Perineoplasty in Dallas, TX

Whether due to childbirth, obesity, or a number of other issues, the area between the vagina and anus — known as the perineum — can become damaged. This usually creates a tear, leaving an overly large vaginal orifice. The side effects of this include irritation, self-consciousness, and reduced sexual enjoyment. At Dallas Vaginal Rejuvenation, we offer a procedure known as perineoplasty, which has the ability to tighten the area of the perineum and narrow the vaginal opening. Additionally, it can remove scar tissues, bulges, and unwanted skin. Meet with Dr. Aimee Nguyen at our office in Dallas, TX, today to discuss the many ways perineoplasty could benefit you.

Usually, we recommend perineoplasty for women who have torn their perineum during the process of natural childbirth. The need for this usually stems from tissue and muscles in the area being overly stretched out of not properly sewn back together. Additionally, perineoplasty can be ideal for women who are overweight or have even lost a large amount of weight. While obesity puts extra strain on the area of the perineum, weight loss can leave the skin saggy and the muscles droopy. The aging process can also cause many of these same effects.

At Dallas Vaginal Rejuvenation, we perform perineoplasty to help women regain comfort and confidence. Benefits of this procedure include:

• Improved vaginal muscle tone
• Enhanced sexual satisfaction
• Relief of chronic discomfort or pain during intercourse
• Correction of vaginal laxity or looseness
• Decrease in urinary incontinence
• Increased self-esteem and confidence

As an added bonus, perineoplasty can also provide aesthetic improvements to the appearance of the external genitalia, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Perineoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure using either general or local anesthesia. An incision in the shape of a 'v' will be made on the posterior vaginal wall, which will allow us to remove scar tissue, bulges, unwanted skin, and other forms of damage to the perineum. Once this is complete, we will tighten the muscles and stitch everything back together very carefully. In total, perineoplasty can be performed in about an hour. Many patients choose to combine this procedure with a vaginoplasty in order to tighten the vaginal canal which starts at $7,500. **Price depends all on tissue that needs to be removed, anesthesia(by the hour) and how long the surgery will take**  Afterward, we'll need to monitor your recovery for a short time, but you'll be free to return home once we've seen that your body has responded positively to the procedure.

We always tell patients to expect a recovery time of about 6 – 8 weeks after their surgery. During this time, there are a few rules patients should follow. We recommend patients avoid heavy lifting for at least the first three weeks. This also includes activities such as bicycling, horseback riding, and stretching. Also, patients should refrain from sexual activity for at least the first six weeks. Lastly, patients should not use tampons until the area has fully healed. These precautions simply ensure that no accidental damage is caused to the treatment area while it heals.

Most of our patients are able to return to their place of work within only a few days. Pain levels are typically considered to be minimal and can often be treated using over-the-counter pain medication, though prescriptions are available if it is deemed necessary. Some patients notice some minor bleeding or discharge during the recovery process, but this is normal, and there is no reason for concern. 

Does perineoplasty hurt?

A perineoplasty procedure can be performed with general or local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort. Some patients may experience some minor pain during the first few days of recovery, but this can be managed with medications. Dr. Nguyen can also provide detailed aftercare instructions to reduce any potential discomfort.

What if I get pregnant after perineoplasty?

Perineoplasty does not affect your ability to get pregnant or carry a pregnancy to full term. However, our Dallas, TX, professionals suggest waiting at least 6-12 months after the procedure before attempting to conceive, as this allows enough time for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications.

Does perineoplasty cause scars?

We understand that some women are concerned about scarring. Perineoplasty typically does not cause visible scars, as the incisions made during the procedure are carefully placed and closed using fine sutures. If you do experience scarring, our team at Dallas Vaginal Rejuvenation can provide recommendations to improve their appearance.
