Clitoral Surgery

A number of international cultures practice Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). However, there are several problems associated with this procedure. Women may experience:

• Urinary tract infections, painful urination, and other urinary problems
• Itching, discharge, bacterial vaginosis, and other vaginal infections and problems
• Difficulty in passing menstrual blood, painful menstruations, and other menstrual problems
• Keloid and scar tissue
• Decreased sexual satisfaction, pain during intercourse, and other sexual problems

Fortunately, women that have undergone FGM can reverse the procedure with the help of a clitoral reconstructive surgery. This is reconstructive procedure that has shown successful and effective outcomes.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven clitoral reconstructive surgery procedures to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Sexual Function and Clitoral Reconstruction

A study compared sexual functioning in women with FGM after and before they got clitoral reconstructive surgery. There were 12 women in the study with genital mutilation. Each woman was asked to complete a FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) questionnaire before they got clitoral reconstructive surgery. The questionnaire included questions that optimally illustrated arousal, desire, orgasm, lubrication, pain, and satisfaction.

The global or average sexual dysfunction score was 17 out of 36 before the surgery. Lower numbers refer to severe female sexual dysfunction. The results also showed that eight out of twelve women has no clitoral sensation prior to the surgery. Orgasm, arousal, pain, and desire were other notable dysfunction categories.

Eleven women were not happy with the way their genitalia appeared. Seven women had a lack of sense of femininity and five felt symptoms of severe depression.

The women were asked to take the FSFI questionnaire again after 3 and 6 months of their clitoral reconstruction surgery. At this time, there were given an additional questionnaire regarding symptoms of depression, self-esteem, and anxiety, and clitoral sensation.

The FSFI after 6 months had reached a score of 29. There were no women below the threshold of 23. All categories on the FSFI questionnaire improved except for lubrication category. Ten out of twelve women had clitoral sensation and 11 of them were satisfied with the surgery. They were also satisfied with their sense of femininity and the way their genitalia appeared.

Reconstructive Surgery after FMG In Women

In another French research study spanning 11 years, a total of 2,938 women with FMG were studied and operated on for reconstructive surgery. These women had Type II or Type III mutilations. Type III mutilations refer to clitoral excisions. The women underwent the reconstruction surgery.

Follow-up was carried out a year after the surgery. 42% women had hoodless glans, 24% had visible projections, 28% had normal clitoris, 6% had palpable projections, and 0.4% had no change. Almost all women experienced improvements with pain. Out of 834 women, 815 reported clitoral pleasure. 430 of 841 experienced orgasms. Out of the 430 women, 129 reported to have experienced it for the very first time.

Sexual Function Disorders

Labiaplasty and other sexual aesthetic procedures can help improve sexual function and sexual desire in women. Many women choose to get a labiaplasty performed if they are uncomfortable with the shape, size, and asymmetry of their labia. The procedure is popular among women looking to improve confidence and intimacy.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven procedures for the correction of sexual function disorders to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Labiaplasty’s Role in Improvement of Sexual Function

Opens Women to New Experiences

Labiaplasty can greatly improve self-confidence in women that are unhappy with the appearance of their labia. Women tend to feel more comfortable in their body and are open to having different sexual experiences.

Leaving the lights on won’t seem daunting after getting a labiaplasty performed. A study that looked at the expectations, motivations, and experiences of women that had labiaplasty found that majority of the participants were open to trying out new things in bed following the procedure.

Diminish Pain During Sex

For some women, having large labia is not just a cosmetic concern. The labia may cause physical concerns, such as discomfort and pain during sex. This is called labial trapping by experts. There is a less chance of the labia getting smushed during exercise and intimate moments by removing excess tissue. Women can completely enjoy their experience without any discomfort. It also increases the chance of having an orgasm.

Increased Libido

It is natural for a woman’s libido to suffer, if she is not comfortable with the way her body looks or experiences pain, every time she tries having sex. Mental and physical effects can lower her desires even if she tries having sex at first until she begins avoiding it altogether.

Fortunately, labiaplasty is scientifically proven for increasing sexual functioning and enjoyment. A study compared the scores of 12 women that got labiaplasty done with 12 others who did not (but wished they had) on the Female Sexual Health Questionnaire. Results showed that women with labiaplasty enjoyed sexual experiences better. This is because they were less concerned with excess skin down there becoming trapped.

Psychosexual Benefits

There is a strong psychosexual basis to getting a genital cosmetic or plastic surgery performed. Several peer-reviewed psychological and sexual medicine literatures have established that a woman’s comfort with the sexual areas of her body has a direct impact on her sexual function and sexuality.

Woman’s sexual enjoyment is affected by the comfort levels in regards to her genitals. Researchers have established that genital self-image is directly correlated with lubrication, arousal, satisfaction, orgasm, and pain. It is negatively related to sexual distress.

Women that have a positive genital self-image tend to experience lower levels of sexual distress and greater levels of sexual functioning. Genital cosmetic surgery for creating modified female genitalia is considered attractive by most men and women. This is regardless of their age or sexual preferences.

G-spot Enhancement

G-spot or the Gräfenbergspot called after the German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg is an erogenous zone within the vagina. It may lead to powerful orgasms, strong sexual arousals, and female ejaculation when stimulated. Typically, the G-spot is reported to be 2 – 3 inches or 5 – 8 cm up the front of the vaginal wall (anterior). It is a sensitive area located between the urethra and the vaginal opening, which may be part of the female prostate.

It is possible to enhance the G-spot for increased sexual satisfaction using minimally invasive techniques. Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven G-spot amplification procedures to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Benefits of G-spot Amplification

The Gräfenbergspot can be temporarily enlarged or enhanced in a nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedure. G-shot, G-spot augmentation or G-spot amplification is intended to increase sexual pleasure temporarily in sexually active women with regular sexual function. The procedure focuses on increasing the sensitivity and size of the G-spot.

The procedure is performed by locating the G-spot and taking measurements for future reference. The area is numbed with local anesthetic and human-engineered collagen is directly injected in the area where the G-spot is believed to be located. The injection is delivered under the mucosa.

G-spot Amplification Procedure

The patient is placed into a pap smear position with their buttocks slightly raised. Your doctor will carry out a brief pelvic exam to locate the G-spot. Measurements would be taken and marked as per your instructions. The measurements are then transferred to a special speculum and ruler.

The tagged speculum is next placed inside the vagina. Local anesthesia is delivered using a small sterile needle. Collagen fiber is injected in the area once the G-spot is numbed. A tampon would be inserted which needs to be kept for 4 hours. The procedure doesn’t take more than 10 – 20 minutes. The injection time may take less than 8 seconds.

FAQs Regarding G-spot Amplification

Am I a suitable candidate for the procedure?

You should be physically and mentally healthy to undertake G-spot augmentation. The procedure is recommended if you want to heighten your sexual pleasure after years of normal experience. G-spot amplification can be useful in increasing the intensity of orgasms.

Does the procedure hurt?

G-spot amplification is almost painless. The best part is that it doesn’t involve any downtime.

Are the effects of G-spot augmentation permanent?

The results generally last for four months. However, this can vary among women.

Does the G-shot procedure impact periods in any way?

The procedure doesn’t affect periods.

Will I be able to use tampons?

The procedure doesn’t have any bearing on the usage of tampons.

Preparing Patients Before G-spot Amplification

G-spot augmentation is best performed in women that are familiar with the location of their G-spot before undergoing the procedure. In case the patient is unaware of the location, the physician will help the patient identify this particular anatomy.

Hymenoplasty

The hymen is a type of membrane or tissue covering the vaginal opening partially. The appearance and shape of the hymen varies among women. However, it is generally in a half moon shape located at the bottom of the vaginal opening. Hymen can be torn or broken at different times. It can break because of tampon insertion, sexual intercourse, or exercise. Minor bleeding is common with the breaking of the hymen.

Hymenorrhaphy or hymenoplasty is the cosmetic restoration, repair, or reconstruction of a woman’s hymen. Hymen restoration is also called revirginization. Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven hymenoplasty cosmetic surgery to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Understanding Hymenoplasty

An intact hymen, in some religions and cultures is associated with virginity in women. Hymen construction surgery, hymenorrhaphy or hymenoplasty is performed in such situations before a woman’s marriage.

Others may seek the surgery as a form of therapy after a sexual injury, illness or assault. The surgery doesn’t take more than an hour to complete regardless of the purpose behind it. It is performed under local anesthesia and results are more or less immediately visible.

Hymenoplasty Procedure

Patients can be given sedative along with local anesthesia while performing the surgery for enhanced comfort. The patient will be made to lie down comfortably with her legs spread apart. Hymen will be identified and excised partially to eliminate any uneven remaining tissue from previous tearing. It will then be sutured together in double layers using dissolvable stitches.

Small tissue piece from another part of the vagina may be required in some women for grafting purposes. This will be done for recreating the hymen if there is not enough skin to restore it. This is also done in situations where the hymen is nonexistent. Your surgeon may create a hymen by using the vaginal mucosa or synthetic tissue. A small supply of blood may be added as well for simulating traditional bleeding on penetration.

Recovery Time Following a Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty surgery can be expected to last anywhere from 1 – 2 hours. This depends on the amount of repair required. Hymenoplasty is a clinical procedure and doesn’t require any overnight stay. Women can return to work the next day. However, you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities. There may be slight bleeding during the first 48 – 72 hours. This is perfectly normal.

It takes about 6 to 8 weeks for complete healing. There will be no visible surgery signs and it will be almost impossible to tell the difference between a reconstructed hymen and a natural one. Reconstruction process once complete may bring back the sensations associated with first time penetration.

Enhancing Sexual Pleasure

Vaginal muscles tend to weaken after childbirth. Flaccidity is another concern that occurs over time with age. Hymenoplasty is helpful in tightening the vaginal muscles to give the added benefit of sensually stimulating sexual experience.

Clitoral Reduction

Clitoral hood reduction, clitoral unhooding, clitoridotomy, or clitoral hoodectomy is a cosmetic procedure performed for reducing prepuce or excessive skin covering the clitoris. The technique enhances the visual appearance of the pubic area in a woman. It also serves for improving sexual pleasure by making it more accessible. The clitoral hood has the clitoris concealed within it.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven clitoral hood reduction cosmetic surgery to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Understanding the Clitoris

Clitoris is a female’s most complex and primary erogenous zone. The glans or head of this tiny body party has over eight thousand sensory nerve endings. This is twice the number of nerve endings found in a penis.

The clitoris usually resembles a small pearl or a pea, though its size and sensitivity can differ from woman to woman. The clitoris becomes engorged when aroused by manual or oral stimulation in much the same way as the male penis. This enables the woman to have an orgasm.

Need for Clitoral Hood Reduction

The shape, size and thickness of the clitoral hood varies from female to female. The procedure is not always performed for medical reasons alone. Clitoral hood reduction can also be performed for aesthetic purposes to provide the vulva with a trimmer and neater look.

In certain cases, the clitoral hood can be extremely large. It may inhibit access to the clitoris preventing a woman from achieving sexual gratification. Large or thick hood can cause friction against clothing that can result in redness, soreness, and inflammation.

Women with enlarged clitoral hood often have large labial lips as well that protrude in an unsightly manner. Both the labia and clitoral hood can create obvious bulges if prominent. The outline can be seen against close-fitting outerwear. Women may cosmetically correct a prominent clitoral hood with clitoral hood reduction. They may get a labiaplasty performed at the same time to correct prominent labia.

Clitoral Hood Reduction Procedure

Clitoral hood reduction surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general or local anesthesia with IV sedation. Specialized surgical or laser instruments are used for removing predetermined amounts of superfluous hood tissue. This ensures stimulation and easy accessibility to the clitoris.

The clitoral head is left alone and not modified in any way. Surgeons may perform additional procedures, such as vaginal tightening, hymenoplasty or vaginoplasty if the patient so desires. Clitoral hood reduction is a form of microsurgery. There will be no scars once complete healing is done. Barely visible, tiny incisions will be concealed in the tissue folds around the surgical area.

You may experience slight numbness after the surgery. However, this should subside on its own in a few days. Numbness is not indicative of any damage. In fact, the clitoris will become more sensitive once the effect wears off because of easier accessibility. The procedure doesn’t take more than an hour.

Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery

Female genital plastic surgery is a broad term comprising of several procedures. It includes clitoral hood reduction, labiaplasty, labia majora augmentation, G-spot amplification, vaginoplasty, and hymenoplasty. The last decade has seen an increasing interest in cosmetic genital procedures among women across the country.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven female genital cosmetic surgery procedures to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Understanding Labiaplasty

Most women develop excess labial tissue and enlarged inner or outer labia specifically after childbirth. Large labia can interfere with sexual intercourse and other regular activities. It may also create an unappealing silhouette in certain clothing choices, such as swimsuits and fitness leggings. This can create hygiene challenges, friction, skin infection, and discomfort because of protruding labia.

Concerns Addressed by Labiaplasty

Your concerns to make the labia more natural looking and functional can be addressed with a labiaplasty procedure. It aims to reduce and reshape the labia. Depending on your specific aesthetic goals, your surgeon will make use of varying techniques for providing the best possible results.

Size of labia minora is reduced by the trim technique while the wedge procedure involves removing a tissue wedge from both labia sides. The remaining ends are then stitched together for a seamless appearance.

Understanding Monsplasty

Monsplasty is designed for reducing the bulging appearance of mons by tightening underlying tissues and muscles. Mons pubis is the area between the pubis and the lower abdomen. Women with enlarged mons pubis find it difficult to shop for clothes because of the bulge that may show through. Excessive skin may also interfere with normal urination and vaginal functioning.

Concerns Addressed by Monsplasty

Monsplasty procedure can help you achieve a flatter abdomen leaving you with improved vaginal function and aesthetically pleasing contour. This is done by making a small incision below the bikini through which excess fat is suctioned out. Sagging skin is tightened and sculpted for enhancing the pubic mound.

Vaginal Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic vaginal surgery is performed by altering a regular and functional vagina. Many women want to get a genital-hymenoplasty performed because of social pressures or to experience their virginity again. It is imperative that you have open consultations and discussions with the doctors for ensuring you make an informed decision.

Cosmetic Vaginal Surgery Types

Genital hymenoplasty

This procedure is performed for restoring the hymen to its original state. The hymen can tear because of sexual intercourse, use of tampons, or strenuous physical activity.

G-spot Amplification

Collagen is injected within the vaginal walls for increasing sexual stimulation and pleasure during the procedure.

Reconstructive Vaginal Tightening

Reconstructive surgery is performed for improving bodily functions in certain areas. Generally, reconstructive vaginal surgery in the form of labiaplasty and vaginoplasty is performed in baby girls born with birth defects. This is to allow the child to have normal urinary functioning, sexual pleasure, menstruation cycles and birthing as she gets older.

Genital Enhancements 

There are several options for genital improvements and cosmetic interventions that are available to both women and men. These options are recommended for people that are dissatisfied with their nether regions for one reason or the other. According to 2016 statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) the demand for improvements to the shape and size of outer and inner labia increased by 39% as compared to the previous year.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides safe and proven genital enhancement procedures to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Female Genital Plastic Surgery

Women have several cosmetic surgery options for genital rejuvenation and enhancement. These procedures focus on making their private parts more comfortable or appear aesthetically pleasing. Other procedures are dedicated to improving satisfaction during sexual activity.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a popular genital cosmetic intervention that is performed for increasing the size of inner or both labia. Labia refers to the lips at the vaginal opening. This procedure is performed when one labium is longer than the other one to become aesthetically unpleasing.

It’s also recommended when the size of the labia makes physical activities, including sex painful or uncomfortable because of excessive twisting and tugging of the skin. Genital cosmetic procedure is sought by many women because of functional issues, such as problems with horse riding, exercise, yoga, and cycling.

It is possible for certain clothing, swimwear, and underwear to become uncomfortable as well. Aesthetic concerns may be mentioned by a proportion of these patients. Labiaplasty can be accompanied by clitoral hood reduction, which involves reducing the skin folds that sheathe the clitoris.

This is generally done for improving the appearance of the clitoris following labiaplasty plastic surgery. It can also be done for improving clitoral sensitivity. Women may choose genital intervention for reducing their labia majora through labia majoraplasty. Labia majora is the exterior flap that covers labia minora.

Women may feel discomfort when the labia majora tugs or twists during physical activities as with labia minora. It is possible the women may simply be uncomfortable with the way the labia minora appears.

Genital Surgery for Happiness

Regardless of the reason behind choosing a plastic procedure, the degree of success is largely determined by how satisfied a patient is after the procedure. There is a sizeable gap between the response of women and men.

Results have shown that women generally tend to be better satisfied with the outcome of their genital cosmetic surgery. Overall satisfaction rate of women as per a recent review was ranked at 90 – 95%. Post-operatory sexual satisfaction in the same review was ranked at 80 – 85% for women.

Patient satisfaction after labiaplasty and other female genital rejuvenation procedures is usually very high. There is plenty of medical literature supporting this fact as well. However, you should know that proper consultation is key accompanied by clear discussions about expectations.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation can help you get your groove back on if vaginal dryness and laxity are keeping you away from the sex life you crave for. Tighter vaginas can mean increased pleasure for both partners. Vaginal rejuvenation helps in improving lubrication as well.

Vaginal rejuvenation procedures are of surgical and nonsurgical types. However, they work towards achieving the same goal. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation involves vaginoplasty that works towards tightening vaginal muscles, which may have become loose because of childbirth or aging. It may be done through labiaplasty as well that changes the shape and size of the labia. Few women get a combination of both procedures.

An experienced plastic surgeon may use vaginal rejuvenation and restoration for addressing several issues that may interfere with the patient’s ability to have pleasurable sex. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides vaginal rejuvenation procedures to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Increases Vaginal Sensitivity

One of the reasons you may not enjoy sex is because your vaginal tissues are lax and have lost sensitivity. During menopause, a reduction in the production of estrogen may result in a lack of sexual interest. However, menopause cannot be blamed for all low libidos.

Women may avoid intimacy because they don’t think it feels good anymore. This is where vaginal rejuvenation comes in helpful. Laser therapy is one of the techniques which can offer tremendous results in terms of vaginal rejuvenation. Beams of light are concentrated on the vaginal tissue which causes tiny micro-injuries and kick starts the healing properties.

The end result is an increase in the flow of blood which makes the skin more sensitive and heightens sexual pleasure. A medical laser device strengthens and tightens the vaginal walls as well. This reduces sexual pain during penetration and heightens satisfaction. Sometimes surgeons may use safe and minimally invasive radiofrequency based treatments for vaginal rejuvenation.

Improved Appearance

You may read about childbirth, aging and hormone fluctuations taking a toll on the appearance of the vagina and labia in social media. The physical aesthetic concerns in some cases may be enough to make one self-conscious and prevent them from seeking intimacy.

Vaginal rejuvenation and restoration can go a long way in bringing back the feel and look of the female anatomy by using skin tightening. Your body’s natural elastin and collagen production would be triggered by the micro-ablative laser. These are essential proteins responsible for the texture and structure of the skin.

Better Lubrication

Good and painless sex relies on moisture. Unfortunately, hormones and age rob a woman of the natural lubrication they once had. Dry vagina becomes a painful vagina. While there are always over-the-counter products for creating a smooth and slippery environment, they are only temporary.

Vaginal rejuvenation can restore the moisture you once had. You won’t have to interrupt a romantic moment with your partner to apply cream or gel. This will automatically heighten your sexual arousal and eventual pleasure.

Labiaplasty Surgery

The American Society of Plastic Surgeon (ASPS) began collecting statistics on labiaplasty in 2015 when the growing popularity of this surgery became noticeable. Between 2015 and 2016, the procedure saw an increase of about 40%, with more than 12,000 labiaplasty surgeries performed in 2016.

The ASPS reported that labiaplasty is now the fourth most popular cosmetic surgery in the US after liposuction body contouring, breast implant surgery, and rhinoplasty. The rapid growth and acceptance of labiaplasty is no longer limited to just the US alone.

In Australia, the number of labiaplasty surgeries grew nearly four times over a period of 13 years. In the UK, this trend is even more conspicuous, where labiaplasty procedures increased five years over a 10-year period. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides labiaplasty to patients in Atlanta, Buckhead, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Why More Women Choose Labiaplasty?

A woman’s labia may become elongated due to age and other factors. Once this happens, the surplus tissue can cause obstruction or discomfort while performing normal functions. The protruding labial tissue can make it uncomfortable for a woman to sit on a bicycle seat. Women who enjoy outdoor sports and athletic activities may find elongated labial tissue interfering with their performance.

In a majority of cases, women are seeking labiaplasty purely for cosmetic enhancement purposes. According to the ASPS, some women who perceive their labia minora to be excessively long may become self-conscious about the external aesthetic appearance of their genitalia. As a result, they may experience emotional distress during sexual activity or when they are wearing a bathing suit or a thong.

Results of a Research Study

The Aesthetic Surgery Journal published the results of a research study in 2016. In this study, researchers asked 14 women who had received labiaplasty about what was their motivation to have this procedure. Researchers found that the enhanced aesthetic appearance, sexual wellness, and physical comfort were nearly equally common motivations to seek this surgery. In fact, the ASPS has reported that a large majority of women seeking labiaplasty have fairly practical reasons to choose this surgery.

Increased Awareness about Labiaplasty

Women today have good online access to the latest information about sexual aesthetic procedures and the new surgical techniques that are being used. In the past, most women would only come to know about a procedure such as labiaplasty was through her doctor. Many primary care physicians, in fact, themselves lacked awareness about the surgery.

Now leading plastic surgeons who specialize in labiaplasty have their own websites and blogs to educate women about the benefits of this surgery. Online discussion forums, social media, and interactive sites such as RealSelf are also improving awareness of women about labiplasty. Women can use these free resources to learn about sexual health and aesthetic issues while maintaining their privacy or anonymity.

Once they understand the cosmetic treatment options available to them such as labiaplasty, women can confidently talk to a plastic surgeon during a consultation about their sexual aesthetic needs and goals. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey receives patients from Atlanta, Buckhead, Georgia, and nearby areas for labiaplasty.
