Labiaplasty other female vaginal plastic surgeries including vaginoplasty and clitoral unhooding are becoming more popular as social acceptance of these cosmetic and reconstructive procedures continues toward mainstream. Labia surgery involves labia reduction whereas vaginal rejuvenation is the tightening of the vagina.
Three Surgical Procedures
• Labiaplasty reduces a large labia minora or labia majora's outward appearance and correct misshapenness or irregularities.
• Vaginoplasty - often called vaginal rejuvenation - tightens and enhances the sensitivity of the vagina.
• Finally, clitoral unhooding offers women new heightened sensation, arousal and increased personal satisfaction in their sex lives.
Labia reduction surgery is for women with enlarged or uneven labia minora. Large labia minora or vaginal lips can lead to discomfort with certain clothing, exercise, and sex. Labiaplasty is the reduction of the labia minora or the inner lips of the vagina. Lasers, fine scissors or a knife can be used. After labia reduction, the labia edges are then sewn together with dissolvable stitches. Surgery lasts between one and two hours and is generally performed under general anesthesia. Spinal anesthetic may also be used if you wish to be awake.
Vaginoplasty or vaginal tightening surgery, removes excess vaginal skin to narrow the diameter of the vagina, resulting in a smaller and tighter vaginal opening. When the vagina becomes stretched from aging and child birth vaginoplasty tightens and restores the vagina and supporting structures.
Choosing to have vaginal plastic surgery is an important personal decision, and it doesn't matter whether you are choosing vaginal surgery for self-esteem, vaginal discomfort or to increase sexual sensation, it's your choice. No one wants to age or lose optimal function anywhere, and this includes the vaginal and vulvar structures.
Depending on your choice of doctor and geographic location vaginoplasty prices may range between $4500 and $9000.
