Involves making a V-shaped incision on the inside of the upper or lower lips and then pulling them together.

Lip Ptosis

Lip Size

A V-Y mucosal advancement of the lip is a procedure that adds volume to the lip without the use of dermal fillers. Instead, the natural lip tissue is plumped by making incisions on the inside of the lip, and then, suturing the incisions together tighter than it was originally. This crowds existing lip tissue together inside the treated lip, resulting in more volume and vermillion definition. This procedure is commonly used to increase a lip’s vertical height and to increase lip volume. It is performed with local anesthesia and causes very little downtime in most patients.

Incisions during a V-Y lip advancement are made inside the mouth and therefore cause no visible scarring in most patients. In some cases, autologous fat transfer or other dermal fillers are used to increase lip volume further. This procedure is safe and causes few side effects in most patients. Mild to moderate discomfort, tightness, and swelling are typical for a few days post-op. However, most patients are able to return to non-strenuous work and activities the next day. The procedure typically costs between $4,000-$6,000 per lip, depending on several patient specific factors.

Result Notes

A V-Y mucosal advancement of the lip is a surgical procedure that reshapes the lips for a plumper appearance. Here is a quick guide for what to expect before, during, and after a V-Y mucosal advancement of the lip.

A V-Y mucosal advancement of the lip is a surgical procedure that involves making a V-shaped incision on the inside of the upper or lower lips, and then, pulling and suturing them together. As the V-shaped incision is closed from one end with stitches, it takes on the shape of a Y. This mucosal reshaping results in plumper lips without the use of dermal fillers. This safe outpatient procedure is popular for candidates with thin or drooping lips. Costs range between $4,000-$6,000 per lip.

Enhance the appearance and functions of the vagina through tightening or incontinence correction.

Restores the hymen, which covers the opening of the vagina. Usually done for religious or cultural purposes.

The hymen is a membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. The shape and appearance of the hymen will vary between women but is typically a half moon shape at the bottom of the vaginal opening. A hymen can be broken or torn at different times during a woman’s life, whether caused by tampon insertion, exercise, or sexual intercourse. Minor bleeding is commonly associated with the breaking of the hymen. In some cultures and religions, an intact hymen is associated with a woman’s virginity. A hymenoplasty, sometimes referred to as hymenorrhaphy or hymen construction surgery, is usually performed for cultural or religious reasons prior to marriage. Others seek the surgery as a form of therapy after sexual assault. No matter the reason for having the hymen restored, the surgery can be completed in less than an hour under local anesthesia with immediately visible results. 

During surgery, the patient will only require a local anesthesia but may be given a sedative for comfort throughout the procedure. The patient will lay comfortably on a table with the pegs spread apart. The hymen will be identified and partially excised to eliminate uneven tissue from previous tearing. The hymen will be sutured together in two layers using dissolvable stitches. For some women, a small piece of tissue from another part of the vagina may need to be grafted to the vaginal opening to recreate the hymen.

Hymenoplasty

A hymenoplasty, also known as a hymen restoration or hymen repair, is a plastic surgery procedure to restore the hymen, a membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening.

Gives instant volume to the labia majora for a more youthful appearance and more confidence for the patient.

Labia augmentation, sometimes referred to as labial puffing, is a procedure that adds volume to the labia majora for a youthful appearance. The natural aging process causes collagen production to slow down, causing wrinkled and drooping skin all over the body—the vagina being no exception. Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can also cause volume loss in the labia.

 Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm can be injected for an instant improvement in the size of the labia. It is common for labia augmentation to be combined with other vaginal rejuvenation treatments such as laser or radiofrequency tightening. During this simple procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the labia for patient comfort. Dermal filler will be injected into the labia at various points and depths for a natural look. Following treatment, results will be noticeable immediately and patients will be able to resume all normal activity.

Labia Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

A labia augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers is a cosmetic procedure to enhance the volume and appearance of the vulva.

Reduces and tightens sagging skin and tissue of the area above the genitals in men and women.

The mons pubis, also referred to as the pubic mound, is the fatty area above the genitals in both men and women. The fatty tissue in this area protects the pubic bone and joint from injury, which are located directly behind the mons pubis. When this area becomes enlarged due to weight gain, pregnancy, or childbirth, it can be uncomfortable and affect the individual beyond aesthetic concerns. When the mons pubis begins to sag, it can interfere with urination and sex, as well as how clothes fit. When diet and exercise do not improve the size or sagging of the pubic area, a monsplasty may be able to necessary to correct the issue. 

Monsplasty, sometimes referred to as a pubic lift, can either be performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation depending on the extent of the procedure. If a minimal amount of tissue is being removed, only local sedation may be necessary, however, if the procedure is more involved or is being combined with a more invasive surgery such as a tummy tuck, general anesthesia will be required. If needed, a liposuction procedure will be performed to remove excess fatty tissue to improve contours postoperatively. A horizontal incision will be made at the upper edge of the pubic region below the navel. Underlying muscles will be raised and tightened to create a firmer, more defined pubic area. Excess skin will then be removed and the pubic skin will be pulled upwards into its new position. Sutures and skin adhesive will be used to close the incision.

Monsplasty

A monsplasty is a plastic surgery procedure to enhance the appearance of the mons pubis, the fatty area above the genitals in men and women.

Can be injected around the clitoris and within the vagina to increase sensitivity and sexual pleasure.

Platelet rich plasma is derived from patient blood and is rich in growth platelets. PRP has been used to treat a variety of issues including hair loss, acne scarring, wrinkles, as well as sexual health issues. The O-Shot is an injection of PRP into the vaginal walls, clitoris, or clitoral hood. The PRP injection encourages blood flow and cell growth to the area and can increase sensitivity during sex. 

Before treatment, blood will be drawn from the patient’s arm and placed within a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma from the red blood cells. Once prepared, the PRP will be injected around various erogenous zones such as the clitoris and inner vaginal walls. Once the injection is complete, the patient will be able to resume all normal activity, including sexual intercourse. There may be a feeling of fullness within the vagina which should gradually resolve over the course of 1-3 days. Although PRP is approved by the FDA for certain uses, PRP is not approved for use in improving sexual health.

An O-Shot procedure involves injections of platelet rich plasma into various erogenous zones to increase sexual desire, sensitivity, and pleasure.

Tighten the inner and outer structures of the vagina for a younger, firmer appearance along with improved lubrication.

The natural aging process can cause the vagina to become loose and sag. After vaginal delivery, the inner and outer structures of the vagina can also become lax and cause bladder control issues. Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a noninvasive procedure to enhance the appearance of the vagina as well as improve health issues such as moisture and incontinence. Much like vaginal rejuvenation with radio frequency energy, laser rejuvenation can be applied to both the inner and outer vaginal area. Laser rejuvenation though, is more ablative and will require a period of time to abstain from sex, typically no longer than 7 days. Popular brands of laser vaginal rejuvenation include diVa, MonaLisa Touch, FemTouch, and FemiLift.

During the treatment session the patient will lay comfortably on a table throughout the procedure, experiencing little more than a warming sensation from the hand piece. Patients will not require any anesthesia or numbing creams for this procedure. The treatment hand piece, which is a rod with a laser energy emitting tip, is inserted into the vagina. The hand piece is rotated and slowly retracted to ensure 360° contact with the vaginal canal. The hand piece can also be applied to the outer labia to treat sagging skin. Treatment sessions last between 10-20 minutes. Patients will be able to return to all normal activity immediately after treatment with the exception of penetrative vaginal sex.

Vaginal Rejuvenation with Laser Energy

A vaginal rejuvenation with laser treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure to tighten the internal and external vaginal area.

Enhances the size or shape of the outer lips of the vagina through a fat transfer to create a youthful appearance.

Vaginal rejuvenation addresses a number of sexual health concerns from internal laxity to sagging skin and incontinence. Another concern that occurs with age is volume loss in the labia. Aging decreases collagen production causing sagging and wrinkled skin all over the body, including the vulva. Labia augmentation, or labial puffing, can increase the size of the labia majora for a younger, more rejuvenated appearance.  Labia augmentation can be achieved with dermal filler, however, fat grafting is an alternative option that can have longer lasting results. 

The first step of a labia augmentation with fat transfer procedure is performing liposuction in order to harvest the fat. Liposuction is typically performed on the stomach, thighs, or hips, although fat can be harvested from anywhere on the body with excess fat deposits. In order to ensure that the maximum amount of fat takes to the labia, the doctor will first clean the fat, purifying it of any cellular debris. The final step is to inject the fat into the labia. Using specialized, small syringes, the doctor will inject the fat into the labia at varying depths and in very small increments. By evenly placing the fat across the labia, the most amount of fat will survive. The labia may appear larger than desired after injection since the doctor will slightly overcompensate for some expected fat absorption.

Labia Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Labia augmentation with fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure to enhance the volume and aesthetic of the vulva.

Tightens the inner and outer vaginal area using FT energy to stimulate collagen production to firm sagging skin.

Women can experience inner and outer vaginal laxity due to a number of reasons, most commonly being pregnancy and age related issues. During childbirth, the vaginal canal stretches to accommodate a baby but will shrink back to its smaller size, although some women may feel their vagina is still “loose” or relaxed. With age, women may experience a drooping of the outer labia as collagen production slows and the skin becomes elongated. Radiofrequency (RF) energy can help to tighten lax skin and muscles for a younger appearance while also helping internal muscles to tighten. RF treatments can also help improve incontinence issues. Popular RF vaginal rejuvenation brands include ThermiVa, Geneveve, and Votiva. 

RF vaginal rejuvenation is non-invasive and does not require any numbing or anesthesia for the patient. The patient will lay comfortably on a table for the duration of the 15-30 minute treatment with the legs spread apart. The hand piece, which is a thin probe with an RF energy emitting tip, will be inserted into the vagina and gently moved back and forth, gradually getting up tissue. The hand piece can also be applied to the outer labia. Most patients only experience a tolerable, warming sensation and are able to resume all normal activity, including sex, the day of treatment. There is no downtime or recovery associated with the procedure.

Vaginal Rejuvenation with Radiofrequency

A vaginal rejuvenation with radiofrequency is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure to tighten the inner and outer vaginal area.

Monalisa Touch stimulates natural vaginal mucosa cells to create notable vaginal rejuvenation.

Monalisa Touch is a laser energy system that uses a hand piece inserted into the vaginal canal to deliver fractional CO2 laser energy directly to the soft tissues. The Monalisa Touch laser improves laxity and promotes new collagen growth in vaginal tissue. The vaginal laser can alleviate vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, urinary incontinence, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), and overall vaginal health.

Targets the G-spot with hyaluronic acid injections to enhance sexual pleasure through increased vaginal sensitivity.

Procedures and treatments for women’s sexual health are becoming increasingly popular and readily available. From radio frequency treatments to tighten vaginal walls, to labiaplasty procedures, more and more options are accessible to treat a variety of women’s sexual health issues. Women who have difficulty achieving an orgasm may benefit from the G-Shot procedure. The G-Shot procedure injects hyaluronic acid into the Grafenberg spot, more commonly referred to as the “G-spot”. The G-spot is a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall that some women enjoy having stimulated during sexual activity. Injecting hyaluronic acid within the G-spot is intended to increase the sensitivity of the area, making it easier to achieve an orgasm. 

During treatment, the woman will lay on a table with legs in stirrups, similar to when receiving a Pap smear. The doctor, typically a gynecologist, will do a pelvic exam to determine the location of the G-spot with the patient’s assistance. A special speculum will be inserted into the vagina to inject a local anesthetic to the vaginal wall. Based on the pelvic exam, the hyaluronic acid will then be injected into the location of the G-spot. The typical products used for G-Shot include Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm. A tampon may be worn after the procedure to prevent any spot bleeding from the needle injections. Normal sexual activity can be resumed 4 hours after treatment.

Reduces the length and projection of the skin around the clitoris, typically for enhancing stimulation during sex.

The clitoris is a small, sensitive area on the upper portion of the vulva that some women find pleasurable to stimulate during sexual activity. With age, pregnancy, childbirth, and fluctuations in weight, the skin surrounding the clitoris can become elongated, covering the clitoris and reducing sensitivity. For some women, an enlarged clitoral hood can be uncomfortable when wearing tighter clothing or exercising. Other patients are born with a clitoral hood that keeps the clitoris hidden, making it difficult to stimulate. A clitoral hood reduction reduces the size of the skin surrounding the clitoris for increased comfort, enhanced stimulation, and improved aesthetics. 

During the procedure, patients will only require a local anesthetic but may be given an oral sedative for increased comfort. The patient will lay comfortable on a table with the legs spread apart. The incisions will vary from patient to patient depending on the goals of the surgery. If the patient’s anatomy only requires a greater exposure of the clitoris with no skin excision, an incision will be made to in the center of the clitoral hood, extending the length of the prepuce and lateral folds of the vagina. If a clitoral hood reduction is being performed in conjunction with a labiaplasty, the incisions for the labiaplasty may simply be extended into a “Y” shape to reduce redundant skin above the clitoris. Other patients may only require skin excision to reveal a hidden clitoris. Dissolvable sutures will be used during the procedure. Most patients are able to resume normal activity within a few days and penetrative sex within 1 month.

Clitoral Hood Reduction

A clitoral hood reduction (a.k.a. a hoodectomy) is a plastic surgery procedure to reduce the tissue around the clitoris for aesthetic and/or functional concerns.

This procedure reshapes and tightens the area between the vaginal opening and anus to better sexual activity.

During childbirth, it is common for women to experience a tearing or purposeful cutting of the perineum which is the area between the vaginal opening and the anus for easier delivery. This tearing of the perineum can cause a widening of the perineum which some women find aesthetically unpleasing. A teared perineum can also cause scarring which can make subsequent deliveries difficult and make vaginal sex uncomfortable. For women who desire a tighter appearance to the perineum for either aesthetic or health reasons, a perineoplasty, also called a perineorrhaphy, can be performed.

A perineoplasty typically only requires local anesthesia and is done on an outpatient basis. Patients may be prescribed a sedative for improved comfort throughout the procedure. The patient will be positioned on a table with the legs spread. The incisions done during a perineoplasty will vary depending on the needs of the patient and may include additional procedures such as a vaginoplasty or labiaplasty. The procedure may be performed with either a traditional scalpel or with lasers. Typically, incisions will be made in a V-shaped pattern within the vaginal mucosa. Excess skin and any scar tissue is excised. The vaginal levator muscles are tightened. Internal and external closure of the vaginal mucous and perineal muscles are performed to achieve a tighter appearance and function of the perineum. Results are noticeable immediately after the 30-45 minute procedure.

Vaginal rejuvenation is a term that describes a number of different procedures that enhance either the appearance or the function of the vagina. From tightening treatments to incontinence correction, vaginal rejuvenation procedures can benefit women in a number of different ways both aesthetically and for health reasons.

Vaginal rejuvenation is where women’s sexual health meets aesthetic medicine, and there are an array of treatment option

Reduces the size of the labia majora, minora, or both by removing excess skin and tissue from the vulva.

Due to aging, pregnancy, childbirth, or weight fluctuations, women may experience a lengthening of the inner or outer labia. When the labia majora or minora become elongated, it can cause a woman to be self conscious about the appearance of her vulva. Excess hanging skin can also become uncomfortable when wearing tighter clothing or cause pain when exercising. A labiaplasty procedure reduces the size of either the labia majora or minora for increased comfort and improved aesthetics. 

A labiaplasty only requires a local anesthetic. There is no need for general anesthesia during the surgery however some patients may require an oral sedative for maximum comfort throughout the procedure. The patient will lay comfortable on a table with the legs spread apart. Depending on the needs of the patient, there are 2 popular methods for a labiaplasty: trim or wedge. The trim method simply removes extra tissue from the labia. The wedge method removes a pie-shaped piece of tissue from the labia and advances the edges of the tissue together, tightening and shrinking the length of the labia. It is common for a labiaplasty procedure to be combined with other vaginal rejuvenation treatments such as a perineoplasty, vaginoplasty, or clitoral hood reduction. Closure is complete with dissolvable sutures.

Labiaplasty

A labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure to reduce the size of the labia majora and/or labia minora.

A surgical procedure that tightens the vaginal canal and reshapes the vaginal opening.

Vaginoplasty procedures are surgical treatments to enhance vaginal tightness. The vagina is designed to stretch during childbirth, however, some women feel as though their vaginal canal and opening never retract back to its original size and shape. Some women experience vaginal loosening with age and feel uncomfortable wearing tampons or engaging in sexual activity. A vaginoplasty addresses both excess skin and muscle laxity to improve the look and appearance of the vagina. It is common for this surgery to be combined with other vaginal rejuvenation procedures such as a perineoplasty, labiaplasty, or clitoral hood reduction.

During surgery the patient will be under general anesthesia although it is possible to perform the procedure under local anesthesia with a sedative. The patient will lie comfortably on a table with the legs spread apart. Excess skin will be removed at the opening of the vagina based on preoperative discussions with the patient. The vaginal mucosa will then be separated from the vaginal muscles. The vaginal muscles will then be brought together, similar to the techniques used during a tummy tuck, tightening the vaginal canal. The muscles at the vaginal opening will then be tightened, closing a relaxed vaginal opening. Dissolvable internal and external sutures will be used to close incisions. Visible results are noticeable immediately after surgery although patients will need to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in any sexual activity.

Vaginoplasty

A vaginoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure to tighten the vaginal canal and reshape the vaginal opening.

Creates the youthful, rejuvenating effects of a facelift without actual surgery by using PRP extracted blood.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Facial Skin Laxity

The vampire facelift creates a youthful and rejuvenated appearance to the skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. By using healing and growth properties housed inside your own blood alongside a dermal filler, patients will enjoy a more youthful, tighter skin appearance. A vampire facelift ranges in cost from $1,000- $2,500. 

The key ingredient derived from the patient’s blood that forms the basis of the vampire facelift is a platelet-rich fibrin matrix. This property, when mixed with other ingredients, can create a natural serum that boosts collagen production, blood supply and can aid in triggering skin regrowth and fatty tissue regeneration. The procedure begins by collecting a small amount of blood from the patient’s arm. The platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is then separated through use of a centrifuge. Then the PRP is combined with hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm to create the platelet-rich fibrin matrix or PRFM. The patient’s face is then numbed through the use of a topical cream and then the gel is injected directly into multiple areas of the face.

There are several variations of a facelift procedure, or rhytidectomy, each tailored to meet specific skin needs and desired results. After assessing your skin and determining your unique needs, your surgeon will recommend a procedure that will address your individual concerns. The goal of each facelift technique is to essentially “lift up” portions of the face and neck that are showing unwanted signs of aging through the use of plastic surgery, thread lift surgery, or dermal filler injections.

A prescription cream to reduce unwanted facial hair and works during the growth stage of the hair cycle.

Unwanted Hair

Vaniqa is available by prescription to reduce unwanted facial hair in women. Unlike chemical depilatory creams which dissolve the hair follicle structure, Vaniqa helps to slow down hair growth and needs to be used in conjunction with other hair removal processes such as shaving or tweezing. 

Vaniqa is typically applied twice daily with at least 8 hours between each application. Vaniqa is only indicated for use on the face and chin. Do not apply the cream on other areas of the body. Before using the product, remove any unwanted facial hair using your preferred method of hair removal. Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes between shaving or tweezing before applying Vaniqa. Wash hands before and after use. Apply a thin layer of cream to areas with unwanted facial hair, completely rub in the product and leave on for 4 hours. Once the medicine dries, cosmetics and sunscreen can be applied as normal. Only use Vaniqa as directed.

Vaniqa

Rid yourself of any unsightly and unwanted body hair you may have on several regions of your body.

Hair Removal

As natural as it may be, for most women (and many men), society has long considered body hair to be unsightly, shameful, and even taboo. While a full head of lush, beautiful hair is ideal for both men and women, the opposite is true when it comes to the rest of our bodies. In fact, while hair loss is a huge concern when it comes to the hair on our heads, our society goes to great lengths to remove body hair completely—or at least to keep it well under control, and has done so for decades.

Utilizes a small tube and fluid known as sclerosing agent to irritate the vein causing it to be reabsorbed by the body.

Telangiectasias, more commonly referred to as spider veins, are clusters of blood vessels that are close to the surface of the skin. Spider veins can occur anywhere on the body but typically appear as red and blue webs on the legs and face. This condition is not usually associated with a more severe health condition, but can be aesthetically displeasing especially for those with pale skin. Although the exact cause of spider veins is unknown, it is believed that certain heredity preconditions, pregnancy, trauma, aging, sun damage, and hormonal influences can contribute to their development. While it may be difficult to determine their exact cause, for those who desire a simple procedure that can instantly dissolve these unsightly veins, sclerotherapy is the solution

Sclerotherapy is an in-office procedure that “dissolves” spider veins almost instantly. This procedure is ideal for patients who do not have bulging varicose veins. Varicose veins will require a more in-depth procedure such as ambulatory phlebotomy or endovenous laser treatment. During sclerotherapy treatment, a solution is injected into the vein causing it to collapse and eventually die. The most common agents used in sclerotherapy are hypertonic saline, sodium tetradecyl sulfate, polidocanol, and chromated glycerin. While results can be visually seen almost instantly, final results are determined after several weeks, once the veins have died.

Once it has been determined that the spider veins are not an indicator of a more serious health concern and any larger varicose veins have been successfully treated, sclerotherapy can be performed on smaller surface veins. The patient will lay comfortably on a table while the treatment area is cleansed. Next, a tiny needle will be used to inject the veins with the sclerosing agent. Injections are made every 2-3cm until the entire vein cluster has been cleared. The provider may apply manual pressure to the treatment area to spread out the sclerosing agent. When the treatment is complete, injection sites may be covered with bandages or compression stockings may be worn.
