Vaginal Rejuvenation in Beverly Hills by Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy

We all want and deserve to feel good about ourselves, and cosmetic surgery has provided the ultimate solution for people who wish to make changes in their physical appearance. When we like the way that we look, we feel confident, empowered and attractive. However, cosmetic surgery isn’t just limited to your face and the more obvious parts of your body.

Vaginal rejuvenation can help women feel more comfortable with their vaginal anatomy after childbirth and other cosmetic irregularities.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation, also referred to as vaginoplasty, is an internal reconstructive procedure designed to re-build the internal walls of the vagina.

It is most often requested by patients who feel that their vagina has loosened, normally due to aging or childbirth. As a result, they have lost the elastic feeling that they once had, which can impact their ability to use tampons, as well as their sexual pleasure.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that addresses the appearance of the labia minora – the flaps of skin either side of the vaginal opening.

The size and shape of the labia can vary quite significantly from woman to woman. Those women who have particularly large labia may find that it causes them discomfort or embarrassment, and so they turn to labiaplasty to make aesthetic improvements to them.

What are the Medical Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation?

The labia minora or lips of the vulva are the tissue located on each side of the vaginal opening from the clitoral hood to the perineum. They can be present in various shapes and sizes. These include normal small strands to larger sizes that are sometimes referred to as “elephant ears.”

Labia minora hypertrophy is variable but has been defined as labia with a longitudinal length longer than 4cm. Ideally the labia should protrude slightly past the introitus at about 1cm.

Traditionally labia minora reductions have been performed by trimming the labial edge and then over-sewing the cut edge.

The varying sizes of the labia minora are normal and do not indicate any health issues. Even within this range, numerous patients are far from being comfortable with the size and appearance of their labia.

Vaginal Rejuvenation & Labiaplasty Anesthesia

Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is performed under a general anesthetic and involves removing excess lining, before tightening the muscles and surrounding soft tissues.
In some cases, it may be necessary for Dr. Lesavoy to graft additional skin from another part of the body to rebuild the walls of the vagina sufficiently. Internal incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.

Labiaplasty surgery is most often carried out under a general anesthetic. However, it can also be performed using a local anesthetic and heavy sedation.

The procedure itself involves cutting away excess tissue from the labia to make the labia shorter, neater, and firmer. The incisions are then closed using sutures, which will dissolve within a week of your surgery.

Vaginal Rejuvenation & Labiaplasty Recovery

Most patients can return home the same day after Labiaplasty surgery, but should expect to take off from work for at least a few days to give your body time to recover. However, it can take several months for the skin to be fully healed.

You may be in some discomfort immediately after your surgery, and Dr. Lesavoy will prescribe you pain relief to help minimize this.
