Suprapubic Uterine Suspension
When a firm mass is felt or a hard bulge is seen protruding out the vagina it is usually a cervix and uterus prolapsing past the vaginal opening. This problem typically was treated with a hysterectomy or an abdominal procedure to shorten stretched out ligaments thereby suspending the uterus and cervix.
Suprapubic Uterine suspension is indicated for pelvic tissue defects and Uterine Malposition (Uterine Retroversion). It aims to suspend the uterus and the vagina to its normal position by shortening and strengthening the round ligaments (supportive vaginal wall). It keeps the uterus from descending into (and out of) the vagina.
This procedure is performed in the Operating Room under General anesthesia by our board-certified anesthesiologist.

Note and Precaution:
- All Vaginal Surgeries are performed in our Operating Room under Intravenous (IV) sedation or General anesthesia by our board-certified anesthesiologist.
- SUS surgery is one of the most complex and meticulous surgeries. It requires extreme precision and accuracy to achieve optimum results.
- Most surgeons have little or no experience with this type of cosmetic surgery, so patients need to be aware of their surgeon’s training and experience.
