A: Vaginoplasty involves several procedures, including vaginal tightening, whether it's a full or mini procedure. Additionally, it may involve other surgeries such as perineoplasty, labia majora apexi, labia minora reduction, cleft narrowing, or hood reduction. However, fibroids are unrelated growths that typically affect the uterus, leading to gynecological issues. To offer accurate guidance, it's crucial to specify the particular vaginoplasty procedure you’re considering. Regarding fibroids, it's advisable to seek consultation with a gynecologist. If vaginal tightening is desired and a robotic hysterectomy is planned, it's recommended to address fibroids beforehand to mitigate potential complications during their removal through the vaginal route.

A: Absolutely, the P-SHOT treatment can still be administered on individuals who have had penile implants. This treatment involves superficial injections that are administered to the front part of the penis, around the glans penis and at the base of the penis, avoiding the implant areas. It's designed to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in that region, which improves blood flow. This enhancement in blood supply can lead to improvements in the size, girth, quality of erections, and sexual stamina of the penis.

A: Hymenoplasty can be done again after a previous surgery as long as there's still some hymenal tissue left at the vaginal opening. But, if there's not enough tissue left to work with, redoing the procedure might not be an option. It's important to note that hymenoplasty cannot be performed more than once if the surgery has already taken place. Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

A: After a hymenoplasty, it's crucial for patients to be cautious with their activities. I advise against any actions that involve pulling, pushing, or heavy physical exercise. It's essential to rest and take things slow, especially during the first three to five days post-surgery. Planning the procedure two to three weeks ahead of any anticipated intimate activity is advisable. If needed, patients can arrange a follow-up visit to our office just before any planned intimacy to make sure the sutures are still in place and the area has fully healed. Additionally, it's important to avoid inserting anything into the vagina, including tampons, right after the surgery. Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

A: Hymenoplasty is not a permanent procedure which repairs the hymen caused from intimacy or other forms of physical trauma. The sutures that are used during the procedure repairs the tear until the person engages in intimacy again. This causes the tear to reappear and result in bleeding which indicates an intact hymen. When it comes to the cost and quality of care compared to other doctors, it's tough to say without knowing the specific skills and experience of the surgeon you're considering. Prices and quality can vary widely based on the surgeon's expertise in these procedures. Essentially, the cost often reflects the quality of the surgery you can expect - you usually get what you pay for. Hope this helps and best of luck to you!
