Labiaplasty continues to gain relevance and popularity in Minnesota and elsewhere when it comes to treating a host of gynecological issues. This procedure gives women new confidence and lets them enjoy better physical function that was taken from them because of factors beyond their control. Find out what a labiaplasty is and why women undergo this surgery today.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that primarily aims to tighten the vagina. It is classified as a cosmetic surgery rather than a reconstructive surgery because of the goals it accomplishes and the manner in which it is performed. It aims to improve the appearance as well as the function of this part of the body.
As mentioned, labiaplasty surgery is performed for a variety of reasons. You may undergo this operation if you suffer from one of the common circumstances that can be remedied with this medical treatment.
Reasons for Labiaplasty
The primary reason that labiaplasty is done is to tighten the vagina and/or improve its appearance and function. The vagina’s structure and integrity can be compromised because of things like:
• Childbirth
• Trauma
• Injury
• Aging
• Birth or congenital defects
Women in Minnesota who have endured circumstances like these may not have normal sensation in this part of the body and, thus, be unable to engage in sexual intercourse or carry a pregnancy normally. Their menses likewise may be compromised without this cosmetic surgery.
Once you are sedated prior to the surgery, our doctor can tighten the vaginal muscles and make other important changes to the vagina. When you are fully recovered, you should have better sensation and function in this intimate area of your body.
As safe and effective as this operation is, it cannot be performed on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is important to consult with our surgeon prior to determining whether or not this procedure is right for you.
