Vaginal Repair
Vaginoplasty/Vaginal Repair is a reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic procedure to tighten the vigina. During the delivery of a baby, the vaginal wall and sourounding tissues becomes streched. After delivery vagine may not return to its original structure and function. Vaginal rejuvenation combined with labiaplasty can restore and enhance the vagina’s cosmetic appearance and function.
Labiaplasty is a vaginoplastic surgery technique for reducing the size the genital labia — either the majora or the minora — which are any of the four folds of tissue of the vulva. It can be performed as a discrete surgery, or as a subordinate procedure within a vaginoplasty.
Hymen Reconstruction is the surgical restoration of the hymen. The term comes from the Greek words hymen meaning membrane, and raphe meaning suture. It is also known as hymenoplasty
