Vaginoplasty Treatment in Baltimore, MD

Vaginoplasty is a procedure that is used to either construct or reconstruct the vaginal area. This procedure is done for health reasons, as well as for cosmetic purposes and an increase in sexual satisfaction. Vaginoplasty can also be referred to as a vaginal rejuvenation procedure. This genital procedure offers many benefits for the patient, from tightening, which helps with lax muscles in the vagina, to cosmetic techniques for the skin to give you back your self-confidence.

All costs and any possible financing options will be discussed prior to treatment at your personal consultation. Treatment and costs vary from patient to patient and are dependent exclusively on the type of treatment selected.

Vaginoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia. The surgery will begin with creating incisions in discreet locations on the sides of the vagina and then gently tightening the muscle tissue beneath the skin. The vaginal opening will also be reduced in size by removing a portion of the vaginal lining (mucosa). If you plan to combine your vaginoplasty with a labiaplasty, Dr. Dinc will perform the labiaplasty surgery afterward. Following your procedure, Dr. Dinc will carefully close the incisions for optimal results and minimal scarring.

In most circumstances, you will be able to return to seated work in about a week with a full return to daily activities at around three months. After recovering from the surgical procedure, you can expect a renewed vaginal opening that looks and feels slimmer and tighter. Some patients even report heightened sensitivity and increased friction during intercourse.

Most insurance companies do not typically cover vaginoplasty or labiaplasty if it is sought out for cosmetic purposes as an elective procedure rather than a medically necessary procedure. Reasons that vaginoplasty can be deemed medically necessary include chronic irritation, congenital conditions, and labial overgrowth.
