• What are The Results of a Vaginoplasty

This procedure typically results in a tighter vaginal canal, which can help enhance sexual satisfaction.

• Reasons Patients Want a Vaginoplasty

After childbirth, women may complain of vaginal laxity, resulting from stretching of tissues and separating of muscles, sometimes to the point that a tampon falls out, and this lack of tone can contribute to sexual dysfunction.

• What Does a Vaginoplasty Do?

A vaginoplasty brings the separated muscles together, and the extra mucosa skin from the back side of the vagina is removed. The external skin can also be removed for a more aesthetic appearance.

• Anesthesia for a Vaginoplasty

While a vaginoplasty can be done under local anesthesia, many opt to have it done under general anesthesia.

Vaginoplasty Procedure

• Once the amount of tightening to be done is determined, a pie-shape wedge is marked to delineate the extra skin to be removed from inside the vagina.
• Beneath the skin, the tissues are tightened with strong sutures. Once the vaginal canal has been tightened, the mucosal skin is sutured closed.
• If there is external skin that protrudes, this can be reduced as well for a more aesthetic result.
