49, Mother of 3, Vagioplasty Was a Game-changer. Feeling Like New!
I am writing to support the vaginoplasty I had with Dr. Lau. It has been 6 weeks and I have made a full recovery. The green light has been given to resume normal activities, so I am excited to discover the results post-surgery.
The decision to have this procedure was made after much research via the internet and meeting to discuss the difference between the non-invasive procedure of Thermiva versus Vaginoplasty. Honestly, there’s no comparison. Hands down, Thermiva would have done nothing for me. I attended the appointment to discuss the option but soon realized it would not provide the true changes I was looking for ie: reducing the size of the opening and improving elasticity and tightness of the vagina.
After meeting with Dr. Lau, an extremely warm and friendly physician, I had confidence that all would go well. He assured me that this particular procedure would do everything I expected it to. I had a tummy-tuck 12 years ago, so I was familiar with surgery, recovery, etc. I would say this particular procedure is similar to a tummy tuck in that stiches are applied, and muscle tissue is cinched in a way as to make the vagina similar in strength and elasticity to what it once was, prior to giving birth to a singleton and twins. My first daughter was 9 lbs 6 oz! A lot of changes were made to my body to accommodate her birth.
I had both forceps and an episotomy.
I was stressed out about the “shot” given in the vaginal region as part of the surgical process. After reading a variety of reviews this was my biggest concern. No worries though with Dr. Lau…I was given a Valium-type pill on the morning of surgery. Within an hour, while watching a movie with headphones, he applied what felt like a cool gel to the exterior parts of my vagina. Within approximately 15-20 minutes he proceeded to give me some shots of what I think was something like lidocaine to the interior and an exterior portion of my vagina.
The worst sensation I felt was a slight pinch. By the time I arrived home I was able to rest the remainder of the day with only minor pain medication needed since the numbing agent worked quite affectively at not allowing me to experience much pain.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Lau, his staff, and the procedure. I am very happy with the decision to have this procedure.
