Vaginoplasty Surgery

After having experienced several childbirths, a woman’s vaginal muscles have a tendency to enlarge due to stressful expansion during delivery. This can often lead to weak and loose vaginal muscles that kegel exercise may not improve. Many women find that while the experience of childbirth may be the most rewarding of their lives, sometimes the after effects for both their sexual partner and themselves is not as satisfying as it once was.

Vaginoplasty, also known as vagina rejuvenation, is a procedure that can usually correct the problem of stretched vaginal muscles resulting from childbirth(s) and is a direct means of enhancing one’s sexual life once again. The procedure typically tones vaginal muscle, resulting in greater contraction strength and control, thereby permitting greater sensation during sexual experiences.

The Procedure

The objective of vaginoplasty is to tone the vaginal muscle, resulting in greater strength and the ability to contract. During operation, the stretched muscle at the back of the vagina is fused together and shortened with dissolvable sutures, while at the same time, the unwanted skin is removed. By doing this, the vaginal muscles and the surrounding soft tissue are tightened; by reducing the excess vaginal lining, the scarring is concealed. The procedure can be performed either under general anesthetic or local anesthetic with sedation and can require an overnight stay at the clinic or hospital. The operation usually takes about an hour to perform.

The exact procedure elected to be performed can differ on the tissue that needs to be restored, combined with the patient’s goals. Vaginoplasty is a general term covering several types of reconstructive surgery. The vaginal wall muscle may need reconstruction or there may simply be the need of removing some of the inner lining of the vaginal vault.

Vaginoplasty can be combined with other female genital surgery such as labiaplasty or with other plastic procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction or tummy tuck.
