Discover how you can shape your intimate wellness with thoughtfully implemented gynecological surgery.
Gender-Affirming Care
When your reproductive organs do not align with who you are, it can take a toll on your mental and physical health. At our practice, our compassionate providers offer gender-affirming care with an FTM hysterectomy and oophorectomy.
Using the agreed-upon surgical techniques, your expert surgeon can remove the ovaries and uterus in a single procedure, minimizing your incisions and recovery time. Following surgery, your provider guides you through recovery and hormone replacement therapy as needed to further support your health journey.
This procedure can bring inner harmony, enabling many patients to finally feel at home within their bodies.
Hysterectomy
Whether for preventative care or active health management, our doctors can perform a hysterectomy to relieve patients’ experiences with:
- Uterine fibroids
- Pelvic pain
- Endometriosis
- Prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Uterine prolapse
- Cervical dysplasia
- Adenomyosis
- Gender dysphoria
A hysterectomy involves removing the uterus completely. Based on your consultation, your surgeon will determine whether to perform your hysterectomy vaginally, abdominally, laparoscopically, or with robotic assistance. Your caring team administers general anesthesia in the operating room before your surgeon uses the agreed-upon surgical technique to access and remove your uterus.
Depending on your incision type, your provider can conclude your procedure within 2 to 4 hours, closing the tissue with dissolvable stitches. For many patients, this form of gynecology surgery in Cleveland brings lasting relief from painful, uncomfortable symptoms.
Labial Puff
The look and feel of your vulva is unique to you. For some women, however, the appearance of the labia majora can disrupt confidence or create discomfort.
Patients might seek a labial puff to treat:
- Uneven labia
- Drooping or flattening of the labia
- Inadequate vaginal lubrication
- Discomfort during intimacy
- Changes in anatomy caused by childbirth
- Vaginal atrophy associated with menopause
To begin this in-office procedure, we draw a small blood sample and isolate the platelet-rich plasma using a centrifuge. We alternately heat and cool the PRP concentrate to thicken its consistency. This enhances the PRP serum’s volume and activates the enriching growth factors in your blood platelets.
After preparing your PRP injection, your provider administers local anesthesia so you can relax throughout the treatment. Then, your physician injects the thickened PRP into the desired areas of the labia majora to enhance symmetry and volume.
The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes as your physician gently sculpts the labia. Many patients resume light activity later that same day, feeling more comfortable and confident after the PRP injections.
Labiaplasty
Some patients pursue a labiaplasty to target:
- Unwanted labial tissue
- Enlarged, elongated, or asymmetrical labia
- A hooded clitoris
- Discomfort during physical activity
- Pinching when wearing tight clothing or undergarments
- Uncomfortable sex
- Low confidence or self-image
During this in-office gynecology surgery in Cleveland, your skilled surgeon starts by administering anesthesia. They expertly remove unwanted tissue around the inner and outer labia, reshaping the folds to establish symmetry.
The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, after which your physician closes the strategically placed incisions with dissolvable sutures.
Many patients find relief from self-consciousness and physical pain after a labiaplasty, and they are finally able to enjoy exercise, intercourse, and any style of clothing in comfort.
Oophorectomy
Gynecological health conditions affect thousands of women each year. Many patients seek an oophorectomy, or ovary removal, to proactively address:
- Ovarian cysts
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Genes that heighten the risk of developing cancer
During your surgery, our anesthesia team puts you under general anesthesia for your comfort. Then, your surgeon carefully makes small incisions in the skin of your abdomen, detaching your ovaries from their blood supply and nearby tissues for smooth removal. After successfully removing your ovaries, your surgeon places dissolvable stitches to close the incisions.
This gynecology surgery in Cleveland will take between 1 and 2 hours. Without ovaries, many women find relief from painful cysts and swelling. This procedure also eliminates the risk of developing ovarian cancer later in life.
However, removing the ovaries dramatically affects hormone production. This is a change your provider will address during your initial consultation, as a hormonal decline may require future management.
Perineoplasty
The perineum, or the skin between your vaginal opening and your anus, can stretch with age, childbirth, or certain health conditions.
Some patients seek a perineoplasty to restore “loose” tissue that is affecting:
- Vaginal laxity
- Urinary control
- Comfort or satisfaction during intercourse
- Vaginal or uterine prolapse
- Reduced vaginal sensation
First, your provider provides local anesthesia for your comfort. Once you are relaxed, your surgeon makes a diamond-shaped incision close to your vaginal opening. From there, they can remove any scar tissue and repair the underlying muscle, closing the remaining skin with fine, dissolvable sutures. Most perineoplasties take between 60 and 90 minutes to complete.
Following this gynecology surgery in Cleveland, patients can see and feel a difference in sensitivity, tightness, and comfort.
Vaginal Tightening Surgery
The vaginal canal gradually grows more relaxed over time, especially after childbirth. Though some laxity is natural, it can interfere with comfort and pleasure in the bedroom.
Patients often find that vaginal tightening surgery helps resolve:
- Vaginal laxity
- Weakened bladder/urge control
- Painful intercourse
- Vaginal or uterine prolapse
- Diminished vaginal sensitivity
Your provider starts treatment with general anesthesia, so you remain asleep throughout the procedure. Then, your skilled surgeon carefully removes excess tissue from the vaginal canal, using stitches to further secure any loose tissue to the structure. This process, which usually takes 2 to 3 hours, tightens and shapes the canal.
With improved intimate health, many women enjoy enhanced urge control, vaginal sensation, and sexual wellness.
