vaginal rejuvenation Archives

Vaginal rejuvenation (VR) is a type of female cosmetic genital surgery (FCGS) that is growing in popularity. It can be performed to enhance sexual satisfaction or to change the appearance of the vagina. Interestingly a number of studies have now been published, confirming that women who opt for vaginal rejuvenation treatment reported greater sexual satisfaction.

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery?

During a VR procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will remove, restore or tighten the skin from the inner or outer labia. This may be done surgically or using laser treatment.

Why Is VR Surgery Performed?

The primary reason that women request vaginal rejuvenation is to increase their vaginal muscle tone, voluntary control of pelvic floor muscles, and muscle strength during sexual intercourse.

Life-related factors such as childbirth, muscle atrophy, and age may contribute to vaginal laxity. Urinary incontinence and loss of muscle control is another important reason that more women are enquiring about VR surgery. Having VR surgery can tighten the muscles of the vagina and increase tightness in the perineum (the area between the anus and vagina).

In general, women visit their cosmetic surgeons to enquire about VR surgery because of:

Childbirth and delivery

Some women experience prolapse or trauma after childbirth. Others may have had an incision in their perineum after childbirth that did not heal well.

Developmental needs

Some women have larger labia or a wider vagina even if they have not delivered children.

Ageing

Some women experience a loss of elasticity in their vaginal muscles as they get older

We are living longer lives in general today, and women are also living for longer. And, even though the first recorded vaginal cosmetic surgery was captured in 1050 AD, it is only in recent years that vaginal rejuvenation has shrugged off its social taboos, and women feel empowered to address their sexual health and wellbeing.

It’s important to note that female sexual dysfunction can cause psychological distress and many medical practitioners believe that sexual dysfunction in women is still under-reported.

Why Does Vaginal Laxity Impact On Sexual Satisfaction?

When the vagina is wide, there is less friction during sexual intercourse, resulting in a lack of satisfaction.

How Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery Work?

The first step is to discuss your needs with your cosmetic surgeon. You will have an in-depth consultation to discuss your goals and any fears you might have. Your surgeon will discuss any risk factors with you during this stage. Your surgeon will also perform a physical assessment, where he or she will evaluate which tissues need to be restored.

After an assessment and discussion, your surgeon will prepare a treatment plan. It may include options for the reshaping or resizing of your labia minora (inner vaginal lips) or the restoration of the vaginal wall. Vaginal rejuvenation surgery can be performed by laser

What Can You Expect After The Procedure?

Most women report some discomfort and swelling after the procedure, which should improve in the first week or two following vaginal surgery. You can expect to resume sexual intercourse around four to six weeks after your procedure, once you have healed fully.

Most women are pleasantly surprised by the improvement in sexual satisfaction following vaginal rejuvenation and report a greater sense of sexual confidence.

What Are The Benefits Of VR?

Change the appearance of your vagina

It’s important to note that no two vaginas are the same, and there is no standard ideal for a vaginal appearance. Even so, some women are dissatisfied or uncomfortable with the appearance of their vagina. Sometimes this occurs after childbirth, but some women are dissatisfied with their vaginas before they have had children. VR surgery can be used to reduce the inner vaginal lips to change their appearance.

Improve muscle strength and tone

The muscle tone and strength of the pelvic floor, perineal and vaginal muscles can be tightened and restored to give you greater voluntary muscle control. This can assist in the management of urinary incontinence.

Improve sexual satisfaction

Tighter vaginal, perineal and pelvic floor muscles contribute to greater sexual satisfaction during intercourse.

Improve confidence and mental wellbeing

Women feel psychologically distressed at a lack of sexual satisfaction and the effects it can have on intimate relationships. Improved self-confidence can lead to improved relationships and greater mental health. It also contributes to a sense of empowerment and self-care.

Are you experiencing vaginal dryness symptoms? You are not alone! Many women go through periods in their life where this may be an issue. In some cases, it may be temporary or treatable. However, for others, vaginal surgery may be considered to help restore youthfulness and femininity!

For many women, this delicate procedure can help to improve the quality of their intimate lives and boost self-esteem. The procedure, however, is very delicate and should only be performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon. Women who suffer from discomfort can also benefit from this procedure. It can also help to alleviate any awkwardness you may feel due to disproportionate or aesthetic concerns with your labia minora.

Talking to a high-quality surgeon about a vaginal rejuvenation surgery can feel embarrassing or difficult for some women, but we want you to know it is perfectly common! The experts at Refine Cosmetic Clinic are knowledgeable in these areas of cosmetic surgery and can help you get an idea of what can be expected from the procedure.

Who Can Benefit From a Labiaplasty?

A labiaplasty, also known as vaginal rejuvenation surgery, is very delicate cosmetic surgery procedure that addresses the feminine area known as the labia minora (inner lips of the vagina). The labia minora can sometimes appear misshapen or protrude outside the labia majora, causing discomfort or aesthetic imperfections. In many cases, it may affect your ability to enjoy a comfortable sex life.

The procedure helps to reshape the labia minora to achieve a more tucked-in appearance by trimming away or altering the current size or shape of the lips. This can help many women who may struggle with wearing certain clothing, such as bathing suits or lingerie, or have discomfort when exercising or performing certain sexual activities. Vaginal rejuvenation surgery can also help to address looseness and related issues that some women may experience.

Some non-surgical procedure may also be available to help tighten the vaginal canal and address symptoms of vaginal dryness.

Similar to vaginal surgery, non-surgical procedures can address both aesthetic and function concerns to help achieve an overall more comfortable result for the patient.

Some facilities may utilise laser technology to help achieve the desired results.

Address Symptoms of Vaginal Dryness

A rejuvenation service can help to enhance the overall function of your most feminine area while helping to simultaneously address any aesthetic concerns, as well. Dryness happens to be a common side effect for many women, but other symptoms may appear, including chafing, pain, discomfort, and more. For women who suffer from vaginal dryness, it is likely due to a drop or change in estrogen levels. This may occur due to various reasons, including:

A natural side-effect of aging
As a result of childbirth or breastfeeding
Radiation, chemotherapy, or medications related to cancer treatment
As a side-effect of an oophorectomy, hysterectomy, or other surgical procedure to remove the ovaries
Medication that reduces estrogen (such as to treat uterine fibroids or endometriosis)
As a side-effect of allergy, cold medication, or even certain antidepressants
Douching excessively

As a result, patients who suffer from vaginal dryness may experience various uncomfortable symptoms as a result, including burning, itching, or pain during intercourse. Additionally, while vaginal dryness may be more common in some patients than others – such as those who are post-menopausal or experiencing menopause – it can occur in women of all ages. Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can help to reduce these uncomfortable symptoms of dryness.

The Risks of Vaginal Dryness

If you or a loved one is struggling with vaginal dryness symptoms, it can be difficult. For some, it can cause pain during intimacy, difficulty enjoying penetration, discomfort while sitting or walking, and overall embarrassment or self-esteem issues. For many women, this can be disheartening. It can also be a difficult topic to discuss with a doctor or cosmetic surgeon, so many women avoid the issue until it becomes unbearable.

It’s important for women not to ignore dryness in these areas, as it could not only be difficult to endure or painful, but it can also lead to other health concerns. Women who experience dryness can be at greater risk for UTIs, for example. It can also lead to an increased risk of damage to the vaginal canal or the skin around the vagina, due to friction or inflammation.

It can also affect women mentally, causing loss of sexual desire or even depression or anxiety in some. Many women who undergo a vaginal rejuvenation service find that they have an improved sexual appetite and can better enjoy intimate moments, thanks to a decrease in vaginal dryness.

Improving Your Quality of Life With Female Rejuvenation Services

In Australia, women all over the country are looking for ways to help improve their appearance and boost their self-esteem and quality of life. In some cases, women can feel self-conscious or embarrassed about their most intimate areas, such as the labia. After childbirth or as we age naturally, it can loosen, the lips may stretch and change appearance overtime.

With a vaginal rejuvenation procedure at Refine Cosmetic Clinic, women in Sydney and the surrounding cities can achieve a more youthful, tighter intimate area.
