Female
Genital Surgical procedures are becoming increasingly common
in the UK & worldwide. Mills & Mills
Medical Group offers Labia Reduction & Vaginal
Tightening & Reshaping (Vaginoplasty),
as well as Hymenoplasty.
You may have read about this or seen TV programmes on
this subject. In the media it is sometimes referred to in
short-hand as “designer
vaginas”.
These surgical procedures enable you to change the shape of
your labia as well as combat vaginal relaxation, which happens
when the vagina loses its tone, strength and control. The
vagina becomes slack as its supporting muscles and tissues
have become stretched and torn during childbirth and they do
not recover.
Before the Procedure
It
is essential that you get sound professional advice before
you go ahead with genital surgery. You will have the opportunity
to discuss alternatives to surgery. At Mills & Mills
Medical Group we believe that all advice should be free.
That’s why we offer a free private consultation with
our surgeons without any obligation.
We
also offer a meeting with one of our friendly patient co-ordinators
who are on hand to give you information on other aspects
of these procedures, such as for example, the cost of the
procedure, availability in our hospitals, as well as different
ways of paying for your procedure such as through a cosmetic
surgery loan. Our co-ordinators
are not there to give clinical advice, only our surgeon can
do that, but they are there as a continual support throughout
your care with Mills & Mills.
Before
you attend your consultation try and write down all the questions
that you would like to ask our surgeon. You may forget when
you are there. It’s
also a good idea to bring someone along with you for support
- of course, if you want to keep the procedure totally confidential,
that’s
fine too.
Consultations are easy to arrange and are held throughout
the United Kingdom and in Marbella.
The Consultation
Your consultation for genital surgery
will last typically between half an hour and one hour. You
will have the opportunity to ask all of your questions directly
to the surgeon. You may also have a choice of female or male
surgeon. The surgeon will examine you and make recommendations.
They will explain the benefits of the surgery, such as a
more toned vagina and restored sensation during sexual intercourse.
The surgeon will also discuss the risks too.
Following your consultation with the surgeon, your patient
co-ordinator will be able to confirm the cost and make all
arrangements for you if you decide to proceed.
Pre – Operative
Screening
Before your procedure it may be necessary to have some
tests carried out. For example, blood tests. Your surgeon will
advise you what tests are required. Your patient co-ordinator
will arrange these for you. It is important that we know
you are fit and well for the procedure.
The Procedure
Following
your consultation & assessment, your surgeon
will select the right procedure to fit your needs.
Female
genital reshaping is a surgical procedure that normally takes
place under general anaesthetic, or local anaesthetic plus
sedation. The exact nature of the operation depends on the
desired result and what the surgeon recommends, but it can
last up to one hour.
Genital Reshaping simply means reducing
the size of the inner labia (the inner genital lips). To
do this, the surgeon will cut away the unwanted labia tissue
to make the desired shape. Alternatively, they can remove
a wedge-shaped section of the labia, leaving the front
intact and removing the tissue from behind. This means
there is no change in the colour of the labia and makes
the surgery less noticeable.

Vaginal Tightening surgery
takes around an hour, but you may need to stay overnight.
You will have general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic combined
with sedation.
The procedure is usually carried out with traditional
surgical methods. The surgeon
joins the stretched muscle at the back of the vagina together
and shortens it, before removing the unwanted skin. This
reduces excess vaginal lining and tightens vaginal muscles.
The scarring is inside the vagina.

Hymenoplasty is performed using local anaesthetic
and is a fairly simple procedure. It can be performed as
a day case.

After The Procedure
You
should expect some swelling and discomfort following the
procedure. Following discharge from hospital you will be
taken back home if you live locally, or your hotel to begin
your recovery period. You will have sutures that may need
to be removed if they are not dissolvable. Your surgeon will
advise you about this also. Most patients notice a significant
improvement in the bruising and swelling after the first
two weeks but it can take some time for everything to settle
completely. You will want to book about 1 to 2 weeks off
work.
