PERINEOPLASTY

The area between the vagina and the anus, called the perineum, is often torn or surgically cut (an episiotomy) during childbirth. While these tears usually heal naturally, sometimes the healing process can lead to excess scar tissue, gaping, or deformities that cause lasting pain and discomfort. A perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs and reconstructs the perineum. It also tightens the vaginal opening, which can help restore sexual feeling and friction in women who have suffered vaginal laxity due to childbirth. When performed specifically to repair a poorly healed episiotomy, it is often referred to as a Revision of Episiotomy surgery.

A perineoplasty can help correct structural issues so that you can go back to your normal, comfortable pre-childbirth state. You may be a candidate for a perineoplasty if: • You suffered extensive tearing during childbirth that did not heal well • You have “trigger points” of scar tissue that are painful when trying to insert a tampon or during intimacy • You experience decreased sexual feeling due to a widened vaginal opening • You still have lingering pain and discomfort long after your recovery from childbirth • You are in generally good health and do not smoke (smoking drastically inhibits proper healing). While you can technically still have children after undergoing a perineoplasty, having another vaginal birth can create new tears that may require another surgery to correct. We typically recommend waiting until after you're finished having children if you're undergoing perineoplasty for purely cosmetic reasons. However, if you are in pain or suffering extreme physical discomfort, there is no reason to wait for relief! Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)can help determine whether perineoplasty is right for you during your private consultation.

Recovery from a perineoplasty typically takes around the same amount of time as recovering from an initial episiotomy. During your recovery, you will need to: • Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (including lifting a toddler or heavy child) • Use a donut cushion when sitting to relieve pressure on the surgical site • Avoid sexual intercourse and the use of tampons for 6 to 8 weeks • Follow all of Dr. Claudia Kim's post-operative instructions carefully If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, please feel free to call New Look New Life.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/) We are always here to answer your questions and ensure you heal as comfortably as possible.

Yes! For many women, a poorly healed perineum results in a widened vaginal opening, which significantly reduces friction and sensation during intercourse. By surgically repairing the muscles and tightening the entrance to the vagina, a perineoplasty frequently restores lost sensation, eliminates pain caused by jagged scar tissue, and dramatically improves overall sexual satisfaction and confidence.

Absolutely. Because childbirth affects the entire pelvic region, Dr. Claudia Kim frequently performs a perineoplasty at the same time as a Vaginoplasty (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/vaginoplasty)(to tighten the internal vaginal canal) or a Labiaplasty (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/labiaplasty)(to reduce stretched labial lips). Combining these procedures allows for a complete, harmonious intimate rejuvenation with only one single recovery period.
