Q. My inner vaginal lips (labia minora) are too long. Can I have them reduced?

A: The labia minora can be aesthetically sculptured to your specifications with laser reduction labioplasty.

Q. What types of anesthesia are available?

From our experience with hundreds of patients, Dr. Hailparn prefers to use general anesthesia.

Q. When can I resume sex after laser vaginal rejuvenation?

A: We ask that you abstain from sexual intercourse for approximately 8 weeks. Everyone heals at a different pace. Some women wait until 10 or 12 weeks if they are still tender at the surgical site. Oral sex may be resumed at around 8 weeks post-op.

Q. When can I return to work after laser vaginal rejuvenation?

A: In general, returning to work is dependent on the type of work you do. Most patients can return within 5 to 7 days.

Q. I am from out of town. How long do I have to remain in San Antonio after laser vaginal rejuvenation?

A: You can return home within 2-4 days.

Q. How much discomfort will I have after laser vaginal rejuvenation?

A:With our technique of submucossal tumescence, pudendal block, and local anesthetic, you will be pain free for the first 18 to 24 hours. After this, patients report mild to moderate discomfort which can be controlled by analgesics and cold packs to the area.

Q. How much does laser vaginal rejuvenation cost?

A: Fees are all-inclusive of the surgical center, anesthesiologist, surgical assistant, surgeon, and follow-up. There is a small fee for the initial consult which is applied to the total cost of the procedure(s).

The procedure fees depend on the type of the procedure and the extent. A fee range can be provided once we know your particular needs. We accept all major credit cards and can provide you with access to financing if you wish.

Q. What are the surgical risks for laser vaginal rejuvenation?

A: Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a safe procedure with low risk. To put the risk in perspective, pregnancy is associated with far more risk than any of these procedures. Like any surgery the risks are hemorrhage and infection; these are less than 1%. If one requires work on both the upper and lower vagina, then there is risk of injury to the bladder and the rectum. This is very rare. With any surgery, one can encounter scarring. Over-correction can potentially result in painful sex. Although rare there are anesthetic risks also depending on the type of anesthesia.

Q. Can laser vaginal rejuvenation be combined with designer laser vaginoplasty?

A: Laser vaginal rejuvenation can be combined with designer laser vaginoplasty such as laser reduction labioplasty.

Q. Can laser vaginal rejuvenation or designer laser vaginoplasty be combined with other cosmetic surgical procedures?

A: Yes, our team of board certified gynecologist and plastic and reconstructive surgeons can combine laser vaginal rejuvenation or designer laser vaginoplasty with most conmetic surgical procedures such as breast, nose, eye, or tummy tuck surgery.
