What is "Cosmetic Gynecology"?

Cosmetic Gynecology is a general term that refers to the surgical and non-surgical enhancement of the internal and external female genital areas.  Although the term "cosmetic" is routinely used to describe these procedures, at Women's Surgery & Aesthetics Center we believe that "restorative" is a more appropriate term.  We feel this way because various normal developmental and physiologic processes,  cultural practices, obstetrical trauma and other traumatic events can all lead to changes and differences in the internal and external female genital organs that can cause pain, disfigurement, overgrowth, loosening, sagging, diminished sexual response, decreased sensitivity and unnecessary aversion to sexual activity.  Urinary and fecal incontinence are also some of the more common unfortunate results of obstetrical trauma and other causes.  These conditions can cause extreme social embarrassment that may cause some women to be afraid to even leave the house or participate in social activities.  There are several procedures and treatments available at Women's Surgery & Aesthetics Center that can restore the internal and external female genitalia to a form and function that may lead to decreased pain with physical and sexual activity, increased sensation with intimacy and improved body image and self confidence.
