Frequently Asked Questions

 When people say vagina, what they’re often talking about is actually the labia. Labia are the lips or folds of skin that sit on either side of the vaginal opening. You might call them flaps or lips. Whatever you call them, it’s worth knowing that labia are all different.  

Vulva is all your private bits downstairs.

Vagina is the inside bit.

And Hymen is inside that!!

Before you think of surgery, You should know your anatomy and your problem

Vulva

The proper name for women’s outer genitals is the vulva.

 Just like any other part of the body, women’s vulvas come in all shapes and sizes. But they are hidden away and many people have never even seen their own. Labia (the lips or folds of skin that sit on either side of the vaginal opening) come in all shapes, sizes, colours and textures.

Pubic Hair

Pubic hair is the hair that grows around the genital and anal regions. It varies in colour, texture, length and thickness and often extends up the front or back or onto the thighs.

Clitoris

At the top of the labia minora, there is a fold of skin called the clitoral hood. This connects to the tip of the clitoris. The clitoris extends internally and is full of nerve endings- 15,000 of them- and the tip of the clitoris is usually the most sensitive area on the vulva and is the only organ on the entire body that’s sole purpose is sexual arousal.

Labia Majora and Labia Minora

Women have two sets of labia: the labia majora (outer labia) and the labia minora (inner labia), which sit inside the outer labia. There are lots of other names for the labia minora. You might call them flaps or lips but, whatever you call them, the labia minora have a very important function. They protect the vagina and they’re also full of nerve endings that provide sensation and lubrication during sex.

Urethra

The urethra is the urinary opening, the tiny opening where you urinate from.

Vagina

The vagina is the passage between the uterus and the external genitals. It is only one part of the vulva, but many people don’t know that there’s a difference between them and mistakenly call the entire outside part of women’s genitals the vagina. The only part of the vagina that’s visible from the outside is the opening. Most of the vagina is actually on the inside and it leads all the way up to the cervix.

These procedures, vaginoplasty and labia plasty,should be done once your family is complete.

There are as many different vulvas as there are faces.

Very few need surgery

Designer vulvas and vaginas are a FAD and do not request those .

No cosmetic surgery will fix mental health issues, or marriage/relationship issues.

A good cosmetic surgeon will take this into account before agreeing to operate

BUT

There are situations where these procedures are required.

A feeling of vaginal looseness after childbirth is a common concern for many women. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening and how you can address it:

The primary reason for feeling “loose” is often weakened pelvic floor muscles.  Childbirth stretches these muscles, which support the vagina, uterus, and bladder.

Temporary vs. Long-term:  While some initial looseness is normal, it usually improves significantly within weeks or months postpartum. However, some women may experience a more persistent feeling of looseness.

 Addressing Looseness:

  • What you can do
  • Weight loss
  • Pelvic exercises
 

Kegel Exercises: These exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improving tone and tightness in the vagina.

Time and Patience:  Regaining strength takes time and consistent effort. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Aim for at least 3 sets of 10-15 Kegels daily.

  • Non-surgical Options:  
 

In some cases, vaginal tightening vaginal tightning with laser and emsella chair may help.

These van also help to maintain tightness after surgey

  •  Surgical Options: 
 

Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure to tighten the vaginal muscles.  This is typically considered a last resort and should only be done by a board-certified OB-GYN or plastic surgeon after a thorough discussion of risks and benefits.

Important Considerations:

 Communication: Open communication with your doctor is key. Discuss your concerns about looseness and explore the best options for you.

Realistic Expectations: Remember, the vagina won’t return to its exact pre-baby state. The focus should be on regaining strength and function for improved sexual satisfaction and overall well-being.

 Remember, you’re not alone in this. Many women experience this after childbirth.  By focusing on strengthening your pelvic floor muscles and open communication with your doctor, you can address this concern and improve your postpartum well-being.

Vaginal rejuvenation is a broad term for vaginal corrective treatments. These procedures can be done for cosmetic reasons or to solve age-related problems, such as lack of vaginal tightness and urinary incontinence.

Vaginal rejuvenation is a broad term that describes various vaginal corrective procedures. Due to causes ranging from childbirth and aging to genetics, your vagina and its surrounding

People get vaginal rejuvenation to address common issues associated with having children or menopause, including vaginal looseness, lack of lubrication and loss of sexual intimacy. Treatment can help minimize these symptoms as well as:

  • Loose skin around the vagina.
  • Leaking urine when jumping, sneezing or laughing.
  • Not being able to hold your urine.
  • Decreased libido.
  • Excess dryness.
  • Painful sex.
  • Loss of sensation and sexual satisfaction.
  • Lack of confidence or low self-esteem.

Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can be surgical or nonsurgical. Treatment affects the vulva (the outer part of the female genitals) and the vaginal canal (where penetration occurs during sex or where you put a tampon).

 Surgical methods of vaginal rejuvenation

Surgical methods of vaginal rejuvenation typically involve sedation or anesthesia. A gynecologic or plastic surgeon performs these procedures. Some common surgical procedures for vaginal rejuvenation are:

Labiaplasty: Reshaping your labia or the “lips” of your vagina.

Vaginoplasty: Tightens or repairs the vaginal canal after childbirth.

Clitoral hood reduction: Removes extra tissue that covers the clitoris.

Monsplasty: Removes fatty tissue from the public bone area.

Vulvoplasty: Reshapes the vulvar area (external genitalia).

Perineoplasty: Strengthens the perineum (space between your vagina and anus).

Nonsurgical methods of vaginal rejuvenation

 Nonsurgical methods of vaginal rejuvenation are noninvasive with a short recovery time. They help tighten and tone your vaginal area without needles or surgery. Nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation involves heating the top layers of vaginal tissue. This causes the underlying tissue to create extra collagen and new, firmer tissue.

 Nonsurgical treatment includes:

 CO2 laser treatment: The laser heats the upper layers of the tissue in your vagina, causing the tissue in the lower layers to make more collagen. This makes the skin firmer and tighter. Brand names of laser devices include MonaLisa Touch®, FemTouch® and FemiLift®.

RF (radio frequency) treatment: RF treatment uses electromagnetic waves, similar to the waves used in a microwave (but to a lesser extent). RF waves heat the vaginal tissue, encouraging blood flow and collagen production. Brand names of RF devices include Viveve®, Emsella® and ThermiVA®.

RF and laser treatments are done in an office setting. Little, if any, local anesthetic is used during the procedure. You can typically continue with your day without needing any recovery time.

If you have a nonsurgical treatment, you should wait at least three to five days to have sex. Check for signs of infection or bleeding before engaging in sexual intercourse. You should also refrain from using a tampon or inserting anything into your vagina during the recovery period.

 Surgical treatment may require abstinence from sex for several weeks until the area has healed and stitches have dissolved. Talk to your surgeon or provider about specific recovery instructions.

It depends. Laser and RF treatments usually need to be repeated over several sessions. Results are not permanent. 

Surgical procedures may last longer, but there is no guarantee that the results will last forever.

I find that a few years after surgery ,the vagina may losen a little and getting laser or RF treatment can help maintain the tightness
