Vaginal Rejuvenation Q & A
by Behnam Kashanchi, MDWhat Is a Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation, which is sometimes called “genital plastic surgery,” is a procedure that improves the appearance of a woman’s genitalia. Depending on a patient’s desired effect, an OB/GYN might recommend several different procedures that. Some include:
- a vaginoplasty, which tightens the vagina
- a labiaplasty, which reshapes the labia
- a vulvaplasty, which gives the vulva a renewed appearance
- a clitoral unhooding, which removes the tissue that covers the clitoris
- a G-spot amplification, which can enhance the G-spot’s sensitivity
Additionally, a vaginal rejuvenation might be done to restore the hymen, which is typically broken when a woman loses her virginity. This type of procedure is sometimes called a “revirgination.”
Who Might Benefit From a Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Usually middle-aged and older women are the best candidates for a vaginal rejuvenation. The vagina can loosen during childbirth or as a natural part of aging. The treatment can help address the slackening of the vagina from either of these causes.
What Kind of Doctor Offers Vaginal Rejuvenations?
Although vaginal rejuvenations are a type of cosmetic surgery, they usually aren’t performed by plastic surgeons. Instead, they’re typically done by OB/GYNs, who specifically study women’s reproductive systems and are best qualified to perform cosmetic procedures on them.
Are Vaginal Rejuvenations Safe?
Vaginal rejuvenations are widely considered safe when they’re done by a surgically trained and board-certified OB/GYN. OB/GYNs have been offering vaginal rejuvenations for years, and many women have benefited from the procedures.
How Long Does a Vaginal Rejuvenation Take?
Because several different procedures fall under the umbrella of vaginal rejuvenation, the amount of time that a vaginal rejuvenation can take varies. In general, however, procedures are completed in part of a day. In addition to the procedure itself, OB/GYNs usually want to have at least one pre-procedure consultation and at least one follow-up afterward.
