Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to restore tightness to the vaginal canal by addressing stretched or weakened tissues. This involves removing excess vaginal lining and tightening surrounding soft tissues and muscles to enhance function and sensation.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and natural aging can contribute to changes in vaginal laxity and sensation. Many women who undergo vaginoplasty with Dr. Forouzanpour report improved sexual satisfaction and increased confidence
Can Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty procedures be done at the same time?
Yes, simultaneous labiaplasty and vaginoplasty allow patients to address multiple concerns in a single surgical session, including reducing the overall healing period, comprehensive aesthetic enhancement, and cost-effectiveness. This approach can lead to improved sexual satisfaction and comfort, as both the internal vaginal canal and external genital appearance are enhanced concurrently.
Additionally, combining surgeries may reduce overall medical expenses by consolidating facility and anesthesia fees. Schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Forouzanpour to discuss individual goals and risks.
Your Consultation
Dr. Forouzanpour will guide you through an in-depth consultation to determine your candidacy for vaginoplasty. He will review your concerns and goals, assess your anatomy, and provide a detailed recommendation tailored to your unique needs.
During the consultation, Dr. Forouzanpour emphasizes achieving a harmonious balance by addressing the body as a whole rather than focusing on one area. You will also ask questions and discuss your expectations for the procedure. Dr. Forouzanpour believes in empowering patients through education and will ensure you have all the information to make an informed decision.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate for vaginoplasty has good overall health and realistic expectations. Women who experience vaginal laxity and a decrease in sexual satisfaction after childbirth or due to age-related changes may be good candidates for vaginoplasty.
The Procedure
Before surgery, a thorough consultation with Dr. Forouzanpour will include a medical history, physical examination, and a discussion of the procedure, anesthesia options, risks, and expected outcomes. Most procedures are performed under conscious sedation or general anesthesia and typically take between 1 and 1.5 hours.
Recovery
Patients are typically discharged home with prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics to relieve mild discomfort at the surgical site for the first few days. Full recovery usually takes approximately 6 weeks. Dr. Forouzanpour will provide specific post-operative instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous activities for 3-4 weeks and showering 2 days after surgery. Absorbable sutures typically do not require removal.
