What Is a Perineoplasty?
A perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs and sometimes reconstructs the perineum, which is the area between your vagina and anus. It restores the structure and function of the perineal area. It also enhances sexual function, as it tightens the perineal muscles and tissues around it.
Important perineoplasty benefits include:
- Aesthetic improvement
- Relief from perineal pain
- Improved perineal function
Women sometimes combine it with procedures like a vaginoplasty. If you’re not satisfied with how your vagina looks or your perennial area is stretched, you may benefit from laser perineoplasty. With extensive experience in surgery and training in top-tier hospitals, Dr Felix Cohen at Cohen Medical Practice (CMP) is your top choice for this and other gynecological services such as:
- Annual gynecological exams
- Vaginal rejuvenation
- Birth control
- Fertility services
- Menopause care
- What Are the Perineoplasty Benefits?
Women who have vaginal laxity may benefit from a perineoplasty. Consider this procedure if you’re experiencing physical changes, pain or functional issues in your perennial area.
Common reasons to consider this procedure include:
- Childbirth trauma
- Perineal scar causing discomfort
- Pain during sex
- Pelvic pain and weakness
- Cosmetic concerns
A perineoplasty works on a perennial scar by removing scar tissues and reconstructing the area. This procedure reduces discomfort in the area and increases tissue alignment, which promotes healthy healing. It enhances the functionality and improves the appearance of the perineum, making you feel confident and ensuring your day-to-day activities are comfortable.
What Is the Perineoplasty Procedure Like?
The traditional approach for a perineoplasty starts with an initial consultation with your physician to discuss your goals, medical history and if anything can cause difficulty in the healing process. You can expect full recovery to take about six to 12 weeks.
The procedure of perineoplasty includes:
- Administering local or general anesthesia depending on the complexity of the procedure
- Making an incision in the perennial area to get access to the tissues
- Removing scar tissue or tissue that’s damaged
- Reshaping and tightening the muscles
- Closing with stitches or staples
Laser perineoplasty also addresses large perineal scars. The laser ensures the incisions are small and precise, reducing damage to surrounding tissues with less bleeding, smaller scars and quicker recovery compared to the traditional approach.
