Labial Reduction

Every woman is constructed slightly differently. It is not uncommon for a woman to feel dissatisfied with her labia minora (inner lips of the vagina), especially if they are particularly long. In many cases women are just not happy with parts of their genitalia. This can be embarrassing, uncomfortable and can even lead to sexual dissatisfaction or difficulty. Women with exceptionally long or unequal lengths of the labia minora can have them aesthetically reshaped.

What does Labial Reduction Surgery Involve?The procedure is performed in hospital, usually under general anaesthetic and is done in one of two ways. Your surgeon will trim the inner folds so that they no longer protrude - either by reducing the edges of the labia, or by snipping out a 'V' shape wedge of tissue. Then the remaining edges are carefully sewn back together taking care to obtain as natural a result as possible.

Breast augmentation is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness and projection of the breasts or to improve symmetry of the breasts. Clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty, the procedure is used cosmetically to:

How long does Labial Reduction take?
Surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation and will take between 1-2 hours. Depending on the patient you may stay overnight but most patients can go home the same day as the operation.

What can I expect from a Labial Reduction?
You have to be realistic in your expectations. The surgery will restore a more normal appearance to the genitalia. In most cases the surgery is virtually undetectable after complete healing and patients are extremely pleased with the final results.

Recovery after a Labial Reduction Procedure What will happen in the recovery period?
After surgery, women may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which usually disappears completely after 1-2 weeks. The labial incisions usually heal quickly and are rarely noticeable. After the procedure you will wear a panty liner. The sutures dissolve so there is no need for physical removal. You are advised to avoid vigorous exercise for 2 weeks and vaginal intercourse for 4 weeks. A daily bath or gentle shower ensures quick healing which is usually complete within two weeks. Follow up visits will be scheduled to check on your progress.

What is the recovery time from Labial Reduction surgery?
This will depend on the individual patient however recovery is quite rapid - a week after surgery you should be able to return to work, and be able to resume normal activity after 2-3 weeks.

 

Vaginal Tightening surgery(Vaginoplasty)

Be Comfortable With Yours

Vaginal tightening/ Vaginoplasty, often referred to as a designer vagina, is a procedure to enhance the feelings of sexual gratification and should allow the woman to receive and give more pleasure when making love. For women who've experienced childbirth, vaginal muscles tend to expand during the delivery, the result can often be weak, loose, vaginal muscles. This can be embarrassing, uncomfortable and can even lead to sexual dissatisfaction or difficulty. Even after exercise the condition of the vaginal muscles may not improve. The aim of surgery is to improve the tone of the vagina by tightening the vaginal muscles and supporting tissues.

What does Vaginal Tightening Surgery Involve?
This procedure typically tones vaginal muscle, resulting in greater strength, contraction, and control. Vaginoplasty is a standard gynaecologic surgical procedure. The stretched muscle at the back of the vagina is joined together and shortened with dissolvable stitches, and the unwanted skin is removed. This tightens vaginal muscles and surrounding soft tissues, by reducing excess vaginal lining. The scarring is inside the vagina.

How long does Vaginal Tightening take?
Vaginal tightening is performed either under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation, and may require an overnight stay. The operation takes around an hour to perform.

What can I expect from Vaginal Tightening?
Your expectations need to be realistic. The result is an immediate decrease the diameter of the vagina, and an increase in the tightness of vaginal muscles. This will also restore the vagina and supporting structures to a pre-pregnancy state.

Recovery after a Vaginoplasty Procedure What will happen in the recovery period?
You will be sore and possibly a little swollen after surgery. After surgery, you are usually able to walk comfortably within a few days and may return to sexual activities within 4-6 weeks. You will need follow-up checks to ensure that everything is healing properly.

What is the recovery time from Vaginoplasty surgery?
Recovery is quite quick a week after surgery you should be able to return to work. The final result will be seen in around 2-3 weeks following your surgery.

 

 
Hymen Operations

Where is Hymen located?
Where many people believe hymen is inside the vigina, it is located outside of the vagina. Hymen is part of vulva, which is an external genital organ. Hymen is a thin layer of tissue that is easy to break. Some woman breaks their hymen during their first intercourse where other had their hymen broken during sport or other activity.

Imperforate hymen
Imperforate hymen is at the extreme of a spectrum of variations in hymenal configuration. Variations in the embryologic development of the hymen are common and result in fenestrations, septa, bands, microperforations, anterior displacement, and differences in rigidity and/or elasticity of the hymenal tissue.

Different operations exist for the hymen and its best to discuss these during a consultation.

Testimonials

Have now been to Cosmedocs three times, twice for botox and once for filler. Fantastic service and discussed filler to great lengths to make sure i was happy with the choice of filler. Amazing results on top lip, wow, very subtle but everyone can notice i now have a top lip lol. Also had filler in the nasal lines, from nose to mouth, again i couldn't be happier. Had this done at another surgery before and was not happy with the outcome. Again Cosmedocs have excelled for me. Great service, great doctor and great prices.
