Nonsurgical vulvar procedures embrace microneedling, labial and G-zone fillers, platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections, laser vaginal rejuvenation (to tighten and thicken the vaginal wall), and Cliovana™largely.
I developed and perfected the Vagilangelo process, which is a minimally invasive methodology for tightening broken vaginal tissue and muscle. Step one of this 2-step process entails vaginal and G-zone enhancement by PRP injection. I then restore vaginal angle and tightness with a number of inside sutures underneath native anesthesia.
♡ Stroll us by way of the method of pre, throughout & publish surgical procedure. What does the whole course of entail?
AM: Earlier than surgical procedure, I conduct an entire historical past and bodily examination in my workplace. I sit down with the affected person to get to know them, and to grasp their targets for surgical procedure. I’ve a radical consent course of, which entails exhibiting the affected person that, apart from a number of medical circumstances, every vulva and vagina are excellent the way in which they’re!
We evaluation many photographs of what a standard vulva seems to be like (my sufferers are sometimes stunned on the variation, and the wide selection of “regular”). As a result of beauty surgical procedure is as a lot an artwork as it’s a science, I take many “earlier than” photographs. After I evaluation the photographs, the affected person and I provide you with a plan for surgical procedure.
On surgical procedure day, the affected person is dropped at the surgical procedure heart. They’re positioned underneath normal anesthesia whereas I function.
After surgical procedure, they’re taken to the restoration room, the place they look forward to 1 hour whereas the anesthesia wears off. They’re able to go house the identical day. I give every affected person my mobile phone quantity, and so they can name or textual content at any time with questions.
♡ How dangerous does it damage? Be trustworthy!
AM: Many of the nonsurgical vulvar procedures solely contain a fast needle pinch.
We carry out a lot of the surgical procedures underneath a lightweight normal anesthesia, and apply numbing remedy to the realm. Sufferers solely really feel minimal ache once they go to the restoration room. After they get house, not a lot ache remedy is required – Motrin is normally enough and generally sufferers don’t even take that.
♡ Are you able to share a tremendous success story with us?
AM: A 32-year-old lady requested a session with our gynecologic surgical procedure follow. She endorsed low vanity attributable to labial enlargement and asymmetry. Because of this, she was reluctant to have sexual activity together with her associate. After being offered with completely different surgical choices and educated in regards to the wide selection of regular labial sizes, she was assured that labiaplasty was the most suitable choice for her. She underwent bilateral labiaplasty and posterior vaginal restore. After restoration, she reported a dramatic enchancment in her vanity, sexual functioning, and total wellness.
♡ What’s the strangest factor somebody has requested you to do?

(Analysis research of why ladies request labiaplasty)
♡ Clarify to us the completely different components of the vagina and what components folks normally wish to have revamped.
AM: Individuals normally use the time period vagina to explain the whole feminine genital space. In actuality, the phrase vulva is the extra correct time period to explain this complete space. The vulva contains the mons pubis, labia majora (“outer lips”), labia minora (“inside lips”), vaginal opening, clitoris, and vestibular glands (these produce fluid to lubricate the vagina and urethra).
The vagina is separate from the vulva. It’s the elastic, muscular canal that extends from the vulva to the cervix.
The G-Zone (previously often called G-Spot) is a delicate space positioned within the anterior vaginal wall. A current analysis research revealed that the delicate space isn’t really a focal “spot,” however a “zone” of 5 tissues concerned in sexual pleasure (clitoral crura, clitoral bulb, periurethral glands, urethra, and anterior vaginal wall) (Metro UK analysis writeup).
The labia majora and/or labia minora will be gotten smaller with labiaplasty. Fillers may also be injected into the labia majora and minora. Clitoral hood discount is one other in style beauty surgical procedure. Vaginoplasty entails surgical procedure on the vagina.
Nonsurgical vulvar procedures embrace microneedling, labial and G-zone fillers, platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections, laser vaginal rejuvenation (to tighten and thicken the vaginal wall), and Cliovana™.
I developed and perfected the Vagilangelo process, which is a minimally invasive methodology for tightening broken vaginal muscle mass. Step one of this 2-step process entails vaginal and G-zone enhancement by PRP injection. I then restore vaginal tightness with a number of inside sutures underneath native anesthesia.
♡ Do kegels and pelvic flooring workout routines actually work?
AM: They do! The pelvic flooring is made up of a number of advanced muscle mass. Like all muscle exercise, pelvic flooring workout routines (also called Kegels) strengthen the pelvic flooring. A analysis research confirmed that girls with stronger pelvic flooring muscle mass have higher sexual operate (Martinez et al 2014). The precise cause for that is unclear, however my analysis associate, Dr. Kimberly Lovie, and I hope to search out the reply by way of our analysis. We have now ultrasound movies of the clitoris throughout Kegel workout routines. The ultrasound reveals that in Kegel workout routines, blood movement to the clitoris will increase!
Kegels may also enhance signs of urinary and fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse, for each women and men.
♡ What’s one factor you want folks knew extra about in relation to vaginas?
AM: Excluding a number of medical circumstances, each vagina and vulva are excellent the way in which they’re! For instance, I inform each one in all my sufferers that they don’t want labiaplasty, that their labia is ideal the way in which it’s. I conduct an analysis to make sure that they’re present process the process underneath their very own volition.
I lately wrote a e book chapter that particulars the significance of this consent course of, whereas nonetheless respecting ladies’s autonomy (and giving them the selection to endure this beauty process). My hope is that different surgeons will use this consent method as nicely. My final purpose is to empower ladies!

I recruited Dr. Kimberly Lovie, a Harvard and Yale-trained physician, scientist, and radiologist, to work in my follow.
She is a Harvard and Yale-trained Chemist, Engineer, and Sonographer (https://www.kimberlylovie.com/). She makes use of her information of radiology to conduct revolutionary research of the clitoris, utilizing ultrasound to guage blood movement and swell.
