Cosmetic Vaginal Surgery Options

There are a variety of cosmetic vaginal procedures that affect the internal muscles of the vagina itself or outer structures. You may be a candidate for one, or several procedures including:

Vaginoplasty/vaginal rejuvenation: Tightens and tones loose vaginal walls and the opening to the vagina.

Labiaplasty: Surgical reshaping of the inner or outer labia (lips) of the vulva.

Hymen reconstruction: Restores the hymen to its original position as a covering to the vagina

Clitoral hood reduction: Removes excess skin covering the tip of the clitoris

Choosing a Cosmetic Vaginal Surgeon

Make sure to look for a provider who is reputable and experienced. Ask to see his or her credentials and before & after images of the specific procedure you are having.

Talk with the provider you choose about your hopes for a final outcome and make sure he or she answers all of your questions.

Cosmetic vaginal surgeons may be urogynecologists, gynecologists, or cosmetic surgeons so make sure to look around and take your time finding a provider you feel comfortable with.
