Vaginal Aesthetic Surgery

The First Step: Choosing a Surgeon You Can Trust

Selecting a plastic surgeon certified by the Mexican Board of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery and a full member of the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery is crucial. These credentials ensure your surgeon is qualified and up-to-date, allowing you to proceed with confidence.

Who Is a Candidate?

The ideal candidates for vaginal aesthetic surgery are women who are dissatisfied with the size and/or shape of their vaginal lips or pubic area and seek improvement, not perfection, in their physical appearance.

Before deciding on this procedure:

• Reflect on your expectations and discuss them openly.
• If you are physically healthy and have realistic goals, you are likely an ideal candidate.

What You Need to Know

Vaginal aesthetic procedures aim to improve the size and shape of the female genital area for various reasons, such as:

• Enhancing the contour of the pubic region, which may feel disproportionately large.
• Reducing the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips).
• Balancing asymmetrical labia.
• Reconstructive purposes following one or more childbirths.

Planning Your Surgery

Vaginal aesthetic surgery is highly personalized to each patient's needs. During your initial consultation:

• Your overall health will be evaluated.
• The most suitable surgical techniques for your case will be explained.
• You will discuss potential medical conditions, such as smoking or hypertension, that could affect surgical outcomes.
• You will receive detailed information about the procedure, anesthesia, surgical location, risks, and costs.

It is essential to communicate your expectations openly. I will respond just as frankly, providing you with an honest assessment of your options, risks, and limitations.

The Procedure

In most cases:

• Vaginal aesthetic procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation.
• The estimated duration is 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Patients are usually discharged the same day unless health conditions such as hypertension or diabetes require additional monitoring.

Recovery

Post-surgery:

• You will be able to walk within hours after the procedure.
• Discomfort will be managed with prescribed medications.
• You may experience a mild burning sensation in the genital area, which will gradually subside.
• Most patients return to daily activities within 3–5 days, depending on the nature of their work or routine.
• Your genital area will be sensitive to direct stimulation for 2–3 weeks. Avoid excessive physical contact for 3–4 weeks.

Your New Look

For most women, vaginal aesthetic surgery is a satisfying and empowering experience, helping them appreciate their enhanced appearance.

Regular check-ups are recommended to monitor healing and address any potential issues promptly.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo vaginal aesthetic surgery is deeply personal, and what matters most is how you feel about the results. If your expectations are realistic, the procedure will likely be a success.
