Perineoplasty
Perineoplasty, also known as Perineorrhaphy, is a surgical treatment that helps reshape and tighten the part between the vaginal opening and the anus (perineum) that might have been changed during childbirth.
The most common reason for getting this procedure is to reduce the size of the vaginal opening (reduce the gap at the entrance of the vagina) and increase the size of the perineum which makes you less susceptible to infection.

Who is a Candidate for Perineoplasty?
A good candidate for perineoplasty is one who:
Gave birth vaginally once or multiple times.
Is seeking a better appearance of the intimate area (remove the gap at the entrance of the vagina).
Is seeking sexual enhancement through better friction during penetration.
Has recurrent vaginal infections because of short perineum (area between the vaginal entrance and the anus).
How is the Procedure Performed?
Dr Maria performs perineoplasty under general anesthesia which takes an average of 30 minutes. The reason why she doesn’t use local anesthesia is because of the patient’s comfort, and with general anesthesia, the cosmetic results are better and more accurate due to minimal swelling of the target area.
Usually, perineoplasty is combined with vaginoplasty for the best functional outcome.
Dr Maria is using Radiofrequency – a cutting-edge technology – in all her surgeries. With radiofrequency, which is the least invasive surgical tool, you can achieve the best and most detailed cosmetic results.
Pre-Op Instructions
Perineoplasty is a surgical procedure, therefore, patients need to prepare for it beforehand. Keep the following instructions in mind before undergoing the procedure:
Avoid taking any blood-thinning medication for 2 weeks before the procedure.
Try to avoid smoking before and after the surgery.
Do not drink any alcohol a day before the surgery.
Recovery After Labia Minoraplasty
After the surgery, Dr Maria will ask you to stay at home and ice the target area for 3 days. One week later, you will be able to resume your daily routine, however, you shouldn’t have intercourse, go swimming, and engage in strenuous exercise for 6 weeks.
After these initial 6 weeks, Dr Maria might ask you to use dilators to soothe the vaginal entrance.
