Hello, I am Dr. Miyamoto, an OB/GYN specialist at BIANCA CLINIC, where I focus on gynecological plastic surgery and vaginal aesthetics.

Many women interested in gynecological plastic surgery hesitate to take the first step due to concerns about downtime. In fact, questions about downtime are among the most frequently asked by patients during consultations.

This time, we'll specifically introduce the downtime for each representative gynecological cosmetic procedure. We'll also explain BIANCA CLINIC's unique approach to reducing pain and anxiety.

What is the downtime for gynecological plastic surgery?

In gynecological plastic surgery, procedures are performed on sensitive areas, so downtime may occur after surgery.

The nature and extent of downtime vary depending on the type of procedure and the patient's constitution, but generally includes swelling, pain, bleeding, and bruising.

For example, injectable treatments like hyaluronic acid injections typically involve minimal downtime and have little impact on daily life. On the other hand, surgical procedures involving incisions tend to require a somewhat longer recovery period.

During the downtime, it is ideal to rest to prevent symptoms from worsening. Additionally, lifestyle precautions such as showering, bathing, tampon use, and resuming sexual activity vary depending on the procedure.

Before undergoing treatment, it is important to receive thorough explanations from your doctor and consider whether it is feasible for your lifestyle. To ensure you can receive treatment with peace of mind, do not hesitate to ask about anything you don't understand or feel uncertain about.

Comparison of Downtime for Representative Gynecological Cosmetic Procedures

There are various procedures in gynecological plastic surgery, but the time required for recovery and the nature of the downtime vary significantly depending on the procedure.

Questions like "How much will it affect my work or household chores?" and "When can I resume sexual activity?"—knowing these points beforehand makes it easier to choose the treatment that's right for you.

Here, we compare the downtime characteristics and lifestyle restrictions of representative gynecological cosmetic procedures offered at Bianca Clinic.

The length of downtime and the nature of daily life restrictions vary by procedure, but in most cases, you can return to your daily routine within a few days to a few weeks.

Bianca Clinic's Approach｜Efforts to Minimize Downtime

At Bianca Clinic, we continuously implement measures to minimize pain and downtime in gynecological cosmetic procedures.

During procedures, we carefully select between local anesthesia and intravenous sedation to minimize physical strain. We strive to alleviate patient anxiety as much as possible.

Additionally, we offer an "Edema Reduction IV Drip" to support your post-operative recovery and a "Post-Operative Oral Medication Set" to assist with home care.

We carefully listen to each patient's individual circumstances and preferences to propose treatment schedules that fit comfortably into your lifestyle. We strive to offer flexible treatment plans, taking into account situations such as "busy work schedules that don't allow for long breaks" or "childcare responsibilities that limit available time for appointments."

We provide a comfortable environment where you can undergo treatment with peace of mind while minimizing any burden. If you've been hesitant to take that first step due to concerns about downtime, please feel free to consult with us.

Gynecological cosmetic procedures should be done only after all concerns are addressed!

Cosmetic gynecology is one option for addressing sensitive concerns. While downtime isn't entirely eliminated, the burden can vary significantly depending on the procedure chosen and the clinic's support system.

At Bianca Clinic, we thoroughly address any concerns or questions you may have about downtime before proposing treatments that you can feel confident about.
