How much does it cost for vaginal rejuvenation? Does medicare or medicaid cover the proceedure?

Vaginal Rejuvenation is considered a cosmetic procedure and as result, no insurance will cover it.
Good luck and best of health

Your story and concerns are in good company with almost ever other patient that undergoes vaginal rejuvenation and experiences an enormous boost in (sexual) self-confidence thereafter. Vaginal Rejuvenation (a.k.a. vaginoplasty) is performed to reconstruct (more or less tighten) the vaginal vault most commonly following natural vaginal birth. Again, like most other surgery, the experience of and “attention to detail” (a.k.a. compulsiveness) by the surgeon is the most important element to achieving a good result. Although there is some merit to Kegal exercises, many patients with laxity after natural vaginal birth fail to obtain sufficient tightening. For these patients, vaginoplasty, tightening of the vaginal vault muscles from the introits (opening) up to the cervix is typically the best solution. The procedure is commonly done on an outpatient basis in about an hour under either deep intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery is gradual but probably the worst for the first 4-5 days until swelling starts to reside then patients feel better each day thereafter. Sexual activity is usually refrained for about 6 weeks. In a study I was involved in back in 2009, 87% of vaginoplasty patients were satisfied with their results and had an improved sexual experience post-operatively. Typical (all inclusive) fee at my office/surgery center is $8500.  Unless you have an associated functional problem such as urinary incontinence, Medicare and Medicaid will not cover this. Glad to help.

Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to meet with you in person to make sure you're a candidate for this procedure. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to help you reach your goals and create a surgical plan for you!

Hi, this is a great question. The  normal cost for a vaginal rejuvenation is around $4500. Insurance does not usually cover this type of procedure because it  is considered cosmetic and not medically necessary.Best of luck!

There is a wide range for the average cost of vaginal rejuvenation procedures so it is hard to give you an appropriate range. For example, pricing depends on factors such as non-surgical laser procedures vs surgery, location of the surgery, extent of work needed, years of experience of the surgeon, etc. I recommend you consult in person with a couple of board certified plastic surgeons so they can examine you and give you a precise price estimate for what you need done. This will give you the best idea of what to expect in terms of price. Best of luck!
