Perineal Reconstruction

Perineal Reconstruction, also known as Perineoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing and strengthening the perineum—the area between the vagina and the anus. This surgery is often sought by women who have experienced perineal trauma due to childbirth, injury, or previous surgeries. The goal is to restore both function and appearance, enhancing quality of life and comfort.

What to Expect

Before the Procedure: A thorough consultation will be conducted to assess your medical history, discuss your concerns, and determine the best surgical approach. Preoperative instructions may include avoiding certain medications and arranging for post-surgery support.

During the Procedure: The surgery typically lasts 1–2 hours and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make precise incisions to remove scar tissue or excess skin and repair underlying muscles. The area is then sutured to enhance strength and appearance.

After the Procedure: Patients may experience swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Recovery time varies, but most individuals can resume normal activities within 6–8 weeks, following postoperative care guidelines.
