Cosmetic Gynecology Considerations

There are many reasons to consider cosmetic gynecology. For some women, large or bulging labia (lips) can make it hard to wear tight-fitting clothes like swimsuits or leotards, or even exercise without irritation. For other women sex may be painful or unsatisfying because the vagina has loosened over time.

In other cases, an abnormally large clitoris may look like a small penis to some women - making sex embarrassing.

Any of these reasons (plus many others) could make cosmetic gynecology right for you.

Cosmetic Gynecology - Questions To Ask Your Provider

Your medical provider will complete a physical exam and recommend the best procedure to fit your needs. Before surgery, ask your provider:

What surgery do you recommend and why?

How should I prepare for my cosmetic gynecology procedure?

How many of my specific surgery have you completed?

What are the risks?

What is the recovery time?

How much pain should I expect?

What activities will I be able to do afterward?

When can I return to work?

Will I be awake or asleep?
