Vaginal Rejuvenation
At a Glance
Are you concerned about the way your vagina looks and feels? Do you want improvements both internally and externally? A vaginal rejuvenation may be the answer.
Are you looking for other gynaecological procedures? You may also be interested in vaginoplasty, labiaplasty or clitoral hood reduction.
Anaesthesia type: ClearSleep™ Procedure time: 2 - 3 hours Recovery time: 2-3 daysAbout
Changes to the appearance of the vagina can occur as we naturally age, or as a result of life events such as pregnancy or childbirth. Fortunately, vaginal rejuvenation can improve not only the aesthetic appearance but also the function and sensation of the vagina.
A vaginal rejuvenation is the combination of numerous surgical procedures which works to tone both the internal vaginal muscles and the perineum. This procedure can also alter the aesthetic appearance of the external genitalia by shortening the labia.
Candidates
You will be considered a good candidate for vaginal rejuvenation if you:
- Dislike the appearance and function of the labia and vagina
- Have lost muscle tone in the vagina
- Feel any discomfort or have a loss of sensitivity
- Have had the appearance and functionality of the vagina altered as a result of childbirth
You may wish to consider having this procedure once you are sure you will have no future pregnancies. Having another child after the procedure may alter the results and you may need further procedures in the future.
Procedure
A vaginal rejuvenation will happen under a general anaesthetic known as ClearSleep™. This means you will not be awake for the duration of the procedure. ClearSleep™ varies from other general anaesthetics as it does not rely on any breathing machines or tubes. You will also wake up quickly after the procedure and experience a heightened sense of wellness.
The vaginal rejuvenation includes joining the stretched muscles from the back of the vagina together. This is done using dissolvable stitches. This allows for the vaginal cavity to be decreased in size, therefore increasing friction.
The external genitalia can be reshaped using precise dissection techniques. This will shorten and reshape and unwanted tissue from the labia majora. This can help to improve the aesthetic appearance and comfort of the labia. This procedure can be performed on its own and is known as a labiaplasty.
The procedure should take about two hours to complete. This will vary depending on if you are having just internal or both internal and external surgery. You will be able to return home on the same day, once the effects of the anaesthetic have worn off.
Recovery
After the vaginal rejuvenation, it is normal to experience some redness, bruising and swelling around the procedure area. This may last up to one to two weeks. You may experience some pain and discomfort, particularly in the first few days. To relieve this, you can apply an ice pack to the area, which will help with any pain and swelling. You may also wish to take pain medication. Any pain will only last a few days.
If you had non-dissolvable stitches, these will be removed one week after surgery.
You will need to take at least one week off work to fully recover; however, some people feel the need to take two weeks off work. How long you need to take off work will vary depending on what type of job you do and your level of comfort.
You will need to avoid any exercise and sexual intercourse for six weeks.

We searched for many different surgeries to perform my procedure but the center for surgery really stuck out. The staff were incredibly friendly and the receptionist Gregory and surgeon Omar were highly professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Old implants removed and replaced, plus silicone granules removed from right armpit. My previous surgery was done over 20 years ago. (I never really had any breast tissue, so I had the implants to look normal). One implant had erupted and both had capsulated. I was never told they had a shelf life! When I first arrived at the clinic in Watford, ( I never went to th Harley St surgery) I was quite dubious about the whole set-up. The Surgery is right in the middle of a Business Site and it seemed like some sort of Back Street Butchery. (I hope this review will put people's minds at rest when they first arrive) It actually didn't help much that I had to wait an hour because the surgery that day had overrun, however, after talking to Omar Tillo and seeing how clued up he was on my situation, I began to relax. It didn't stop me going on-line to Google him and everything else about the practice, but it was all good. On the day of the surgery, I met with Mr Tillo again. I also met everyone else who was going to be in theatre with me and they all came to me individually to explain their roll. It was very comforting and reassuring. The surgery was quite lengthy and took several hours. I hadn't decided what size implants to go for pre surgery as my old ones were so distorted and out of place, so I left it with Mr Tillo to make the decision once the others had been removed. It is now 3 weeks since the implants were replaced and I am delighted with how I look and feel. The size and shape are perfect for me. Nothing weird or huge; I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so am not looking for glamour, just normality. The post surgery is superb. My coordinator, Naz, is very efficient and can't do enough for me. The incision in my armpit where the silicone particles had to be removed is probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure, but most of you won't have to worry about that. I got a sick note for work purposes without any fuss at all, so over all; worth every penny! Don't let your first impressions put you off :-) Good luck.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks and 4 days ago. It is something I had been considering for a whilst now that I have completed my family. Also the excess skin and fat was getting me down. I went to another consultation in Harley Street which was 15 mins where the Dr examined me and told me he could do the work and his secretary than called me with the price, it was very rushed. I found Dr Tillo searching the net and after reading his reviews I called his office and spoke with Naz, she was very friendly, explained their procedures and arranged an appointment for me to meet with him. I met Dr Tillo in his Watford clinic, I felt at ease with him straight away. Dr Tillo examined me and than explained what the procedure would involve. I had a few questions and he was very patient and explained everything fully and clearly, I never felt rushed at all.On the day of my operation I was excited. Dr Tillo’s staff were All lovely and so was the anethesist who explained everything and next thing I knew I was asleep. When I woke up it didn’t even feel as if though I had had an operation! My husband picked me up , I was given pain killers and it was explained that I would need to keep my compression belt on and drains would be removed after two days.I went home a very happy lady!!!As days have passed I have healed very well with no complications, I am so pleased with my new tummy, I know it’s good esp since my 3 year old doesn’t think there’s a baby in there anymore!I cannot Thank Dr Tillo and his staff enough!!

Dr Tillo and his team are fantastic. Nothing has been too much for them!!I was told my tummy tuck would cost £17,000 at one clinic and £13,000 at another. It was considerably cheaper here. I'm not one to go for 'the cheaper options usually, as I tend to think you would get a cheaper result. But Dr Tillo pointed out that I didn't need all the work doing that the other places had said I did!! They were using my body to make money! Due to his honesty, and his non judgemental view, I left feeling confident that he was the man I needed.I am only a week out and thrilled to bits with my result so far. I can't recommend them enough.
