If you don’t know what a Kegel exercise is, then prepare to meet your new best friend! If you’re a woman then you should be performing Kegel exercises every day. And don’t worry you won’t be trying to find ways to avoid this work out it’s one of the simplest there is. So how do you do it?

Simply, Kegel exercise focus on your pelvic floor muscles. For those unfamiliar with the pelvic floor muscles, the simplest way to locate them is the next time you use the bathroom. The muscles you contract to stop yourself mid flow are your pelvic floor muscles, the muscles responsible for preventing urinary incontinence and vaginal prolapse. Like any muscle in your body, they need to be exercised to stay strong and functional. Tense these muscles for five to ten seconds, then relax for ten seconds repeating this cycle ten times. Perform this routine three to five times per day and you should notice a difference in a matter of weeks. If you find the exercises difficult to perform or are curious to see how you are improving, there are several implements that can be purchased from instruments that are inserted and squeezed to weighted balls that are said to improve muscle tone.

No matter your age the Kegel exercise is one that will have a range of benefits for you. A stronger pelvic floor has been shown to improve sexual pleasure, allow for easier labor, aid in recovery following childbirth and prevent bladder or vaginal prolapse. Vaginal rejuvenation is a procedure performed to tighten the vagina to correct damage from childbirth or prevent vaginal prolapse, performing Kegel exercises before the procedure and resuming in the weeks following the procedure can lead to even better results!

Labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation, commonly known as vaginal tightening, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to make the vagina tighter and firmer, if it has become loose or slack following vaginal childbirth or aging. In some cases, labiaplasty repair may also be performed to improve the appearance of the vagina. Dr. Paul McCluskey provides this surgery to patients in Atlanta, GA and surrounding communities.

Improving the Appearance

Vagintal rejuvenation or labiaplasty is essentially a plastic surgery performed on the labia, which refers to the ‘lips’ surrounding the vagina. This surgery may be performed on the larger, outer vaginal lips, which are called the labia major, or it may be performed on the smaller, inner vaginal lips, which are called the labia minor. Labiaplasty will improve the shape or size of the labia, usually making them smaller or correcting any possible asymmetry between them.

Patients should be aware that sexual sensitivity or sexual gratification may or may not be enhanced with this procedure. The plastic surgery is aimed at improving the aesthetics of the vagina, but there is no guarantee that surgical tightening of the vaginal tissue will lead to increase sexual response. Sexual sensitivity may be improved, but that alone is not an adequate change to drive more pleasure, which is a highly personal and emotional response.

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty is now a common term used by many surgeons to represent a group of cosmetic surgeries including vaginal tightening, labiaplasty, and labiaplasty repair. Some surgeons like to promote them as ‘designer vagina’ procedures. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the genitals of women naturally have a broad range of normal appearances, and all of them are anatomically acceptable.

There is no single or uniform way for a labia and vagina to look “right” in its formation. Vaginal rejuvenation procedures are nowadays also performed using laser technology to make them more precise. A number of surgeons who are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) provide vaginoplasty procedures today.

Popular Treatment Options

Vaginal rejuvenation may be performed using various treatment approaches. Here are some of the popular options:

Re-virgination

The thin tissue at the entrance of the vagina, called the hymen, will be ruptured the first time a woman has intercourse. Hymenoplasty is a procedure that can be performed to repair the hymen to mimic its natural, virginal state.

G-spot Amplification

Some experts in female sexuality believe that the front wall of the vagina holds the highly erotic G-spot. This is considered to be a very sensitive stimulation site for female orgasm. The procedure of G-spot amplification involves delivery of collagen through injections directly into the front wall of the vagina, with an aim to enhance the pleasure possibilities.

Clitoral Unhooding

This procedure is offered by some plastic surgeons, which involves removal of the excess tissue that usually covers the clitoris. Once the clitoris is ‘unhooded’ it may provide extra sensitivity in some cases. In any case, patients should approach only experienced and reputed plastic surgeons to determine whether they are suitable candidates for such procedures, and whether it will prove to be beneficial to them.

Breast augmentation has long been the most popular procedure in plastic surgery as well as being a hugely important step in many gender reassignment cases. In transgender breast augmentation cases the choices of implant types and sizes is exactly the same, with the same beautiful results expected, but there are some points to take in to consideration.

Typically in male to female transgender cases the patient has broader chest and shoulders that will accommodate larger implants, smaller implants may look too narrow and appear unnatural. As well as a wider chest, nipples will typically be lower on a male chest than a females so the natural breast crease will often have to be lowered so that the nipple is more centered on the implant.

Another aspect that is important during consultation is whether the patient is currently using hormone therapy. Patients who have been using hormone therapy will tend to have developed breast tissue and this can be associated with ptosis (or drooping) that would have to be taken in to account when planning the procedure. Many transgender patients are good candidates for trans-axilalry augmentation where the incision is made in the armpit because of the lack of ptosis of the breast tissue.

Finally it is important for the patient to pay close attention to instructions from their surgeon to allow the implants to ‘drop’ in to a natural position on the chest. Because the pec muscle is generally larger in transgender patients the muscle has a tendency to hold the implant higher on the chest wall, with massage and compression the implant will fall in to a lower and more natural place on the breast.
