Plastic surgeries concerning the genitals of a woman have recently been included in the list of services offered by aesthetic clinics. Many women continue to believe that such surgeries concern only the aesthetic correction of the intimate area, although they often do not realize that such surgery can solve their long-standing and very unpleasant problems that spoil the quality of life. So, for example, vaginal plastic surgery will help get rid of a number of complications that have arisen after a difficult birth or due to age-related hormonal changes. Some important questions that patients would like to find out about intimate plastic surgery, tried to formulate estet-portal.com.
What is vaginal plastic surgery and how is it performed
The objective of a vaginal plasty, or it is also called vaginoplasty, is mainly to improve a woman's quality of life. Sometimes we are really talking about the fact that some aesthetic defects in the genital area (congenital or acquired) cause severe moral discomfort in a woman and interfere with a normal personal life. You can read about popular myths about vaginoplasty in our previous article.
Very often, women seek vaginoplasty to correct the consequences of a difficult childbirth, after which scars have grown at the site of the sutures, tissues have coarsened, and the entrance to the vagina has narrowed.
Medical indications for vaginoplasty include prolapse of the uterus or bladder, prolapse of the vaginal walls, congenital defects in the development of the genital organs, the appearance of fistulas in the vaginal area and other complications that can be life-threatening
Vaginoplasty can be recommended for women during the period of age-related hormonal changes, when the tissues of the vagina lose their tone and elasticity, and the quality of sexual life suffers significantly due to constant moral and physical discomfort in the intimate area.
Colporrhaphy – narrowing of the entrance to the vagina. The surgeon cuts out excess tissue and sutures the walls of the vagina, if necessary, strengthens them with a special mesh. If, after a difficult birth with multiple ruptures, scars have grown and vaginal obstruction has occurred, colpoesis is performed – reconstructive surgery using skin grafts or a fragment of the sigmoid colon.
Preparation for surgery, its implementation and postoperative rehabilitation by and large are no different from any general surgical interventions – you will need a preliminary in-depth medical examination and further careful observance of the doctor's recommendations for the recovery period.
What are the aesthetic indications for vaginal plastic surgery
Indication for aesthetic vaginoplasty – this is a strong moral discomfort of a woman, because of which her sexual relations are violated and the quality of life is reduced. Such discomfort may occur for the following reasons:
- stretching of the vulva and loss of tone in its muscular walls;
- decreased libido due to age-related changes in the genitals;
- aesthetic defects caused by injuries, illnesses and other reasons;
- pain during intercourse.
Labiaplasty and clitoroplasty can be performed simultaneously with the correction of the vagina, if necessary.
During the operation, incisions are made from the side of the mucous membranes, so that the scars after the plastic intervention will remain completely invisible.
When you should think about vaginal plastic surgery to improve your well-being
Indications for vaginoplasty, when a doctor can help in solving really serious problems that worsen life, occur in women who have had difficult or multiple births, who are forced to lift and endure heavy loads. The causes of the development of defects in the vaginal area can be injuries (including surgical ones), various diseases, hormonal fluctuations. All these complexities of life cause:
- prolapse and prolapse of the uterus;
- loss of tone and prolapse of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina;
- urinary incontinence with sudden movements, coughing, laughing and other reactions that cause tension in the abdominal wall;
- bladder prolapse and risk of urinary tract infections;
- violation of the patency of the vagina.
The above and other similar defects can be corrected with vaginoplasty. And this must be done in order to improve the quality of life and prevent the development of more severe complications.
What restrictions after vaginal plastic surgery should be remembered
The rehabilitation period after vaginoplasty lasts approximately 2 months. In the first month after the operation, you will have to follow a strict diet to avoid the risk of constipation, refuse from saunas and hot baths. Intimate contacts are postponed for one and a half to two months. Be sure to minimize any physical activity, especially lifting anything heavy, do not forget about enhanced hygiene of the genitals.
Women who have had a vaginoplasty can later give birth on their own, without the need for a caesarean section. But the process of childbirth, most likely, will nullify the results of the previous vaginal plastic surgery, and then it will need to be repeated
If a woman plans to have children, vaginoplasty is usually only done for serious medical reasons.
