Top 10 Beauty Treatments done by Celebrities Before the Oscars.
Vaginal Rejuvenation:
Repeated child births cause dilatation of muscles of vagina leading to
widening of vagina. Sexual pleasure is seriously affected by loss of normal tone
and elasticity of vagina and pelvic muscles. Vaginal tightening usually combined
with vulva rejuvenation to enhance aesthetic look of genitals, is one of the
fast growing segments in plastic surgery. More and more women are coming to
avail the facilities to enhance the genital aesthetics and sexual function as a
part of �mommy make over�. We have appreciated the comment by a husband-�she is
the same wife but a new woman� after these procedures.' Before you pass
judgement on this treatment, I want to tell you it is so worth it!' says Nurse
Jamie. It includes front-to-back skin tightening in the bikini area and removal
of ingrown hairs, skin tags and discoloration. 'I'm just saying, we do a lot of
these procedures,' she says.
Purpose of Vaginal Rejuvenation is to tighten the vagina to enhance sexual
pleasure (making the vagina like pre-marital status) In addition to tightening,
symptoms related to urination/defecation may also get relieved as cystocele and
rectocele are corrected.
Procedures of Vaginal Rejuvenation: Lax muscles and supporting tissue layers are
meticulously dissected out and repositioned in their normal position. Vectors of
muscles are restored gaining a good vaginal and perineal tone. Improved
voluntary tone and muscle strength leads to an improved self esteem.During this
procedure, overall rejuvenation can be achieved by combining any of the other
genital cosmetic surgery procedures like:
-
Fat grafting of labia majora
-
Mons lift/lipoinjection
-
Labia minora reduction surgery/labioplasty
-
Hymenoplasty/hymen repair/revirgination
-
Correction of cystocele/rectocele
-
G Spot Creation
Vaginoplasty is a procedure that aims to "tighten up" a vagina that's become
slack or loose from vaginal childbirth or aging. Some surgeons claim it can even
improve sensitivity -- a claim the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists (ACOG) has strongly challenged.
While it's true that vaginal tissues can stretch, surgically tightening the
vaginal tissue in itself cannot guarantee a heightened sexual response, since
desire, arousal, and orgasm are complex, highly personal responses, conditioned
as much by emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal factors as aesthetic ones. In
addition, sexual "sensitivity" doesn't automatically lead to more pleasure.
Labiaplasty, plastic surgery on the labia (the �lips" surrounding the vagina),
can be performed alone or with vaginoplasty. Surgery can be performed on the
labia major (the larger, outer vaginal lips), or the labia minor (the smaller,
inner vaginal lips). Labiaplasty changes the size or shape of the labia,
typically making them smaller or correcting an asymmetry between them.
In order to decide if you should consider vaginoplasty or labiaplasty, it�s
important to understand the difference between reconstructive surgery and
cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery improves the function of a body part, while cosmetic
surgery changes the aesthetics of essentially normal anatomy. You can think of
it like a nose job: a surgeon can restructure the interior nasal cavities to
help you breathe better or reshape the nose, just for the sake of appearances.
It's a critical distinction, because the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists evaluates surgeries and outcomes to fix functional problems, such
as urinary incontinence. But ACOG remains skeptical and cautious about vaginal
surgery due to its risks and lack of scientific data on safety and
effectiveness.
Some vaginoplasty procedures, for instance, were originally developed as
reconstructive surgeries to repair birth defects when the vagina was malformed,
too short, or absent (such as in vaginal agensis), so that a girl could grow up
to have normal urination, menstruation, and intercourse.
More recently, vaginoplasty has grown into a group of cosmetic surgeries
marketed as "vaginal rejuvenation" and "designer vagina" procedures. Plastic
surgeons and gynecologists are marketing their own array of designer
vaginoplasty surgeries, claiming the same benefits to women as with other
cosmetic surgeries, such as beauty, self-esteem, and confidence.
In fact, says ACOG, women's genitals naturally have a wide range of normal
appearances that are anatomically correct. There's no one "look" or right way
for a vagina and labia to be formed. Recently, laser technology has been
introduced by some surgeons for "vaginal rejuvenation" and other vaginal
surgeries to replace the traditional scalpel.
Individual doctors who are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgery
(ASPS) offer various "vaginal rejuvenation" procedures, but the ASPS itself does
not endorse particular surgeries and cautions that "vaginal rejuvenation"
surgery may need further scientific study to determine efficacy and success.
None of the cosmetic vaginoplasty surgeries are considered accepted, routine
procedures by ACOG.
examples of "vaginal rejuvenation" and "designer vagina" procedures:
"Revirgination." The hymen, the thin tissue at the entrance to the vagina,
normally "breaks" the first time a woman has intercourse. A surgery called a
hymenoplasty repairs the hymen to mimic its original, virginal state, before a
woman was sexually active. Because of the strong religious convictions
surrounding the importance of virginity in some cultures, this is among the most
controversial of cosmetic vaginal surgeries.
Clitoral unhooding. Some surgeons are marketing a procedure called clitoral
unhooding, which removes the tissue that normally covers the clitoris.
G-spot amplification. The front wall of the vagina, some experts believe, holds
the highly erotic G-spot, an especially sensitive stimulation site for female
arousal and orgasm. The G-spot amplification procedure involves injecting
collagen into the front wall of the vagina, theoretically to increase pleasure.
Risks of Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty
Women's long-term satisfaction and complication rates from vaginoplasty and
labiaplasty have not been tracked. Further, because these surgeries have not
been evaluated in peer-reviewed medical journals the way other surgeries have
been -- some procedures are proprietary and trademarked -- ACOG considers them
"unproven."
The risks of vaginal cosmetic surgery include:
-
Infection
-
Permanent changes in sensation
-
Ongoing pain
-
Scarring
The best advice for women considering vaginal surgery: talk openly with your
doctor about your feelings and concerns about your genitals, as well as your
expectations for surgery and any possible non-surgical options. Targeted Kegel-like
exercises can tone weak, loose vaginal muscles, for instance, and enhance sexual
arousal; and counseling can address issues of sexual self-esteem and confidence.
Costs vary widely: a combination vaginoplasty with labiaplasty can range from
$3,500 to $12,000. Most health insurance plans don't cover vaginoplasty,
labiaplasty, or other plastic surgery that's elective rather than medically
necessary. Only occasionally, according to ACOG, is labiaplasty medically
necessary, such as with labia hypertrophy (overgrowth) caused by excess
testosterone, congenital conditions, or chronic irritation.
