Vaginal lip augmentation

External Genital Rejuvenation - Augmentation of the Greater Vaginal Lips

Natural aging or thinning can cause the larger vaginal lips to lose their youthful appearance and appear empty and flabby.

Vaginal aging

At Hoogstra Medical Centers we treat aging of the labia majora by providing volume, either with Hyaluronic Acid or with fat from the patient himself. We can also tighten and rejuvenate the skin with Carbon Dioxide Laser as we do with the skin of the face.

Treatment for vaginal lip augmentation

The hyaluronic acid that we usually place is Voluma from the Allergan Laboratory, which lasts for 20 months. This is a quick, simple, painless procedure and the patient immediately continues with her daily and sexual life.

If we choose to perform the auto fat graft and / or a skin rejuvenation with Carbon Dioxide Laser, it is preferable to do it under sedation with an anesthesiologist, this gives the patient greater comfort.
In this situation we suggest not to resume the activity for 24 hours and not to have sexual relations for a week.

Many times we combine in the same procedure a reduction of the labia minora and / or an intravaginal laser treatment to rejuvenate the mucosa and tighten the vaginal walls.

Who is it for?

Many patients choose this procedure after delivery and in pre-menopause as a preventive factor.
With the aforementioned procedures, we get the lips to be full again, we manage to eliminate sagging and improve the quality of the skin.

It is also possible to combine it with a Helios Laser treatment to produce clearance of the genital area.

Invisible lifting of the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids

Endoscopic video lifting of the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids.

The lowering of the eyebrows together with the frontal wrinkles, the eyebrows and crow's feet give the face the aspect of anger, sadness and old age. Invisible Lifting is a minimally invasive procedure whose purpose is to raise the eyebrows, remove excess skin from the upper eyelids and sometimes lift the nasal tip.

The Invisible Lifting rejuvenates the look and gives the face a more rested, happy and youthful expression. This procedure is done through a minimal hidden incision in the scalp.

Candidates for this procedure are women and men who have decreased eyebrows and excess skin on the upper eyelids. These patients generally have an expression of tiredness, sadness or anger in their eyes and the majority express that this expression does not coincide with their real state of mind.

Treatment

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra has developed a new procedure, the “Pivoting Brow Lift” or “Pivoting Eyebrow Lift”, which avoids the scars associated with conventional resective and endoscopic surgeries.

Procedure description

The Pivoting Forehead and Eyebrow Lift repositions the eyebrows, clears the look and reduces expression wrinkles, providing significant aesthetic and functional results.

Benefits for Patients

Many patients come to the procedure due to visual difficulties, accompanied by headaches and neck pain, symptoms that Dr. Hoogstra's technique helps to alleviate.

Process and Recovery

The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and sedation, lasting approximately 30 minutes. After the intervention, patients generally remain in the clinic for about 4 hours, where they are cared for by specialized staff before leaving. During this time, your post-operative condition is monitored and the necessary care is provided to ensure proper recovery before returning home.

Follow-up and Recovery Time

The first checkup is scheduled 7 days after the procedure, at which time the patient's progress is evaluated and additional guidance is provided as needed. Additionally, patients have constant access to medical equipment throughout the recovery process, providing peace of mind and ongoing support.

In terms of recovery time, most patients can expect to return to normal activities within 3 to 7 days after the procedure. It is important to note that this period may vary slightly depending on the individual characteristics of each patient and the extent of the procedure performed. However, in general, recovery is expected to be rapid and with minimal bruising, allowing patients to return to their daily routine promptly and comfortably.

Logistics for Foreign Patients

Foreign patients must be in Buenos Aires the day before surgery, with operating days generally scheduled on Wednesdays at 6:30 AM. The length of stay in Buenos Aires is usually approximately 10 days, although some can return to their places of origin even 48 hours after the procedure.

Dr. Hoogstra's Experience and Credentials

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra has vast experience in this procedure, having trained at renowned institutions such as the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, USA, and collaborating with doctors at Harvard University in the use of the carbon dioxide laser.

Conclusions

The Invisible Lift, Pivoting of the Forehead and Eyebrows, stands out for not requiring skin extraction and for offering longer-lasting results compared to conventional lifting procedures.

The heating of the deep dermis increases the production of collagen, observing within a few days an increase in skin tension and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
