Cosmetic Procedures

Vaginal childbirth and aging can cause changes to the appearance of the vagina and surrounding structures and may also cause loss of sensation during intercourse. For many women, sex is simply not the same after childbirth. Many women are also dissatisfied with the aesthetic appearance of their vagina.

If you want to enhance your sex life or improve the appearance of your vagina, talk to Dr. Robert Bass about vaginal cosmetic surgery. Depending on your goals, you may be a candidate for:

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty is not an aesthetic procedure, but rather a functional repair of the vagina to its prior anatomical state. During childbirth the vaginal muscles and tissue become stretched and often fail to return to their pre-pregnancy dimensions, which may result in a feeling of “looseness” and diminished sexual sensation for both you and your partner. For some women, a loose feeling may even be present without prior childbirth.

Vaginoplasty will tighten the vagina and surrounding tissues, resulting in a snugger sensation and possibly enhanced gratification.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to reduce the size or contour of the small inner lips of the vagina (labia minora). Many women find their labia to be “too large” or asymmetric, which may become apparent as a young woman develops or becomes accentuated after childbirth.

Large or elongated labia may result in discomfort with certain clothing, sports, and even sexual activity, accompanied by a feeling of embarrassment and diminished self-esteem. Outpatient labiaplasty will improve the cosmetic appearance of the outer vagina and often improves the associated discomfort.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is an outpatient surgical procedure that incorporates both vaginoplasty and labiaplasty. The vagina is tightened, providing greater sensation, and the labia are contoured to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
