Is My Vaginal Rejuvenation & Labiaplasty Doctor Good or Not?

Even though for some women it might seem like common sense, not everyone knows how to choose their "regular" doctor, much less their vaginal rejuvenation & labiaplasty surgeon. 
 
Some people think all doctors are the same. 
 
In reality, there is no easy way to know if your doctor is good.
 
A nice office and a nice staff are great.  But neither of those is an indiacator of quality work.
 
But a happy previous patient is. 
 
The best way to know if your vaginal tightening/labiaplasty doctor is good or not is to talk to one of their former patients or patient testimonials.  
 
What was their experience?  Are they happy with the results?  What did they like about the doctor?  What didn't they like?
 
If you don't know a former patient personally, some doctors will offer contact with former patients that have agreed to share their experience with other women.
 
Likewise, some surgeons will have women fill out a follow-up testimonial after the procedure and make these available for prospective patients to read.
 
This is an excellent way for you to find out what other women think about the doctor. 
 
We've all heard the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words."
 
And another great way to know if your doctor is good or not is by looking at their work.  Any reputable vaginal rejuvenation and/or labiaplasty doctor is going to have before & after photos available for you to look at.
 
Look for "before" pictures that are similar to your own condition, as well as after pictures that look like you want to.  
 
You can even use these before and after pictures to show the doctor exactly what you want done. 
 
 
What are their credentials/training?  How many procedures have they performed?  What other types of surgery do they do?
 
Any credible doctor will be more than happy to discuss their qualifications with you.  
 
If a doctor does not want to share the answers, or is evasive, then head for the door.   
 
Look for a doctor that has been performing the procedure for at least a few years.  You want to make sure they are not practicing on you and have done this procedure successfully many times before.
 
I recommend that you schedule consultations with several different doctors if it is possible where you live.
 
Find the one you are most comfortable with and are most confident in.  This is not an area you want to turn over to an unskilled hand.
 
You want a doctor that proves they will take good care of you and know what they are doing! 

 
What Type of Doctor Performs Vaginal Rejuvenation & Labiaplasty?
 
What most people do not know, and need to be very cautious about, is that technically any licensed doctor can perform cosmetic surgery.
 
So yes, even your dentist could theoretically perform a labiaplasty.
 
Now, any deal involving vaginal surgery and a teeth cleaning should throw up a red flag for you. :-)
 
Needless to say, it is very important to know how to pick the doctor that will perform surgery on you.  
 
This is especially true in the United States, where any medical doctor can perform surgery, even with no surgical experience. 
 
I have seen first hand the butchered results that a novice surgeon can provide.  
 
And I don't say this to alarm you, but to stress how critical it is that even though a doctor says he/she can perform a labia reduction or vaginal tightening, you MUST be aware.   
 
You should find out everything you need in order to feel comfortable with the doctors qualifications.
 
It's not enough that this doctor is a gynecologist.  Some of the worst labiaplasties I've seen were done by gynecolgists.
 
What kind of training do they have in vaginal surgery?  How many surgeries have they done?  Do they have before and after pictures?  
 
These are just a few of the questions you need to ask
 
I have worked for both the highly specialized surgeon that only focuses on vaginal rejuvenation and a medical doctor (a family practitioner that performed an array of treatments and cosmetic procedures).
 
Both can get you what you want.  But make sure you understand exactly who is performing your procedure. 
 
With so many doctors now offering vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty procedures, it is becoming tougher to know which surgeons are good or not.
 
Take your time, do your research and don't go forward with the surgery unless you are 100% confident in the ability of your surgeon! 
 
 
Will Insurance Cover the Cost of Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Thursday, 12 August 2010 00:36
In some cases, when a medical condition exists, vaginal rejuvenation may be covered, reimbursable or recognized by insurance.
 
You see, the truth about vaginal rejuvenation is that it has been helping women correct anatomical or medical conditions like uterine, bladder and rectal prolapse for more than 50 years.
 
The tightening of the vaginal canal and removing the scarred tissue can help to re-support some organs due to the loss of elasticity and/or child bearing. 
 
These days though, women are electing to have the procedures done for other elective reasons.
 
There are women that want to tighten the vagina for better sex, cosmetic/aesthetic reasons or simply to feel better about themselves. 
 
If a vaginal rejuvenation is done purely for cosmetic reasons, it will not be covered by insurance. 
 
On the other hand, when your gynecologist or doctor is able to diagnose a valid medical issue, your insurance may cover the cost of the procedure.  
 
If they do, it will be covered to correct your medical condition, not to tighten your vagina.  Any tightening as a result of the surgery is an added benefit. 
 
Each case is different.  But here a couple of other things to keep in mind.
 
First, most insurance companies will not pay for the surgery upfront.  A lot depends on what type of doctor you choose too.  Gynecologist or cosmetic surgeon.
  
So this means you will have to pay for the surgery yourself, and then submit a claim to the insurance company to reimburse you.
 
You may or may not get approved, and they may reimburse you for all or part of the procedure.  
 
There are no guarantees, and you may not be reimbursed at all.
 
Second, what type of tool the doctor uses matters.
 
In my experience, if the procedure is done with a laser, your chances of reimbursement are less than if it is done with a scalpel.
 
Insurance companies just view the laser as more cosmetic.
 
However, there are some that do get approved with the laser.
 
If you are wanting to have insurance pay for a some or all of the cost of vaginal rejuvenation, I suggest you ask your doctor what percentage of their patients are reimbursed by insurance.
 
They should know and be able to give you an idea of your chances.
 
Obviously the more severe your medical condition the more likely insurance is to cover it.  

 
How Long Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery Take?
Wednesday, 11 August 2010 23:40
The amount of time your vaginal rejuvenation procedure will take depends on exactly what you are having done.
 
If you are getting a combination of procedures (such as a vaginal tightening, labia reduction and hoodectomy all at once), you could be looking at spending a total of 3 to 5 hours with your doctor.
 
Now when done independently, a tightening surgery can take 1 to 2 hours.
 
If you are only receiving labiaplasty, the entire procedure could last up to an hour.
 
Obviously, the more procedures you have done at once, the longer your surgery time will take.
 
Keep in mind if you do combine services, it could save you money.  This is because you are only paying for the facility, anesthesia used, and doctor's fees one time. 
 
If your doctor uses general anesthesia, they may prefer not to do too many procedures all at one time, for your safety.
 
Make sure you ask questions and understand exactly what the doctor intends to do. 
 
And follow all your doctors instructions during the recovery period, or you may negatively impact the results of the surgery. 

 
Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Improve Your Sex Life?
Saturday, 07 August 2010 20:33
Most women are curious if vaginal rejuvenation will lead to better sex, but are too shy to ask.
 
Luckily, I'm not too shy to answer.Wink 
 
So after vaginal rejuvenation, will you have mind blowing orgasms and the best sex of your life?
 
The truth is, for the vast majority of women that get vaginal rejuvenation, better sex is just the icing on the cake.
 
Most of them are thrilled to "feel" normal again or no longer be leaking when they cough or sneeze.
 
It's only once in the bedroom they realize the added benefit of more pleasurable sex. 
 
In my line of work I have had the good fortune to talk with many women before and after the actual vaginal tightening procedure.
 
And I can report that a good number of women rejuvenating their bodies and lives, are indeed experiencing better sex.
 
There are really two reasons for this.  One is physical and the other is mental. 
 
Vaginal tightening does just that, it tightens the vagina.  This leads to more friction during sexual intercourse.
 
And according to the famous Masters & Johnson study, sexual satisfaction is directly related to the amount of friction generated.  
 
So basically, you will feel it more!
 
But just as important is how much better the woman feels about herself.
 
Most woman feel more comfortable and confident following the procedure. 
 
I have had patients personally share how much sexier they feel and in control of their bodies and their lives.
 
It's a lot easier to be "in the mood" when you no longer have to be concerned about noises or leakage
 
Other patients have even shared being able to climax as quick or faster than their partner after vaginal rejuvenation.
 
So does vaginal rejuvenation lead to better sex?
 
Yes it does.
 
By improving both the physical structure of the vagina, as well as restoring a sense of sexiness and desire, vaginal rejuvenation has helped many women enjoy their sex lives again.
