Vaginal Rejuvenation

Featured Surgeons

Vaginal rejuvenation ... what was once not possible, and perhaps even taboo, is now one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures, today. This surgery has been called "the new boob job" and "the new Botox" by doctors trying to illustrate its appeal. The widespread interest in this new procedure which helps beautify and tighten the "va-jay-jay" is generating a lot of search volume and revenue for surgeons, physicians and specialists who are trained to perform vaginal rejuvenation. What started out as a nickname on shows like, Grey's Anatomy and Oprah is now a mainstream topic of interest in the world of aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. That's right! Women all over the world are tuning up their va-jay-jays, because they can. The truth is, as intimate as the subject matter and procedure may be, women want it and are searching for doctors in increasing volumes every day. Why? Because they are unhappy with their vaginas and they want to do something about it. The latest innovations in vaginal rejuvenation have been featured in and on magazines, radio talk shows, newspapers and popular TV shows such as "Dr. 90210" and "The View." The procedure has been covered in magazines like Playboy, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar.

Vaginal rejuvenation is also sometimes referred to as:

• Vaginoplasty
• Female genital reconstruction

Vaginal rejuvenation is a more superficial procedure to tighten and firm the vaginal area and canal after childbirth, which occurs with loosening of the tissue that comes with age and changes to tone and elasticity. This procedure does not address the labia, or "lips," of the woman's genitalia. Cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures that involve the aesthetic and physical augmentation of the labia majora and minora are called: labiaplasty or labiaplasty, labia reduction, labia rejuvenation and vaginal lip reduction. However, as the vaginal surgeries become more popular, the terms are used interchangeably by many people. When you talk with your surgeon, make sure you and he/she discuss the specific surgery you desire for the best outcomes.

With all the buzz surrounding vaginal augmentation, women want to know more about it! At Vaginal Rejuvenation Guide, we're here to answer your questions and help you to learn what vaginal rejuvenation is, what it does and if it's right for you.

Women who decide to have cosmetic procedures to enhance the vagina enjoy a high rate of satisfaction with the outcomes. Patients report increased self-confidence, greater comfort and enhanced sexual pleasure.

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

As women's bodies age, they go through changes: wrinkled and sagging skin. Increased fat deposits and decreased muscle mass develop throughout the body, including the vagina. Young women tend to have taut vaginas and then lose tone and strength, which comes with age and genetics. Severe strain on the pelvis and vagina during childbirth can cause a loss of elasticity and muscle tone at the opening.

Vaginal rejuvenation is used to increase the tightness and tone of the vagina. During the procedure, the surgeon tightens the vaginal opening and walls, and rebuilds and reinforces the surrounding tissues, tightening the vagina.

This surgery is designed to not only correct and perfect a woman's vagina, but also to boost her self-confidence and help improve her quality of life. With the proper care, the woman should see results in a short time.

Why Get Vaginal Rejuvenation?

A loss of vaginal tone can contribute to a loss of sensation and sexual satisfaction during intercourse. A loose and weak vagina doesn't provide enough friction to give either partner maximum pleasure. Both partners can come away feeling that sex isn't as good as it was, which can result in decreased interest in sex and less sexual intimacy.

If a woman's partner feels like her vagina is loose, and the woman feels her partner's penis isn't thick enough, vaginal rejuvenation surgery might help. It can address issues where weak vaginal and perineal muscles cause a lack of vaginal tone.

The same weak pelvic muscles that cause reduced sexual pleasure can also cause incontinence. Some incontinence is common among aging women and mothers. Women leak urine during periods of activity and exertion, such as exercising, sneezing, laughing, bending or while engaging in sex. It can be embarrassing and inconvenient.

By restoring tone and strength to the area, a vaginal rejuvenation can help to clear up issues with incontinence, too. Restoring tightness to the vagina can increase sexual satisfaction for both partners.

What Can't Vaginal Rejuvenation Do?

Vaginal rejuvenation won't solve emotional issues, and it won't fix a relationship. Talk to your primary care physician if you have a low interest in sex, sexual dysfunction or anorgasmia. This procedure does not address the labia or clitoris (see our Designer Vaginal Rejuvenation page for information for issues that have to do with those areas).

Vaginal rejuvenation can't solve incontinence that is caused by issues other than weak pelvic muscles, such as urge incontinence caused by overactive bladder muscles and overflow incontinence, which occurs when the bladder won't empty fully.

Benefits Of Vaginal Rejuvenation

The benefits of vaginal rejuvenation can be enormous!

Vaginal rejuvenation helps women revitalize stretched vaginal lining, tissues and muscles. With this procedure, women can feel more confident about themselves and their sexuality. In addition, it can improve the way a woman feels about herself, and this translates into how she is perceived by others. It can help to give her a stronger confidence and enjoy her sexual life with her partner.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Patient Qualifications

Vaginal rejuvenation surgery, as with any surgery, involves trauma to the body. Your body needs to be in good shape to withstand this stress and remain strong and healthy. People with illnesses or conditions that make it hard for them to heal might not be able to undergo this procedure.

Patients at Risk:

• Women with diabetes, chronic illnesses, heart and lung disorders and bleeding disorders will probably not be candidates for this surgery.
• People who smoke tend to be at higher risk with any surgery; if you smoke and are seriously thinking about vaginal rejuvenation, consider quitting.

Your surgeon will review your qualifications to ascertain whether it would be safe for you to undergo this surgery and whether the surgery would help you. You will not know until you meet with a surgeon if this surgery is right for you, but there are some simple things to consider as you proceed.

If your vagina feels significantly different than it once did, especially if it feels loose, you could be experiencing something that a vaginal rejuvenation could help. Similarly, if you have a hard time keeping tampons in your vagina, or if your partner's penis falls out frequently during sex, that could indicate a certain amount of vaginal laxity. If you experience urine leakage during moments of abdominal pressure, this could also indicate pelvic weakness - in which vaginal rejuvenation could help.

Should I Get a Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Deciding whether or not this procedure is right for you can be a difficult decision. A lot of factors are involved. Learning more about this procedure can be a big help in making your decision. Before you can make the right decision, you'll need to know what a vaginal rejuvenation can do, how it is performed, what side effects are common, how much it costs and how to find the right surgeon.

When you feel ready for a consultation, your surgeon will let you know what he or she thinks a vaginal surgery could do for you. He or she can explain whether the procedure is likely to address your concerns, or whether a different surgery is necessary.

Remember, you are the only one who can make the decision to get a vaginal rejuvenation. It is your body. Regardless of what your spouse, doctor or friends say, the final choice is yours, and you have to be comfortable with it.

How (and Why) to Get a Vaginal Rejuvenation Consultation

Your consultation is where you will first meet with a surgeon and discusses the vaginal rejuvenation surgery. At your consultation, you will share the complaints that you are hoping to solve. Your surgeon will discuss the procedure, technique and estimated costs with you and also share before and after photos of other women who have had the procedure.

The surgeon will look over your medical history and give you a physical examination to rule out potentially dangerous conditions that would make surgery unwise.

The surgeon will also give you an idea of what procedure he or she would recommend for you. He or she will explain exactly what the surgery would entail, possible side effects, how long your recovery is likely to last, and the cost.

You will not be forced to make a binding decision at your consultation. It is perfectly acceptable to take time to think or to change your mind altogether.

Treat your consultation as a part of your decision-making process. It is an excellent way to learn more about vaginal rejuvenation surgery, and get a more concrete idea of what it could do for you and at what cost. It is also a great time to learn more about the surgeon. You can learn about a surgeon's level of professionalism, courtesy and trustworthiness by seeing how they treat you during your consultation. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, consider looking for a different surgeon.

Your consultation could be free, or it could involve a fee. Sometimes the fee is applied toward the surgery fee or toward pre-operative testing that is performed at your consultation.
