Perineoplasty Doctor in Houston
What is Perineoplasty?
Perineoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing or rejuvenating the perineal area, which is the region between the vaginal opening and the anus. This procedure can also be combined with labiaplasty or vaginoplasty. Perineoplasty focuses on tightening the vaginal opening and improving its appearance, while vaginoplasty tightens the vaginal canal.
Why Would Someone Need Perineoplasty?
There are several reasons why patients request perineoplasty. The most common reason is postpartum changes. During childbirth, the perineal muscles or pelvic floor muscles can be stretched or damaged, impacting bowel and sexual function as well as the appearance of the area. Symptoms might include partners falling out during intercourse, reduced sensation for one or both partners, or gas-like noises caused by air moving in and out of the vaginal canal. Other reasons for perineoplasty include episiotomy, aging, genetics, and trauma.
How is the Procedure Performed?
The procedure can be performed at Georgia Plastic using either local or general anesthesia. Our accredited surgical center provides private entry and exit to ensure patient privacy. During the surgery, the perineal tissues are brought back together. Perineoplasty can also be combined with other procedures such as labiaplasty or vaginoplasty.
What is the Cost of Perineoplasty?
The cost of perineoplasty varies, especially if combined with other procedures like labiaplasty and vaginoplasty. The average cost is around $2,500, plus the facility or center fees.
Most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic surgeries, related complications, or additional surgeries to revise the appearance. Please review your health insurance policy. We offer CosmetAssure for additional coverage.
