Perineoplasty is a cosmetic surgery to repair the perineum, or area between the vagina and anus. After birth, the perineum can be severely scarred, stretched, or torn. This is usually the result of a difficult vaginal delivery (dystocia), resulting in a episiotomy and/or tearing during delivery. In these cases, Drs. Kimble may recommend complimentary treatments to fully heal and repair the area.
This area may also incur additional changes with aging, such as muscle weakness, further stretching, or separation. Perineoplasty can repair this damage and restore the central area of support for the vagina.
