Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is the surgical tightening and restructuring of the vaginal muscles and support tissues after childbirth, aging or tissue laxity.
The procedure targets both functional goals such as comfort and muscle control and a better quality of life, aiming to restore natural tone and tissue integrity without exaggeration.
What is vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is the surgical tightening and remodeling of the vaginal canal when it widens after childbirth, aging or tissue laxity.
The goal is to repair the anatomy without exaggeration, restoring natural muscle tone and tissue integrity.
Why does vaginal laxity happen?
- Normal or complicated childbirth
- Loss of tissue elasticity due to aging
- Weakening of the pelvic floor muscles
- Hormonal changes
- Genetic predisposition
These changes can affect comfort, hygiene and confidence for some women.
When is it preferred?
- Feeling of looseness after childbirth
- Noticeable pelvic floor weakness
- Decreased comfort in daily life
- Desire for better muscular control and support
- Seeking an aesthetic and functional balance
Suitability is determined through a detailed examination and personal expectations.
Who is it suitable for?
- Those bothered by the appearance or function of loosened vaginal tissues
- Individuals seeking a natural and balanced genital appearance
- Patients whose general health allows surgery
Suitability is tailored to genital anatomy, expectations and lifestyle.
How is it performed?
Vaginoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia or sedation. The surgical steps include:
- Detailed assessment of the vaginal musculature and support structures
- Approximation of loosened muscles toward the midline to strengthen the canal
- Controlled removal of excess tissue
- Anatomical reconstruction of the vaginal canal
- Closure with absorbable aesthetic sutures
- Procedure duration averages 60–120 minutes
Recovery process
- First days: mild swelling and tenderness
- Week 1: controlled return to daily activities
- Weeks 2–3: symptoms ease significantly
- Weeks 4–6: tissues complete the healing process
Following physician recommendations supports a smooth recovery.
Are scars visible afterward?
All incisions are placed inside the vaginal canal, so no external scars are visible.
Is it painful?
Pain is usually mild to moderate and managed with medication; most patients describe temporary sensitivity.
Is it permanent?
Vaginoplasty offers long-lasting and stable results when performed with care for the pelvic floor structures.
Vaginoplasty vs. non-surgical vaginal tightening
| Vaginoplasty | Non-surgical methods |
|---|---|
| Surgical and permanent | Temporary effect |
| Repair of muscles and tissues | Surface-level tightening |
| Effective for advanced laxity | Suitable for mild laxity |
| Single session | Requires multiple sessions |
Who is not a candidate?
- Active infections
- Too soon after childbirth
- General health conditions that do not allow surgery
Timing and decisions are made together with your surgeon.
