阴道整型的

阴道整型的 is a procedure that can be done under either local anesthesia or, particularly if combined with another procedure, 在全身麻醉下. The goal of the procedure is to reduce the inner, non-hair-bearing lips of the female genitalia so that they don't hang below the hair-bearing labia majora. Women opt for surgery for a variety of reasons, including pain from twisting and tugging of the labia when riding a bike or during intercourse; itching and irritation; and self-consciousness.

The most common type of labiaplasty is the trim procedure, in which the extra tissue is removed and sewn up directly. 下一个流行的是楔形手术, which maintains a natural border after a pie-shaped piece of tissue has been removed. 的额外折叠 阴蒂罩也可以缩小 同时.

恢复期一般为一周, with resumption of wearing tampons or having intercourse after four to six weeks.

阴唇majoraplasty

A 阴唇majoraplasty can be done when the hair-bearing labia majora are too large or hang down. 在某些情况下, 当脂肪组织萎缩时, a small amount of fat can be transferred from another area of the body after liposuction. This procedure can also be done under local general anesthesia, 取决于要移除的数量.

阴道成形术

分娩后, 女性可能会抱怨阴道松弛, sometimes to the point that a tampon falls out, and this can contribute to sexual dysfunction. A 阴道成形术 brings the separate muscles together, and extra skin is removed. While the procedure can be done under local anesthesia, many opt to have it done 在全身麻醉下.

Recovery from a 阴道成形术 is one to two weeks, with no tampons or intercourse for eight weeks.

Monsplasty

Some women struggle with a bulge of excess skin and fat in the upper part of the hair-bearing part of their vulva. The bulge can result in women feeling too embarrassed to wear a bathing suit or tight pants. A monsplasty can reduce the extra tissue by removal of skin, direct removal of fat and/or liposuction. 这取决于被切除的组织的数量, this procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia. Recovery takes about a week, with physical activity restrictions for up to six weeks.
