I had 3 vaginal births my youngest is now 9. Why does my vaginal opening look meaty and my urthera shows now. What can I do to fix this and what is the recovery.
Answer: You can use a Vaginoplasty and perineoplasty after childbirth Aging and childbirth is a bitch. Things look congested and all stretched out with both. You are actually not bad, I’ve seen a lot worse. If you are done with childbirth, and looking to improve your sex life, improve the appearance of the opening, then you would benefit from a vaginoplasty (which is tightening the length of the canal making sex more pleasurable for most) and perineoplasty (to make the opening not so gapping open and restore the perineal muscle). You happen to have an enlarged labia minora and excessive clitoral hood tissue. It’s not “abnormal” as many have the same. And many are happy and live with it. But if you are referring to the labia being “meaty” and you’re looking for a more tucked in look, then you’d benefit from a labiaplasty with a clitoral hood reduction. All the procedures put together can take between 2-3 hours, but a few months later, it is highly satisfactory. The labia and hood part of the surgery isn’t too bad and most would return to work within the week. But the vaginoplasty and perineoplasty requires a bit more down time. When done correctly, the muscles are all put back together and it can feel tense! Most of my patients find the intensity for 7-10 days. After that they usually start to resume work and day to day life. I hope that helps you answer your concerns and look for a surgeon that does all the procedures if you’re staying in your location. I can’t tell you how silly it is when I have a patient in consultation who had a labiaplasty elsewhere and then comes to me to do the clitoral hood. Or I’ll have a patient who will have a labiaplasty and hood reduction elsewhere but then come a few weeks later to me for vaginoplasty and perinoplasty. It can all be done at the same time. Make sure you find a qualified surgeon who can do it all! Good luck.

Answer: Restoring Vaginal Appearance and Function After Childbirth: Options and Recovery To address concerns regarding changes in the vaginal area after multiple vaginal births, several options can be considered: Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve muscle tone and support in the vaginal area. This non-surgical approach may alleviate some concerns about appearance and function. Vaginoplasty: This surgical procedure is aimed at tightening the vaginal muscles and surrounding tissue. It can help restore the vaginal opening's appearance and function. Recovery typically involves a few weeks of downtime, with complete healing expected in a few months. Labiaplasty: If the appearance of the labia is a concern, labiaplasty can be performed to reshape the labial tissue. Recovery is generally faster than vaginoplasty, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. Non-Surgical Options: Treatments such as laser therapy or radiofrequency can stimulate collagen production and enhance vaginal tightness and appearance without surgery. These procedures typically have minimal downtime. Urethral Concerns: If the urethra is more prominent, it may be due to pelvic floor relaxation. Consultation with a urogynecologist may be beneficial to assess and address any functional issues alongside cosmetic concerns. It is important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified gynecologist or plastic surgeon specializing in female genital procedures to discuss your specific concerns, evaluate your condition, and determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
