Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery in Paris Est Créteil
Childbirth, pregnancy, weight changes and ageing can lead to loosening, stretching and tearing of the muscles and tissues of the vagina, perineum and vulva.
This can lead to sexual problems with reduced sensation, loss of vaginal water after bathing, vaginal flatulence during intercourse and loss of tampons.

Vagina lift in Paris & Créteil
These problems can be solved by a vaginal lift of the perineum and the entrance to the vagina, also known as vaginoplasty.
Through an opening in the perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus) and inside the vagina, the surgeon can remove excess skin and tissue, reduce the length of the vaginal canal or decrease the size of the vaginal opening, and tighten the muscles. This operation is sometimes combined with a reduction in the hypertrophy of the labia minora and lipofilling of the labia majora.
Prior consultation with a gynaecologist is essential.

What type of anaesthetic is used for a vulvovaginal and perineal lift?
General anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia. The patient is operated on in the gynaecological position.
Vaginal lift: What type of hospitalisation is required?
This operation requires hospitalisation depending on co-morbidities, or can be performed on an outpatient basis.
Vaginal lift: What are the risks?
Pain during sexual intercourse if the vaginoplasty is too tight.
Complications of all surgeries: haematoma, infection, scar disunion.
What is the recovery period?
Patients generally experience swelling and discomfort for a few days to a few weeks. Patients can return to work after one to two weeks, but must limit their physical activity for six weeks. Sexual activity may be resumed after the post-operative consultation at 3 weeks and with the agreement of the surgeon.
Cotton panties must be worn.
Laxatives are used to prevent constipation and hard stools.
Vaginal lift: What results can be expected?
Patients can regain comfort after treatment of the hollowness with greater sexual satisfaction. Flatulence and water and tampon loss disappear.
Post-operative perineal physiotherapy may be recommended.
Prevention and treatment of minor vaginal laxity after pregnancy using radiofrequency: what is the benefit?
The fall in hormones combined with the mechanical stresses of pregnancy and childbirth will lead to vaginal laxity. This laxity, which affects the vulva, the vaginal canal and the walls of the vagina, is associated with a loss of physical sensations, reduced sexual satisfaction and therefore a deterioration in quality of life. 50% of women with at least one child are affected by this symptom without being able to talk to their doctor about it.
Non-invasive medical techniques include injections of dermal fillers and the use of physical agents such as lasers (CO2, Erbium Yag) and radiofrequency (RF).
RF is an emission of very high frequency electromagnetic waves, applied by a probe directly to the skin, which heats the subcutaneous tissue to around 45°C (down to the deep dermis). This induces local retraction of collagen fibres, neocollagenesis and stimulation of microcirculation, leading to improved firmness, tone and hydration of the skin and mucosa.
Radiofrequency gives significant results in terms of improving vaginal laxity without a significant gap. It also helps prevent sagging.
Vaginal lifting: How many sessions are needed?
3 sessions, one month apart, to start the treatment, then an annual maintenance session is recommended.
How long does the treatment last?
20 minutes after emptying the bladder.
Vaginal lift: Is it painful?
The treatment is generally painless. If it is painful, the intensity of the treatment can be reduced.
Is radiofrequency or surgical vaginal lift preferable?
In cases of clinically proven vulvovaginal hollowness, surgical lifting is more effective.
A surgical facelift is not recommended for a subsequent pregnancy or for prevention.
Radiofrequency is suitable for fragile patients who cannot benefit from a general anaesthetic.
Can radiofrequency be used to improve the appearance of the vulva?
Yes, there is a handpiece for the external vulva to treat sagging skin. As with the face, the thermal effect of radiofrequency helps to smooth the withered appearance of the skin by boosting the secretion of collagen, elastin and endogenous hyaluronic acid.
