What Is Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is the procedure of tightening the vagina, which has become loose and widened due to childbirth, ageing or genetic factors. It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.
In which cases is it preferred?
- To correct laxity and widening
- Repairing tissue damage caused by birth trauma
- Improving sexual function and sensation
- A neater appearance of the vaginal opening and increased self-confidence
Procedure and recovery
The procedure takes approximately 60–90 minutes under general anaesthesia; an overnight stay is usually not required. Return to work is generally possible within a few days; sexual intercourse and strenuous activity may resume after 6–8 weeks with the surgeon's approval.
Recovery of the tissues after childbirth is usually awaited; the appropriate timing is determined during the examination.
