Vaginoplasty (Vagina Tightening)

Create a request

Vaginoplasty, also known as vagina tightening, is a surgical procedure aimed at tightening the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues. This operation is typically sought after childbirth, due to aging, or for enhancing sexual satisfaction. It focuses on reconstructing or repairing the vaginal tissues to reduce the vaginal diameter and strengthen the muscle tone.

Vaginoplasty (Vagina Tightening)

General

Vaginoplasty is primarily performed to tighten the vaginal muscles and reduce the size of the vaginal canal, which may become stretched from childbirth or age. The procedure involves removing excess vaginal lining and tightening the surrounding soft tissues and muscles. This not only restores the vaginal anatomy closer to its pre-childbirth condition but also can improve the sensation during sexual activity for both the patient and their partner. During a vaginoplasty, the surgeon aims to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appearance of the vagina, resulting in increased confidence and comfort for the patient. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia and can take between one to two hours. Patients may return home the same day or may require a short hospital stay, depending on the complexity of the surgery and their overall health. Post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery, involving rest, avoiding heavy lifting, and refraining from sexual activity for a specified period. Follow-up visits are important to ensure proper healing and to address any concerns.
