Cannot say enough about this amazing man and his...
WORTH IT
Cannot say enough about this amazing man and his incredible staff (Jackie, Brandy, Wendy and Andrea)...
This is a doctor whose field is about as hard as it gets in which to accomplish a scenario where it feels comfortable to have an appt..much less go through surgical options with frank discussion without cringing.
Dr. Aguirre is both world reknowned for his techniques AND manages to make (what would otherwise be mortifying) appointments a walk in the park.
He is easy going, matter-of-fact and debonair at the same time, so he appeals with a bedside manner that allows you to discuss your issues in a way that lets you feel confortable as a woman, but also reminds you of a male perspective. After all, when dealing with vaginas and sexuality..the issues are not just ours. They are the ONE body part that also can significantly affect our male partners!
I went in after waiting WAY too long..with physical issues that related to bladder leakage and advanced rectocele as well as significant uterine prolapse.
I ended up having surgery four weeks ago and after the initial (fairly excruciating) first week..had all that fixed and while he was at it... a vaginaplasty!
I cannot believe the quality-of-life difference I am experiencing already, despite post surgical discomfort. I sneeze and I dont pee!
Imagine that at the office..how nice!
I am not mortified at the bulge caused by a rectocele from a tough third pregnancy.
And (excuse the TMI)..but, although I am not cleared for sex yet, when I gingerly checked it out myself, I feel like I have never had children down there!!!
I am so excited to have sex again-as much for myself as my love!! He is going to be in awe of a man he has never met. Lol.
I didnt have money for the labiaplasty which was extra (and I definitely need also.)..so no pics..but that will go on my bucket list for sure.

Has it stretched out yet? Mine has not. Still hurts during and after sex. We don't have a lot yet because he's out of town Did he repair the vagina walks?
August 28, 2015
I haven't had sex yet:-) So I am not sure. I will say that i used a tampon for the first time since hitting the six week mark last week and even that irritated it a bit and made it swollen. So I am going to be super gentle when I do have sex. He did repair the vaginal walls on both sides..because I had significant rectocele and cystocele (you can see both in the pics above)...so I had sutures up and down both sides. Thinking that's why at 6 weeks it's still a bit sore.

I would like extend a heartfelt thank you for posting your review. At 40 having suffered embarrassing after effects of pushing out a 10 lb baby 10 years ago, I gave been struggling with making a decision. After reading your post and seeing for myself the results, I can finally feel good about having this surgery. Thank you.

You are welcome. It is not east stuff to talk about but at such a (relatively) young age with a lot of years ahead of me to enjoy sex as well as waaay too young to be dealing with incontinence issues etc, I finally decided to go for it.
The rest of me is very youthful, so it feels great to have my womanly parts feel like they match up..instead of like they belong to a much older woman.

I just tried to see where you were located and couldn't tell but if you are within a couple hours flight from Denver I cannot recommend Dr. Aguirre highly enough , along with his incredible staff, for these procedures.

How much was the vaginalplasty?
October 2, 2015
I actually don't know the price for it is since I had it in conjunction with surgery that was nonelective and was covered by insurance.

I took had a prolapse of my uterus. It was stage 3 . I had delt with this problem since my youngest was born 20 years ago.(literally falling out of my vagina ) I had a hysterectomy with vaginal repair. My uterus was 6lbs (not normal size) so my vagina was open to the size of 5 fingers. My Dr took it to 3 fingers. I am only 4 weeks post op. I can't wait to try it out either!

Got a complimentary microdermabrasion with Brandy from my surgeon!
They had given me the gift certificate with my surgery package. Brandy, too has great technique, and has vast knowledge of the skin. She is their (stunning) resident nurse aesthetician (she also does botox and laser treatments,etc.)
What a lovely post-surgery bonus (especially after hanging out in baggy sweatpants for five weeks during the healing phase!) My face is glowing thanks to this amazing practice now too!
They are a full service place- they take care of your insides and out.:-). I am a fan for life.

6 Wk. Post Op- My Vagina is So Tiny!!!! SO THANKFUL to Dr. Aguirre. He has changed my life forever!! Now I cannot wait to get l
I almost cringed when I finally saw the before pics. (I apologize in advance for the scariness.)
This man is a magician. Even though I have yet to have the labiaplasty portion done, he has still managed to make my womanly parts look and feel perfect again.
I had a LOT more than just cosmetic issues going as as y'all will see...so its hard to even illustrate how much he has changed the size and texture of my vagina...But oh my gosh...I will try my best to explain with captions what you are looking at. ONE of his fingers fits in comfortably...TWO is okay...but slightly uncomfortable..:)
It's like being a virgin again at 40 years old. Unbelievable!!!
Cannot wait to finish it up and do his work justice by doing the labiaplasty when I can afford it.. You can see in these pictures, it is beyond ridiculously in need of his gorgeous work.
(He is one of the few surgeons who also does clitoral hood reduction, so if you care about having optimal sexual experiences afterward, it is the way to go.. (Who wants to have to move skin off the clitoris to make it "available", whether pleasuring yourself or when your partner is doing so..?
(Sorry to be so blunt, but this is a forum in which can safely be such.)

Thank you for being so brave and sharing your personal photos with the community—pictures say a thousand words and your photos speak loudly. Your results are outstanding, I think that the term "40 year old virgin" is very fitting. You must be so excited and feel so revived. Please keep us posted, and never be sorry for being blunt, this is what RealSelf is all about, a safe place where women can share real experiences and see real results. Again, thank you for being so open and up front, you are helping thousands of women researching this surgery. :)

You are welcome! He deserves the credit..so it's important to show explicitly how detailed he is. (That said..if we had to show our faces..i wouldn't be so brave. lol)
Dr. Aguirre is highly detail-oriented and cares as much about making the end-results be focused not only on the female, but any male partner who will be involved. Sexuality is so important to mental and physical well being (in my opinion) that this is a magical procedure, because your boyfriend or husband can receive so much pleasure from the outcome!! He really tries to find out what THEY want to experience too. Additionally, on my case, he even went so far as to candidly ask the approximate size of my guy. He can be as aggressive as you want in tightening the vagina..but he also doesnt want it to be painful during intercourse afterward for his patients. I thought that was such an insightful approach. When we planned the surgery, at the time, I told him my guy was not small..so we were able to be aggressive without going too far, I believe.
I just hope those who look at the pictures understand the difference between a vaginaplasty and a labiaplasty.
(I have clearly NOT had that procedure- the labiaplasty- done yet..)
So I do not want to discredit his gorgeous labiaplasty work (by accidentally having those who see these results assume that these photos also reflect the end-result of THAT procedure.)
I will be even more excited to post THOSE pictures when I feel my girl looks as pretty on the outside.:-)
On his website..those pictures are even more astounding.

I agree, sexuality is an integral part in sustaining healthy, loving relationships and also for individual well-being. I have learned so much from your experience, I never realized just how much the doctor could tighten the vagina, I would have thought there was "only so much" they could do -- interesting.
August 24, 2015
Yes. He is the only urogynecologist I know of actually who specializes in this cosmetic procedure.
September 18, 2015
I had this procedure done with one of his teachers, Dr. Alinsod. Fantastic results. Came all the way from Europe, as it is unknown there!
October 27, 2015
Yes, he is amazing. Surgeons fly from all over the world to train with him! Are you hapoy with your results? :-)
August 24, 2015
Wow what a difference! It is amazing what can be done surgically these days. May I ask how much this procedure costs?
August 29, 2015
I think you are a great person for sharing these pics which will help other women to make a decision.
Congratulations on a successful surgery, so glad that you are feeling great.
Since labiaplasty is on your bucket list, I welcome you to visit the community to check out reviews, videos, and join in some discussions.
Do you have any recovery tips to share with the community?
Oh yes, I agree, lost of rest and no heavy lifting. I went back to work way to early and ended up popping a stitch, my job entailed lifting boxes and on my feet all day.
