“Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation”

Hello! I am "on the books" to get this done within the next 2 weeks. What was your recovery like? I am also getting a laser perineoplasty in addition to the LVR...I am only able to take one week off work! Aaaaah!!! thanks for any tips, etc. you can provide!

I had the lvr surgery done 2 weeks ago and I was at work 2 days later. I have a sedentary job so I was fine.. on a scale from 1-10 of pain 10 being the high I would give the pain a 2. I am excited and scared at the same time.. when the 6 weeks is up I will post my results here. My surgery didn't take long at all.. the worst thing to me was the catheter they had to leave in over night. Good Luck!

I went back today for my 2 week check up and yes with the LVR surgery lifting your bladder is automatic... Hope this helps!

I had the LVR surgery on August 14th and am now 4-week postop. I also had a laser perineoplasty and had a few anal tags removed, so the recovery is more dramatic than the two episiotomies I had with my children! I will also post on my results...I still have stitches in between perineum and my vagina introitus...I can see 3 distinct stitches. There is a slight pulling feeling, and the area where the stitches are exposed has felt raw for a month.

have your stitches come out yet.. and did you have some bleeding and discharge afterwards?

Hello! I still have my stitches and constant soreness at the stitche-sites. I will be 5-weeks postop tomorrow, & bcuz of soreness, my doc is going to take a look at me to check on progress. I will *say* that I cannot imagine having anything *down there* a week from tomorrow, when I will be 6 weeks! There is no freaking way! So, I will report back after my appt tomorrow, 9/18. Honeymocha, when do your stitches come out....and/or are you released? Do you feel ready???

My 6 weeks was up last weekend and my doctor told me the stitches would dissolve. I can't make it back down there until 10/9/09 for my 6 week check up though but I have a little confession to make I me and my guy had sex and boy let me tell you I thought I was ready but I wasn't, we had to use alot of lube. It was enjoyable for him not so for me. Afterwards he told me that I had never been that tight and if I was in that much pain we should wait another 2 or 3 weeks before having sex again, and I'm thinking more like 2 or 3 months. Initially I'm glad I had this surgery but I'm thinking my body needs a little more than 6 weeks to properly heal :}

I am having this procedure done 10/29/09. I am curious how you are doing. Thankyou for sharing, it really helps. I wish you all the best of luck!

can any one tell me the name ofd a good doc for vaginal reguvination i will go any where and the cost

I just wanted to update that my surgery was a complete success. The best $8000 I ever spent. My sex life is so much better. Any of you that are thinking about having this surgery please do it, do it for yourself. My guy always wants to do it now I have to turn him down sometimes lol... I love it. Karen Hamilton in Bellevue, Washington (state) did mine. She is great, patient and caring. I recommend her if you're on the west coast. Good luck!

I had the procedure done 3/8/10. It’s only been a week and I still have to sit down very slowly. I can feel a difference and tempted to just put my finger down there to check out the results myself. But I’m scared and plan to wait until the 6 week period. I agree the catheter was the most uncomfortable part. The procedure was done fairly quickly but I must admit I felt each time the doctor inserted the needle to numb the area. My procedure was done with local anesthesia and cost 2 thousand. I wish I could afford Dr. Matlock and hope it turns out … well I just hope it’s tight. Anyway, I’m single and some lucky fella doesn’t know what I have in store for him.

I THINK IM IN BIG TROUBLE!! I had vaginal rejuvination and labioplasty mid March and I have had so many problems Im exausted at this point and feel more like a painintheass patient then a nicely recovering one. My problem is that my "dissolvable" stitches are not dissolving. I went back to my Dr. 3 weeks ago because I was in so much pain and he snipped a few on my lips. Then had to go back the next week for him to take out about 7 more that were making me swell so severly that all I could do is lay still(not good when you have 4 kids and own a business). I was screaming in the operatory b/c it hurt sooo bad. It was like someone was puncturing my clitoris...I almost passed out. I had to put my hands over my own mouth. Then I had to go back a few days later b/c the cut from my vagina to my bottom felt like it was ripping...so he cut a few more of the stitches at the opening of my V to relieve the tearing. He told me that my stitches were not dissolving and he had never seen it before. I think they are called Vicerol stitches. Im again going back in 2 days from now b/c the tearing feeling that's happening between the V and A is almost unbearable. I wait as long as I can in the day to take a Vicodin but at a point the pain is too much. I DO have a very very high pain tolerance as well. Im crying as I write this b/c I have so many stitches in me, inside my lips,anus,vagina that are not dissolving that Im wondering if I will have to go through this all again to rectify. I now also have this thumbnail piece of skin on my anus that I guess he left??? after tightning me down there? Im exausted and he does not seem to be listening to me. Oh, forgot to add this....the inner lips that he reduced...the stitches were put on them like a loop (in out in out or in and over the top)all down them and also on the inside...the stitches that my body would not dossolve decided to keep them and they cut into my lips from top to bottom and the skin healed that way....now they look scalloped!!! Is their a Dr. out there who can give me some insight?? There is no other Dr. like this in my area and I need a second opinion asap! If anyone else has gone through any part of my drama....pls let me know. Thanks for listening:(
