Am I a suitable candidate for Vaginoplasty?
The aim of vaginoplasty surgery is to improve the tone of the vagina by tightening the vaginal muscles and supporting tissues.
You could be an ideal candidate for vaginoplasty if you are a woman who would like:
- To improve the appearance of your external genitalia.
- Restore your self-esteem.
- Rejuvenate your love life.
Women suffering from stress incontinence (involuntary loss of urine with coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or sex) can also have this problem corrected by vaginoplasty.
Why else should I consider vaginoplasty?
In addition, vaginoplasty can sometimes remove from a woman a sense of discomfort. At times, a torn vagina can create a rubbing or pulling sensation, especially when a woman wears tight-fitting clothes. After vaginoplasty, a woman no longer feels that pull.
I have a prolapsed pelvis. Can vaginoplasty help me?
Vaginoplasty offers real relief to a woman with a prolapsed pelvis. Such a condition results from a weakening of the muscles at the base of the pelvis. The weakening of those muscles causes the pelvis to press on the woman's vagina. Such pressure triggers development of a level of discomfort in the region of the vagina.
Who may not be a suitable candidate for vaginoplasty?
Responsible cosmetic surgeons will not perform on women who are pregnant. However, the surgery is extremely popular for women who have recovered from childbirth.
I have just had a baby, should I wait to have vaginoplasty?
Doctors recommend that mothers wait for about a year after childbirth before vaginoplasty.
Can vaginoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Vaginoplasty can be performed singularly or in combination with other aesthetic (cosmetic) genitalia procedures, such as a labiaplasty, which is the surgical reduction or reconstruction of the outer or inner lips of the vagina.
So could I have vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty might be a good option for you if you have:
- Realistic expectations - An optimal vaginoplasty candidate will understand not only what Vaginoplasty can accomplish, but also the limitations of the procedure.
- Good overall health - An optimal vaginoplasty candidate will be generally healthy and will inform her surgeon of any pre-existing medical conditions well in advance. It is essential that the patient be physically prepared for surgery.
Consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon can help a patient attain the information needed to make the right decision about Vaginoplasty surgery.
