Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to narrow the vaginal opening in the female genital area. This procedure is typically chosen to address discomfort caused by the widening of the vaginal opening, often occurring after childbirth or due to aging. Vaginoplasty can be performed for both aesthetic and functional purposes.

The vaginoplasty procedure is usually done under general anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours. It involves narrowing the vaginal opening and tightening the vaginal walls. Normal activities can be resumed within 2-3 days after the procedure, but full recovery may take 4-6 weeks.

Vaginoplasty can be performed using different techniques depending on the individual's needs and preferences. These include laser vaginoplasty, radiofrequency vaginoplasty, surgical vaginoplasty, and fat injection.

However, like any surgical procedure, vaginoplasty carries risks. Possible risks include infection, bleeding, pain, loss of sensation, scar formation, and discomfort lasting for several days after the procedure. Therefore, careful monitoring before and after the procedure is essential.

Who Is Vaginoplasty For?

Vaginoplasty is typically performed for women experiencing issues such as sagging, enlargement, and loosening of the vaginal area due to childbirth, aging, or other factors. Additionally, vaginoplasty may be recommended for women experiencing sexual dysfunction or deformities in the genital area. However, a detailed evaluation is necessary to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient and to determine whether surgery is appropriate.

Post-Vaginoplasty Care

After vaginoplasty surgery, some points to be aware of include:

• Rest: Rest should be prioritized to aid the body's healing process after surgery. Excessive movement and strenuous activities should be avoided.
• Hygiene: The area should be kept clean after the operation, and hygiene rules should be followed to reduce the risk of infection. Follow the care methods recommended by your doctor.
• Pain management: Mild pain and discomfort after surgery are normal. Pain relievers recommended by your doctor should be used.
• Sexual activity: Sexual activities should be postponed for a period after the operation. The duration recommended by your doctor should be followed.
• Recovery process: Each patient's recovery process may vary. Follow your doctor's recommendations for post-operative recovery.
• Check-ups: Regular check-ups may be necessary after the operation.
