Hymenoplasty
Hymenoplasty is the restoration of the hymen. The hymen is a fold of membrane, highly variable in shape and appearance, which implies by its presence that you are still a virgin. Because the hymen can be so different in its character, it can sometimes be completely absent in virgins, it can also be ruptured with routine physical play, and you may not even know that it has happened. Hymenoplasty is a surgical gathering up of the remnants of the hymen, surgically tightening the hymeneal ridge. The amount of tightening that is created depends largely on the amount of tissue that is available in the vagina. This surgery has the ability to recreate that virgin like appearance and experience.
Hymen repair, hymen reconstruction, hymen surgery, hymenoplasty or revirgination all refer to cosmetic surgery that restores your hymen.
Hymenoplasty is a simple procedure that repairs a torn hymen. There are two types of hymenoplasty:
Simple Hymenoplasty
Your surgeon will piece together the remnant by closing the tear. It is a rather simple procedure and can be completely healed in three to seven days. The hymen tissue is pulled together so that the vagina will again be covered by it. The risk of fever and infection is low since hymen is relatively avascular.
Alloplant
If your hymen can't not be restored, a tear-through biomaterial will be inserted and act as your hymen. Hymen implant is an easy procedure than can be done under local anesthetic and as a day case surgery. It takes less than two hour and you can return to work the next day. The implanted hymen is not easy to notice and it is not really a hymen.

Vaginal Rejuvenation
Vaginal rejuvenation is a cosmetic surgery that combines labiaplasty and vaginoplasty. A vaginal rejuvenation is performed to restore or improve the appearance and/or function of your vagina. When your vagina relaxes, your muscles are relaxed and have poor tone, strength, and control. The muscles of the perineum are weak and poorly supported. Under these circumstances, the vagina is no longer at its peak performance level. As a result, the sensual side of sexual gratification is diminished. The combination of the two surgeries can usually be done at the same time providing you with an enhanced labia and a tightened vagina during one visit.
Vaginal rejuvenation is for:
• women who suffer from stress incontinence
• women who want to increase their sexual pleasure
• women whose vaginal areas have stretched due to pregnancies or aging
• women who have experienced vaginal trauma
• women who want their labial lips reduced, enhanced or re-shaped
• women who want to reconstruct their hymen to its original state
• women whose vaginal size is not totally compatible with their partner's penis size
Laser vaginal rejuvenation lasts 1-2 hours and is an outpatient procedure. The benefits are minimal bleeding, rapid healing and nominal recovery time. This procedure effectively enhances vaginal muscle tone, strength and control. It also decreases the internal and external vaginal diameters as well as builds up and strengthens the perienal body.
This procedure is usually performed under a general anesthetic, which means that you are not awake during the surgery. If you want to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia instead, you can, or you can choose an intravenous sedation or even local anesthesia.
After the operation your surgeon will give you a prescription for painkillers and Valium too if necessary. You can be back to work within 5 to 7 days. After the procedure there is no sex for about six weeks.

The purpose of a labiaplasty is to define the inner labia, the urethral opening is redefined, and improvements can be made to the vagina. Problems with the labia can be caused by genetics, sexual intercourse or difficulties in childbirth. If you are considering a labiaplasty, your cosmetic surgeon will have before and after pictures of other women who have had to have the surgery so that you can see what a difference it can make.
Labia Minora (inner lips) Reduction
If you have a large protuberant appearing labia minora and are embarrassed or experience irritation when wearing pants, surgical labial reduction can greatly improve the aesthetic appearance of the abnormally enlarged labia.
Labia Majora (outer lips) Reduction

The length of surgery is between 1 to 2 hours. Labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. After surgery you may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which usually disappears completely after 1-2 weeks. Labial incisions usually heal and are rarely noticeable.

The tip of the liposuction instrument vibrates rapidly, with special contours to the tip to enable the efficient removal of fat from previously hard to get to areas, such as the flanks of men. This allows your surgeon to have more precise control for the efficient removal of fat; therefore, decreasing the amount of time you will be under anesthesia.

Abdominoplasty Cost
If you have loose skin on your stomach or fat that is concentrated in the abdomen you may be able to benefit from abdominoplasty. You may have inherited this problem or maybe you've lost a tone of weight that has caused your sheets of lost skin and muscles. Abdominoplasty also can tighten muscles that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy. It's a great way to improve those stretch marks, especially those located below the navel and abdominoplasty costs are pretty reasonable.
In most cases, a horizontal incision is placed just within or above the pubic area. The length of the incision, which extends laterally toward the pelvic bones, depends largely on the amount of skin to be removed. The contour of this incision will vary somewhat according to the structure of your abdomen and the style of bathing suit or undergarments that you prefer. Your cosmetic surgeon will try to keep the incision within your bathing suit lines, but this may not always be possible.
Abdominoplasty can produce dramatic results in people who suffer from excess fat in the abdominal region but are otherwise in reasonably good shape. Women suffering from stretch marks and scars due to previous pregnancy can also achieve substantial aesthetic improvements through abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). The best candidates for abdominoplasty are patients in basically good health and who have a full understanding of the benefits and potential risks of the procedure.
Complications
Most cosmetic surgeries have a low rate of complications, but be aware that every surgery carries some risk. Be sure to discuss the possible risks and complications with your surgeon so that are fully informed before your surgery.
Some patients have reactions to the anesthesia or sedation used during surgery. Most anesthetic complications occur with general anesthesia. Abdominoplasty cost normally runs between $6000 and $7500.

Hypertrophic Labia
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and/or reshapes the labia minora, the skin that surrounds the vaginal opening. In most women, the labia minora are seen only when the legs are separated. However in some women, large labia minora are visible when the legs are not apart, or are barely separated, causing embarrassment, self-consciousness, and distancing in relationships. Hypertrophic labia may also be noticeable in tight fitting pants, and can cause discomfort during intercourse, with clothes, or with exercise. Hypertrophic labia are usually congenital but may be increased from hormonal changes or childbirth. Labiaplasty is a procedure to correct this problem.
The purpose of a labiaplasty is to define the inner labia, the urethral opening is redefined, and improvements can be made to the vagina. Problems with the labia can be caused by genetics, sexual intercourse or difficulties in childbirth.
When this occurs, the labia are not simply cut-off or amputated, the vaginal lips are contoured by using a variety of sculpting tools including: laser, electric cutting current, scalpel, and plastic surgery scissors. You can have both of the protruding labia minora reduced or a single side to make it symmetrical with the smaller other side. Most women want their labia minora reduced to the level or below the level of the labia majora as well as having the darkened edges of the labia removed so they are pink and more youthful in appearance.
Sutures
The labia reduction surgery usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. The sutures are made of a delayed absorbable material called Vicryl. These sutures usually dissolve in 6 weeks, however some have been known to last anywhere from 3-12 weeks. At which point they dissolve and the ends of the sutures fall off.
You should plan your surgery when you are able to take it easy for a few weeks. If your surgery is medically necessary, is classified as reconstructive surgery, it may be covered by your health insurance.
