Feminine Rejuvenation

Understandably, women who are suffering from physical and emotional discomfort caused by loose or misshapen vaginal tissues might feel shy or embarrassed to discuss their situation with a physician. However, this very normal condition, typically the result of childbirth or genetics, affects thousands of women across the nation.

Fortunately, cosmetic feminine rejuvenation surgery is gaining recognition in Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and throughout the U.S. as an option to address these problems. According to The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS), the number of feminine rejuvenation procedures performed in the U.S. increased by 64.4% from 2011 to 2012.

What Is Feminine Rejuvenation?

Feminine rejuvenation procedures such as labiaplasty can reduce the size and correct asymmetry in these tissues, helping to increase your comfort and reduce physical pain or embarrassment. Through a relatively simple outpatient procedure with a quick recovery, you will be able to wear swimsuits and form-fitting clothes with confidence and feel more comfortable exercising.

Many women who had been experiencing painful intercourse find sex enjoyable once again after vaginal rejuvenation surgery and even note an improvement in their personal relationships after choosing to have this procedure.

Who Gets Feminine Rejuvenation Surgery?

There is no one typical patient for labiaplasty or other feminine rejuvenation procedures. Women of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, benefit from this surgery. As childbirth can affect the shape and size of the labia and vaginal tissues, many patients who seek feminine rejuvenation in the Washington, DC, area are post-pregnancy moms. It is also common for patients to have suffered from large or prominent labia throughout adulthood. Those who have lost a significant amount of weight may also have excess, loose skin in the vaginal area, an unwelcome side effect of an otherwise positive change.

If any of these women sound like they could be you, you are not alone, and we invite you to schedule a consultation at Center for Plastic Surgery. Our plastic surgeons approach feminine rejuvenation surgery as reconstructive as well as cosmetic and listen closely to understand each patient’s concerns. During your consultation, one of our plastic surgeons, accompanied by our plastic surgery nurse, will explain your options and help you decide if this surgery is right for you.

How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost in the Washington, DC, Metro Area?

Labiaplasty surgery ranges from $4,200 to $5,225, depending on the specifics of the procedure. You will be provided with a personalized cost estimate as part of your consultation.

What Is the Surgery Like?

While the feminine rejuvenation surgical process will be unique to a patient’s individual needs, the procedure usually takes 1-2 hours and can often be performed with light sedation, provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Recovery usually requires one or two days of rest, and most patients can return to work less than a week after surgery. Your surgeon will discuss with you all of the details of surgery and recovery to help you get back to your daily activities as quickly as possible after surgery.
