Here are the 13 frequently asked questions about vaginal rejuvenation answered by our expert cosmetic gynaecologist in Hyderabad at Eternelle Aesthetics.

Scroll down to know everything you must be aware of Vaginal Rejuvenation.

1. What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal Rejuvenation is a medical term referring to surgical and non-surgical vaginal corrective procedures designed for cosmetic purposes or to address age, genetics, menopause, or vaginal delivery-related issues like lack of vaginal tightness, vaginal dryness, loss of sexual intimacy, and urinary incontinence. Many women seek vaginal rejuvenation to improve the appearance and function of their vagina and get a boost in their confidence and esteem.

2. What are the Surgical Methods to Rejuvenate the Vagina?

Surgical vaginal rejuvenation in Hyderabad is possible with procedures like vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, vulvoplasty, monsplasty, and perineoplasty. Vaginoplasty is done to repair or tighten the vaginal canal. Labiaplasty helps reshape the vaginal lips-the labia. Clitoral hood reduction is performed to remove extra tissues covering the clitoris. Vulvoplasty helps reshape the external genitalia- the vulvar region. Monsplasty is done to get rid of fatty tissues that cause bulging of the mons. Perineoplasty helps strengthen the perineum-the space between the vagina and anus.

3. What are the Non-surgical Methods to Rejuvenate the Vagina?

Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation in Hyderabad involves heating the top vaginal tissues to encourage fresh collagen synthesis and new, firmer vaginal tissues. The options include the use of CO2 lasers and radiofrequency treatment with RF devices such as Emsella. There are even O-shots- the PRP vaginal rejuvenation available that can treat urinary incontinence and improve orgasms.

4. Can Vaginal Rejuvenation Help Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary Incontinence is a urological condition wherein an individual accidentally leaks urine due to loss of control of the urinary bladder. It is most commonly seen among women due to pregnancy, vaginal delivery, age, menopause, underlying medical conditions, daily habits, or physical problems.

Thankfully, vaginal rejuvenation can help treat urinary incontinence along with other vaginal problems like vaginal looseness, discomfort, dryness, and non-appealing appearance. There are different non-surgical and surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedures available for treating urinary incontinence. We offer laser vaginal rejuvenation, Emsella treatment (electromagnetic pelvic floor therapy), Kegel exercises, PRP vaginal rejuvenation (O-shot), and even vaginoplasty (in severe cases).

5. What are the Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation offers plenty of benefits including:

  • Improved tightness of the vagina
  • Increased moisture and lubrication
  • Increased vaginal sensitivity and sensations
  • No leakage of urine (urinary incontinence)
  • Strengthened muscles of the vagina and pelvic floor
  • Improved painful intercourse
  • Enhanced appearance of the vulvar region- labia, clitoris, or vaginal opening.

6. Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Hurt?

No. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation is performed under general anaesthesia that leaves the patient asleep during the treatment. For a less extensive vaginal rejuvenation of a healthy woman, local anaesthesia may be enough to ensure no discomfort throughout the procedure.

The pain relief is provided for initial 12 to 24 hours. After the procedure, the mild to moderate pain or discomfort can be relieved by applying cold packs to the vagina or using analgesics. We ensure the comfort of all our patients and do everything possible to minimise pain.

7. Are there any Risks/Complications Associated with Vaginal Rejuvenation?

All vaginal rejuvenation procedures aren’t proven to be safe or effective. There are some potential risks and complications, especially if there is surgical vaginal rejuvenation. These include pain, infection, bleeding, and scarring.   

8. How Long Should I Wait to Have Sex Again Following Vaginal Rejuvenation?

If you have undergone a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation like a laser vaginal tightening or O-shot treatment, you must wait for 3-5 days to resume sexual activities and even refrain from use of tampons or inserting anything inside your vagina until your vagina is fully recovered.

However, if you have undergone surgical vaginal rejuvenation, then you must abstain from sex for several weeks until your vagina has healed and stitches have dissolved. You can talk to our gynaecologist or surgeon about specific aftercare for vaginal rejuvenation.

9. How Long Do the Results of Vaginal Rejuvenation Last?

The longevity of the results depends upon the vaginal rejuvenation procedure chosen. The non-surgical procedures like Laser and Radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation provide temporary results and need to be repeatedly performed to get and maintain optimal results. On the other hand, the results of surgical vaginal rejuvenation last longer, but they are not guaranteed to last for a lifetime.

10. Should I get Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation done by an OBS/Gyn or by a Plastic Surgeon?

The only healthcare provider trustable for any cosmetic gynaecology procedure like vaginoplasty, vulvoplasty, monsplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and labiaplasty is a certified and highly trained cosmetic gynaecological surgeon in Hyderabad like Dr. Maalavika Appasani at Eternelle Aesthetics, who holds expertise in aesthetic surgeries and so far, has performed many intimate surgeries that have delivered optimal results in both appearance and function. Eternelle Aesthetics has top-notch gynaecologist surgeons with verified credentials, a wealth of experience, and good patient testimonials.

11. How Long Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Take?

The length of the vaginal rejuvenation procedure will depend upon the type of vaginal rejuvenation chosen. Typically, the procedure lasts for 1-2 hours.

12.  How much Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Cost?

The cost of vaginal rejuvenation varies for different people. It depends upon several factors including the type of procedure (surgical/non-surgical), the extensiveness of the treatment, locality, and if there is any insurance coverage. To know the cost of vaginal rejuvenation for you, contact our billing disk representatives.

13. Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation is not considered medically necessary rather it is a cosmetic service. Therefore, most insurance plans do not cover its cost. But there are exceptions such as vaginal trauma or injuries caused by childbirth.
