within 5 to 7 days.

How much discomfort will I have after cosmetic vaginal rejuvenation?
With our technique of submucosal tumescence, pudendal block with long acting local anesthetic, you will be pain free for the first 18 to 24 hours. After this, patients report mild to moderate discomfort which can be controlled by analgesics and cold packs to the area.
How much does vaginal rejuvenation cost?
Fees are all inclusive of the surgical center, anesthesiologist, surgical assistant, surgeon, and follow-up. The fees depend on the type of the procedure and its extent. A fee range can be provided once we know your particular needs.
What are the surgical risk for vaginal rejuvenation?
Cosmetic Vaginal rejuvenation is a safe procedure with low risk. To put the risk in perspective, pregnancy is associated with far more risk than any of these procedures. Like any surgery, the risks are bleeding and infection, but these are less than 1%. If one requires work on both the upper and lower vagina, then there is a small risk of injury to the bladder and the rectum. This is exceptionally rare and in 20 years of our surgical experience we have not encountered any of these complications. With any surgery, one can encounter scarring. Over-correction can potentially result in painful sex. Although rare, there are anesthetic risks, also depending on the type of anesthesia.
Can vaginal rejuvenation or designer vaginoplasty be combined with other cosmetic surgical procedures?
It can be combined with Smart Lipo (Laser Liposuction), VASER Lipo and Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat Transfer).
My inner vaginal lips (labia minora) are too long. Can I have them reduced?
The labia minora can be aesthetically sculptured to your specifications with reduction labioplasty.
My vaginal opening is tight and I cannot have penetration without discomfort. Can this be corrected?
A tight vaginal opening may result from previous surgeries and scarring. It is also a problem in aging patients due to lack of estrogen or due to lack of sexual intercourse for a long period of time. Surgical correction for this is safe and effective.
