Vaginoplasty
What is Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure to alter the size, shape, or position of the vagina. It is often performed for cosmetic reasons or to address medical conditions such as vaginal laxity or prolapse.
How is Vaginoplasty Performed?
Vaginoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The procedure typically involves tightening the vaginal walls and repositioning the hymen.
After Surgery Treatment
Recovery from vaginoplasty is typically quick, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include:
• Avoiding strenuous activity for a few days.
• Taking pain medication as prescribed to manage discomfort.
• Keeping the area clean and dry.

Things to Be Careful About
While vaginoplasty is generally a safe procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with it. These may include:
• Scarring: Incisions can leave visible scars.
• Asymmetrical results: It may be difficult to achieve perfectly symmetrical results.
• Numbness or loss of sensation: You may experience numbness or loss of sensation in the vagina.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection after any surgery.
• Difficulty with sexual activity: In some cases, vaginoplasty can make it difficult to achieve or maintain an orgasm.
If you’re considering vaginoplasty, it’s important to discuss the risks and benefits with your surgeon to determine if it’s the right procedure for you.
