Perineoplasty, often referred to as perineal repair or perineal rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance and function of the perineum—the area between the genitals and anus. This procedure can address issues such as excess skin, tissue laxity, or discomfort caused by childbirth, aging, or other factors. Let’s delve into what perineoplasty involves, its benefits, and what you can expect from the procedure.
Perineoplasty is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the appearance and function of the perineum. The perineum can become stretched or damaged due to various reasons, including childbirth, aging, or significant weight fluctuations. This can result in discomfort, reduced confidence, or aesthetic concerns. Perineoplasty aims to correct these issues by removing excess skin, tightening tissues, and restoring a more youthful and contoured appearance.
Perineoplasty is performed in our office using local anesthesia. The procedure is tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs and Dr. Fishman may involve a combination of techniques to achieve the desired results.
The procedure usually results in a scar similar in appearance to a small, discrete line. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in both the appearance and function of the perineum following recovery.
Recovery from perineoplasty typically involves a few weeks of rest and careful aftercare. Here’s what you can expect:
Perineoplasty can significantly impact self-confidence and comfort. By addressing concerns related to the perineum, our patients often find renewed confidence and satisfaction with their bodies. This procedure is not just about achieving physical changes but also about enhancing one’s quality of life and feeling more comfortable in your own skin.
Recovery involves some swelling and discomfort, but most patients can manage pain with medication and are advised to rest for a few weeks. Full recovery typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, and scarring.
Insurance coverage varies by provider and policy. Perineoplasty is often considered cosmetic, so it may not be covered by insurance. Check with your insurance provider for specific details.
Most patients can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job and how they feel.
Exercise can usually be resumed after 4 to 6 weeks.
Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals who have specific concerns about the appearance or function of their perineum and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
