VAGINAL REJUVENATION

INJECTION OF FILLERS INTO THE VULVA

In its ideal state, the vulva is similar to a muscle. It is tight, plump and encloses the inner labia. The anatomical functions of the vulva are to close the entrance to the vagina, prevent foreign bodies or bacteria entering and to prevent it from drying out. After childbirth and with advancing age, the vulva can become limp, or the inner labia can protrude through in an unsightly way. This prevents the vulva from performing its protective function and many patients suffer from complaints such as fungal infections, feel unattractive or their sex life is affected.


We can usually remedy the situation by injecting fillers into the vulva - in the same way that we would treat thin lips - to restore its youthful fullness and shape. We inject the fillers on an out-patient basis with a short anaesthesia or local anaesthetic. Each treatment is approx. 10 minutes in length and you can go home straight afterwards. You should avoid mechanical strain to the treated area through sports such as jogging, horseback riding or cycling and avoid sex for approximately 1 week after the treatment. When the filler has been injected you may experience temporary skin irritation. You will not, however, suffer any impairment to vaginal sensitivity. Corrective surgery is another option in extreme cases.
