A Feeling of Femininity

What is the Cosmetic Gynecology procedure like?

At Unfiltered Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that considering cosmetic gynecology procedures can involve questions and anxieties. Cosmetic Gynecology Hinsdale surgeon, Dr. Alford, will provide detailed information and answer your specific questions during your consultation. Here's a breakdown of what to expect for each procedure:

Labiaplasty

Consultation: Dr. Alford will discuss your concerns, desired outcome, and medical history. He'll examine the labia minora and explain the procedure in detail, addressing any questions you may have.

The Procedure: Performed in a state-of-the-art surgical suite, labiaplasty typically involves local anesthesia. Dr. Alford meticulously marks and trims excess tissue from the labia minora, ensuring a symmetrical and natural appearance. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.

Recovery: You can expect some swelling and discomfort for a few days, manageable with medication and cold compresses. Most Hinsdale labiaplasty patients can resume light activities within a day or two, with a full recovery within 1-2 weeks.

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Consultation: Similar to labiaplasty, Dr. Alford will discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. He'll examine the clitoral hood and explain the procedure, addressing any questions.

The Procedure: Often performed alongside labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction uses local anesthesia. Dr. Alford precisely removes excess tissue from the clitoral hood, maximizing clitoral exposure while maintaining its natural function. Dissolvable sutures close the incisions.

Recovery: You can expect similar recovery to labiaplasty, with swelling and discomfort subsiding within days. Most patients resume light activities within a day or two and full recovery within 1-2 weeks.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Consultation: Dr. Alford will discuss your concerns related to vaginal laxity, dryness, or incontinence. He'll perform a pelvic exam and discuss treatment options tailored to your specific needs. This might involve laser therapy, injectable fillers, or radiofrequency treatments.

The Procedure: Depending on the chosen treatment, vaginal rejuvenation can be performed in-office with minimal discomfort. Laser therapy uses targeted energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening vaginal tissues and improving lubrication. Fillers can be injected to restore volume and address mild incontinence. Radiofrequency treatments use heat to achieve similar results.

Recovery: Vaginal rejuvenation procedures are minimally invasive with minimal to no downtime. You may experience some temporary discomfort, but most patients resume normal activities immediately.

Comfort and Beauty

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Vaginal Rejuvenation
