It's Important To Understand A Woman's Underlying Anatomy For Vaginal Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Atrophic (sunken, empty, deflated) appearing labia majora may be a consequence of genetic factors, weight loss, or aging. This results in a loss of the youthful fullness of the labia majora. Augmentation of the labia majora can be achieved by lipo-injection (fat grafting from the abdomen or thighs). This is collected using liposuction techniques.

This surgery is typically scheduled for 1 hour and performed under monitored or general anesthesia. It is commonly combined with other female genitalia cosmetic surgery procedures. If performed as an isolated procedure, you should be able to resume sexual activities in about two weeks.

The G-spot is an erogenous zone located on the upper wall of the vagina approximately 1/3 of the distance from the vaginal entrance to the cervix. When stimulated, it is considered responsible for triggering vaginal orgasms. Injection of a filler material (either collagen or hyaluronic acid i.e., restylane) has been credited with making the area more accessible. This has been shown to result in enhanced sexual arousal and gratification.

This procedure is performed using topical anesthesia and involves injection of filler materials which are identical to those placed into the face.

As you can see, an important part of this examination is the evaluation of the underlying anatomy. The procedure of choice is a complex decision process determined based on your desires, anatomy, practicality, and wound healing. During the consultation we may determine that other procedures are better suited for your optimal outcome. It is also possible that although an appropriate plan has been determined at the time of the initial consultation, it may need to be adjusted intra-operatively.

Insurance may cover the labiaplasty surgery if you have any physical discomfort or functional conditions. It is best to come with a letter documenting and supporting your complaints after evaluation by your gynecologist. Should you seek insurance predetermination of benefits, we are happy to assist you in obtaining preauthorization. However, we do request a consultation fee which can be credited towards your surgical fees.

The length of the surgery depends upon the type of procedures selected. The procedures are most commonly performed on an outpatient basis.

The procedure can be done in several different places (hospital, office surgical suite, or surgicenter) and the prices vary accordingly.

There are risks to crossing the street or flying in an airplane and, of course, there are risks to any surgical procedure. These risks can occur regardless of surgeon or technique. These include but are not limited to: infection, hematoma, discomfort at rest with or without clothing or sexual activity, wound separation, excessive scarring, asymmetry, unfavorable healing, numbness, pain, adverse reaction to medications/injectables/implants, palpability, need for secondary surgical revisions, and inability to guarantee a specific functional and or cosmetic result.
