Plastic Surgery of the Female Genitalia
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty, also spelled labioplasty, offers women a solution for a problem that may cause them embarrassment, physical discomfort, or pain. The labia, external folds of skin outside the vulva, may become elongated or stretched after childbirth or because of aging. This can cause pain and discomfort during intercourse or every day activities, as well as when wearing tight-fitting clothing. Labial reduction shortens the labia using both standard and laser surgical techniques.
Labiaplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The surgery usually takes one to two hours. Mild discomfort and swelling may persist for up to two weeks.
Liposuction of the mons
The mons pubis can accumulate fat as a woman ages or gains weight. Fat deposits on the mons pubis may become more noticeable after weight loss through dieting or gastroplasty, or after liposuction. Liposuction of the mons may be desired to balance the look of the lower abdomen and pelvis.
Extremely rare side effects may include but are not limited to scarring, bleeding, infection, rippling, skin contour irregularities, change in skin sensation, pigmentation changes and swelling, asymmetry, the inability of the skin to redrape correctly or snap back, fluid accumulations, pulmonary complications, skin loss, and chronic pain. It is important to remember that complications can occur, but are rare.
Liposuction of the mons pubis is an outpatient procedure.
Vaginoplasty
Childbirth, especially multiple childbirths, can stretch out the vagina and weaken muscle tone, reducing sensations for the woman and her sexual partner. Vaginoplasty tightens the vaginal muscles and reduces excess skin in the vagina.
Hymenoplasty
Hymenoplasty usually is performed for cultural or religious reasons. The intact hymen, a sign of virginity, can be torn during intercourse, tampon use, or falling. Hymenoplasty restores the skin membrane that spans across the lower third of the vagina, enabling it to tear and bleed during the first post-operative intercourse.
Risks and potential complications of surgery are best discussed at the time of your consultation.
Smokers have a greater risk of wound healing and pulmonary complications.
Bikini Laser
Hair around the female genitalia can be removed or shaped through the use of laser technology.
