Perineal Reconstruction Surgery in White Plains, NY

Understanding Perineoplasty

The perineum is the delicate area between the vagina and anus. Childbirth can often cause significant tissue damage, leading to potential long-term discomfort and functional challenges. Perineoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to repair and restore the perineal region's anatomical structure.

Common Reasons for Perineoplasty

Patients may consider perineoplasty for various medical and cosmetic reasons, including:

• Extensive childbirth-related tearing that hasn't healed properly
• Reduced sexual sensation due to vaginal laxity
• Persistent vaginal itching
• Painful insertion or "trigger points"
• Ongoing discomfort following childbirth
• Need for episiotomy revision

Ideal Candidates for Perineoplasty

Westchester Surgical Arts recommends perineoplasty for patients who:

• Experience one or more perineal health concerns
• Are in overall good health
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit before and after surgery

Surgical Procedure Details

During a perineoplasty, surgeons make a precise incision at the vaginal opening to remove excess tissue. The procedure aims to reduce the vaginal opening's size and repair supportive muscular tissues, ultimately restoring normal anatomical structure.

Surgical Recovery Guidelines

Perineoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure lasting approximately one hour. Post-surgical recommendations include:

• Abstaining from sexual activity for six to eight weeks
• Avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting
• Using a donut cushion when sitting
• Carefully following all medical instructions

Expected Results

Patients can anticipate restored perineal anatomy, reduced discomfort, and potentially enhanced sexual sensation. Results often become noticeable immediately following the procedure. Perineoplasty can also be combined with complementary procedures like vaginoplasty or labiaplasty.
