Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal Rejuvenation is a combination of surgical procedures which aim to tighten both the internal vaginal muscles and the perineum to help improve overall tone, strength and control-enhancing your sensitivity and sexual experience. In conjunction with this, it deals with the aesthetics of the external labia to neaten up and improve its appearance as this area is commonly stretched during a natural childbirth birth.

There are a number of benefits to vaginal rejuvenation surgery.

As mentioned before, vaginal rejuvenation is a bespoke treatment, made up of a combination of one or more different surgeries. So you will need to decide what you hope to achieve with vaginal rejuvenation surgery. Book a consultation with one of our expert surgeons to discuss your treatment and let us help you to achieve your body goals.

A vaginoplasty, otherwise known as vaginal tightening, is a single procedure which will tighten the internal cavity of the vagina, improving laxity and enhancing sexual sensation. 

Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is made up of a combination of different treatments, including vaginoplasty, labiaplasty and perineum and pelvic floor repair, which together will help to improve the look and function both internally and externally. 

Depending on what you hope to achieve, you may undergo some or all of these procedures as part of your vaginal rejuvenation treatment. A well-considered treatment plan can often achieve the return to a pre-childbirth state for each woman.

It is incredibly common for a woman to have concerns about the look of this area as well as its function as often a woman's vaginal muscles lose tone as part of the ageing process, or after childbirth and this can cause much embarrassment, discomfort, loss of sensitivity or friction during sexual intercourse, often resulting in frustration.

If you are bothered by the appearance and function of your vagina, due to childbirth, age or for any other reason, if you are physically and psychologically fit and healthy and have realistic expectations of what can be achieved by surgery, then you are considered a suitable candidate for vaginal rejuvenation treatment.

During your consultation your surgeon will advise you to stop smoking, drinking and/or taking aspirin or certain other medications prior to your surgery as this can affect or slow down the healing process.  Your surgeon will discuss this with you at length and guide you as to when would be suggested to resume taking these.

Any risks associated with a vaginal rejuvenation procedure are similar to that of any other surgical procedure that involves a general anaesthetic.  Apart from possible bleeding and infection which is not common, there are no specific risks to be concerned about but your surgeon will explain the vaginal rejuvenation procedure to you in detail at your consultation.

It takes six weeks to fully recover from vaginal rejuvenation, as long as you follow all the aftercare advice issued by your surgeon.

Generally there will be swelling, soreness and some bruising in your intimate area after surgery. This should subside in a week or two. After a couple of days you should be able to walk around comfortably.  

Strenuous exercise and sexual activity should be avoided until four to six weeks after surgery. Do not try and rush into these activities before your body has had a chance to fully heal.

Your final result may take a couple of months to fully settle.

Patients will undergo this procedure under general anaesthetic so you will feel no pain during surgery.  After your procedure is complete, any pain or discomfort you may experience will be controlled effectively with medication provided by your surgeon and will usually subside within a few days.

You may experience some mild discomfort, swelling and some bruising, but this will usually disappear completely after 1-2 weeks.   Most stitches will be dissolvable so you won't experience any discomfort – any to be removed will be done so at your 1 week post operative wound care appointment with a specialist nurse.  Many of our patients return to work after one week but you will be advised that you may require two weeks.  You must refrain from exercise and sexual intercourse until fully healed (around 6 weeks).
