Why Choose Vaginoplasty?

 

Childbirth is not the only cause of vaginal loosening or slacking, women have also turned to vaginoplasty as a solution to reverse the effects of aging. Surgeons believe that undergoing vaginoplasty surgery can also improve sensitivity although the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists doesn’t find this claim to be accurate.

 

The Truth About Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty

 

Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty have broadened into a group of various cosmetic surgeries known as “vaginal rejuvenations” or “designer vagina” surgery. In place of the scalpel, surgeons have recently started using laser technology as an alternative to traditional surgery. Here are examples of “vaginal rejuvenation.”

 

  1. Revirgination is when the thin tissue, known as the hymen, at the entrance of your vagina is repaired to its original state.
  2. Clitoral unhooding removes the tissue that typically covers the clitoris.
  3. G-spot amplification is when the front walls of your vagina, commonly known as the “G-spot” is injected with collagen to increase sensitivity and pleasure.
