Vaginoplasty
“I started my vaginal renewal surgical experience early in my career. There were a number of women from Jordan, Kenya and Sudan that lived in the community where my practice was located. They had experienced female genital mutilation as young girls. Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is the ritual removal of some or all of the external genitalia. These patients were frequently requesting repair of their external genitalia. It was my privilege to be able to restore their anatomy. This gave me a unique opportunity to experience what it means to a woman to gain confidence and comfort in the appearance of her genitalia.” – Dr. Michelle Jones Singer
With age and child birth, a woman’s vaginal region can become lax and lose some of the appearance and elasticity present previously. Some women are simply unhappy with the appearance of their outer labia. Vaginal Renewal Surgery, or “Vaginal Reconstructive Surgery”, can improve the appearance of the outer areas as well as tighten up the inner regions. Overall, this can improve your sex life, decrease pain, and improve cosmetic appearance.
Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is not an aesthetic procedure – it is a functional procedure involving the tightening of the inner and outer muscles and structures of the vagina enhancing vaginal muscle tone, strength, and control. While the details of this procedure will be discussed with Dr. Jones Singer during your consultation, it is important to understand the primary goal of vaginal tightening is to enhance sexual gratification for the patient. This is achieved by reducing the external diameter of the vagina and tightening the internal muscles to a patient’s specifications, thereby increasing friction experienced during intercourse.
The surgery can be done as an out-patient procedure, with minimal scarring, minimal pain, and a fast recovery. At COSMETIC SURGERY OF INDIANAPOLIS you can rest assured that your doctor will have the time to get to know you as an individual, and address your medical concerns completely.

Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty, or labialplasty, is a one to two hour surgical procedure designed to sculpt the external vaginal structures by reducing and/or reshaping long or uneven labia. Childbirth, the aging process, and the effects of gravity may all erode the beauty of the female genitalia including the labia minora, labia majora, and perineum. Long labia minora may interfere with exercise or intercourse, and may cause embarrassment for some when wearing certain clothes, such as bathing suits, leggings, or jeans which may call attention to any bulge. Over time the labia majora may relax and sag, while the perineum may show signs of scarring from an episiotomy or laceration incurred during childbirth.
Reasons for Labiaplasty

Unhappy with appearance due to size, asymmetry, pigmentation or length
-
Self conscious due to appearance
-
Irritation with prolonged sitting or walking
-
Pain/pulling/discomfort/irritation with intercourse or certain activities

A Labiaplasty is a procedure that reduces the size of your labia. This will help with that bulge and allow you to wear the clothes that you chose.
Urine is sterile so you will not get an infection. The urine does sting the incision sometimes so I recommend using the peri-bottle that I supply for you to use post operatively. You simply fill the bottle with water and squirt it on to your labia as you are urinating. This helps with the burning and keeping the area clean. You need to gently dry the labia after using the water on the labia.
The first thing to do is to contact your surgeon and have an examination. The first weeks after a Labiaplasty can be very frightening because of swelling and bruising. This is the recovery healing phase. It will resolve and you will see the final results in about 6-8 weeks. Don’t panic. Continue to follow your surgeon’s instructions and evaluate the results in 6-8 weeks.
f you are not happy with the appearance of your labia and it inhibits you from feeling confident about yourself, then you should consider having a Labiaplasty. Consult an experienced Cosmetic Gynecologist and have a thorough exam. Discuss your concerns and make a decision that best suits you.
Hymenoplasty
A hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure that is done to repair a hymen that is torn usually from premarital sex. It is usually done for cultural or religious reasons. It is done to make the vaginal opening appear virginal.
The hymen is a thin membrane that surrounds the opening of the vagina.
The hymen is usually broken or torn with sexual intercourse. It can however be torn with insertion of a tampon or with insertion of sex toys into the vagina. Rarely it is torn with physical activity but this is rare.
If nothing is inserted inside your vagina or it will last indefinitely.
Not every woman will bleed when the hymen is torn. This is why relying on bleeding after the first time a woman has intercourse is not an indication of virginity.
The recovery time for a hymenoplasty is 6-8 weeks. Remember not all women will bleed after the first sexual encounter even if she has never had intercourse before.
This rarely happens. If you had an accident while riding the bike and feel across the sissy bar in the exact spot of the vulva it could possible happen. This seldom occurs. If you are concerned you can have an examination to confirm.
I advise you have an exam by a physician that can let you know for certain.
