Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is a procedure to reconstruct or enhance the vagina. Vaginal surgery can correct a range of conditions including prolapse, urinary incontinence, and childbirth trauma. The results of this kind of vaginal surgery are long-lasting and offer significant health benefits for women in all areas of their lives.

The Main Goal For This Surgery

The main goal of vaginal rejuvenation surgery is to restore the vagina and pelvic floor to a healthy state to prevent and treat incontinence and prolapse. Statistics show that 80% of women who are incontinent are suffering from pelvic organ prolapse. Vaginal rejuvenation surgery does not directly repair the pelvic floor, but it uses the newly created space to restore a healthy pelvic floor and vagina.

Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is also very effective at preventing urinary incontinence for women who have had vaginal birth or a hysterectomy. Nearly 30% of women report urinary incontinence after childbirth, but when these women have their pelvic floor repaired via vaginal rejuvenation surgery, it can resolve 75% of all cases of urinary incontinence.

Other goals for vaginal reconstruction are to improve the angle of your vagina, strengthen and tighten muscles, and smooth or contour the tissue. The goal is not to create an entirely new vagina, but to make the existing vagina as similar to a younger version as possible.

Some common questions we hear about vaginal rejuvenation surgery are “is vaginal rejuvenation surgery for me?” and “what is the difference between vaginal rejuvenation surgery vs. labiaplasty?”

Comparing Labiaplasty vs Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery

Labiaplasty does not address the long-term changes in the vagina. It is best to view labiaplasty as part of a vaginal rejuvenation procedure, rather than performing it alone. Labiaplasty will reduce the size of the labia minora, but it does not restore tissue health to vaginal area.

Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is not limited to women who have had children. Many women choose vaginal rejuvenation surgery after menopause when their hormones change and their symptoms worsen. This is an excellent time for this procedure since there are fewer risks associated with vaginal surgery after menopause.

Other benefits of vaginal rejuvenation surgery include decreased pain after childbirth, recovery time, and the ability to resume intercourse after the procedure.

Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is also much less invasive than labiaplasty or other procedures that involve cutting corners in an area that gets banged around a lot, like on a motorcycle or on a cheerleading squad. With more women getting new jobs as airline pilots and military personnel, these women are often subjected to getting thrown around – especially at speeds of over 100 miles per hour.
