A Labiaplasty (often known as Labial Reduction surgery) is a surgical procedure that reshapes and reduces the labia Minora/Majora, the inner and outer of the ‘lips’ that surround the opening of the vagina. Women can have Cosmetic Gynaecology to change the way their labia and surrounding vaginal tissue look with the help of Vaginoplasty. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your genitalia, or if it is causing you embarrassment or discomfort, book in for a consultation with one of our experienced nurses or surgeons to see how this surgery could help you regain your body confidence.

Cosmetic Gynaecology, especially Vaginal Tightening & Reshaping (Vaginoplasty) surgery, has become increasingly popular over the last few years, particularly with new mums as the vaginal muscles can be left loose and weak after child birth. Some women experience specific problems, such as lack of sensation and satisfaction during intercourse. The Vaginal Tightening and Refashioning procedure improves the way your vagina looks, feels and functions; and can have dramatic results in terms of restoring your confidence and self-esteem. Vaginoplasty can also be performed alongside a number of other procedures, such as a labiaplasty.

Sometimes during a difficult birth, damage can be caused to the area between the vagina and the rectum. When a bad tear has occurred or there has been poor stitching, the area can look disfigured when healed. This can affect confidence and cause discomfort during intercourse. In some cases it can lead to weakness in the pelvic floor and lax muscles, presenting problems in urinary function and, in worst cases, can even cause incontinence. The good news is that surgery can make a massive difference to the way you look and feel, restoring both the cosmetic appearance of the perineum as well as the muscle tone deep in the pelvic floor and vaginal muscles. Surgery to improve the way this area looks and functions can be highly rewarding, allowing you to feel that things are back to normal shortly afterwards.

The hymen is a thick membranous layer of tissue which encircles the inside of the vaginal entrance and allows the escape of menstrual blood. While some hymens are so elastic that they do not tear even during intercourse, we know that for most women the hymen is usually torn at the lower part during first intercourse, after tampon insertion, or through some exercises. Hymen repair is often performed under local anaesthetic with sedation, but can also be performed under general anaesthetic if a patient prefers. This surgery is minimally invasive and is a day case procedure. The hymen has a secondary layer that can be sown up to cover the torn skin. As it grafts together once more, the hymen will appear intact. If for any reason this is not possible then a new hymen can be created from the lip of the vagina. Although many women are too embarrassed to raise the issue with a surgeon, the good news is that an effective, straightforward solution exists to correct this condition and can be treated discreetly.
