Vaginal Rejuvenation 101: A Top Female Plastic Surgeon Breaks It Down
Some topics feel too private for a group chat, let alone a Google search.
If you’ve ever wondered what vaginal rejuvenation is or whether it might be right for you, you’re not alone. And you’re not the only one who’s hesitated to ask.
At Amavi Aesthetic Surgery in Denver, we believe your questions deserve honest, compassionate answers, especially when they relate to your comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Led by fellowship-trained female plastic surgeon Dr. Aline Rau, our women-owned practice provides a safe and judgment-free space to explore your options with clarity and care.
What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation (also referred to as feminine rejuvenation or labiaplasty) refers to a set of procedures designed to enhance the aesthetics, comfort, and functionality of the genital area. Every woman’s story is different, and yours will be too, but many simply want to feel more confident in their own bodies.
Whether due to childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, or simply personal preference, women often choose vaginal rejuvenation because they are:
Excess tissue leading to irritation from underwear or bathing suits
Discomfort or anxiety during intimacy or exercise
Changes in color
Feeling self-conscious in tight clothing
At Amavi, we specialize in labiaplasty, a surgical option tailored to each woman’s anatomy, goals, and comfort level.
Motherhood and Vaginal Rejuvenation
It’s a common myth that labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation is only for women who have had children. Many women who seek these procedures have never been pregnant. Whether the motivation is physical discomfort, self-consciousness, or a desire to feel more like themselves again, motherhood is not a requirement or a limitation.
Why Women Choose a Female Plastic Surgeon
When it comes to something as personal as vaginal rejuvenation, who you talk to and how you’re made to feel matters just as much as the procedure itself.
Dr. Aline Rau, a female plastic surgeon in Denver, has helped countless women navigate this decision with discretion; she understands that this isn’t always an easy topic to discuss. That’s why your consultation is always one-on-one and paced at your comfort level.
“It’s just easier to talk about this with another woman.”
At Amavi, we get that. Our all-women team creates a space where you can feel safe asking real questions and making choices that feel right for you.
Because when it comes to your body and your confidence, you deserve to feel heard—and in control.
What You’ll Want To Know
-
Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, meaning you remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Aline Rau gently numbs the area with lidocaine in our procedure room. No general anesthesia or full sedation is required in most cases.
-
Swelling and bruising are completely normal and tend to subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to light activities quickly, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise and sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks to allow for proper healing. After six weeks, there are typically no restrictions.
-
Because every woman’s anatomy is uniquely personal, we don’t maintain a gallery of before-and-after images for labiaplasty like we might for other procedures. Instead, Dr. Aline Rau takes a more individualized approach by focusing on open conversation, patient comfort, and even sketching if needed to help guide expectations. If you have a reference in mind, we welcome it as part of your consultation.
-
Most sexual stimulation comes from the clitoral area, which is not altered or operated on during surgery. Labiaplasty does not interfere with sensation, arousal, or the ability to orgasm.
