Vaginoplasty

What is Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty, also called vagina tightening surgery or vaginoplasty operation, is a Vaginal Aesthetic surgery that aims to reconstruct, repair, or to restore the old tightness of an enlarged vagina.

Why is Vaginoplasty performed?

Vagina, which expands to its maximum capacity during vaginal delivery, cannot fully return to its original state after the delivery. The muscle and connective tissue of the vagina are severely damaged and due to the loss of elasticity, a permanent enlargement occurs in the vagina. Depending on how severe the enlargement is, the patient might have problems during sexual intercourse, which can damage the self esteem of the patient , or have an increased frequency of vaginal infections. Enlargement of the vagina can occur with age as well. In either case vagina tightening surgery is the preferred option. Vaginoplasty can also be utilized to repair any congenital problems the patient might have.

What are the conditions for Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty is only recommended to patients who:

  • Are healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia.
  • Have a congenital abnormality relating to the vagina.
  • Have vaginal enlargement that causes at least one of the following:
    • Loss of emotion and not being able to feel pleasure during intercourse
    • Decreased libido
    • Feeling pain during intercourse
    • Urinary incontinence
    • Recurrent vaginal infections
    • Loss of self-confidence

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Vaginoplasty?

Before the surgery, the patient should:

  • Be at the hospital a day before their surgery for the pre operative tests to be performed.
  • Stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the surgery to alleviate the risk of a blood clot.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery. These medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication and supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.
  • Stop taking Multivitamin supplements 7 days prior to the surgery, and if it contains vitamin K should not be used for 30 days following the surgery.
  • Stop taking oral contraceptives 30 days before the surgery.

Vaginoplasty treatment is unique for each patient and is planned as such.

What Are The Things To Be Considered After Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Mild pain and bleeding are expected after the surgery. The patients are expected to take their prescribed medication as instructed by their doctor. The patients are recommended not to perform heavy exercises or swim for at least a month after surgery. Keeping a healthy diet, not smoking, and resting should expedite the healing post operation. The patients can start to have intercourse at least 6 weeks after the surgery.

What Are The Risks of Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty involves making changes to the genitals which is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, and as a result the surgeons act with extra precision and carefulness while performing the surgery. Complications with Vaginoplasty are rare, some of the risks include:

  • Infection
  • Scarring
  • Bleeding
  • Blood Clots
  • Nerve Damage
  • Incorrect Vaginal Shape
  • Unbalanced Lubrication
  • Adverse reaction to anesthesia

Gary Rae reviewed Should have done this last year

From start to finish with BOOKING SURGERY the experience has been one I will never forget. From the coordinator David Turker to the transfer driver and staff at the hospital I cannot find fault with them at all. My surgeon Kagan Katar was so professional it is unbelievable these guys go so far out their way to make you feel comfortable and at home with in these amazing facilities Yasam Hospital in Istanbul. I spoke myself out it last year but made myself come this year and I am totally amazed by the overwhelming hospitality I have received and the care team are the most important team going. They look after you before and once you come out your surgery which I may add is only about 2 hours. So anyone thinking seriously about this I would recommend these guys 150% can ask for any more from them made me feel so so welcome.

Debbie Fitzpatrick reviewed Booking Surgery experience

Good company to deal with I was given my own coordinator Rossie who dealt with all my questions quickly and efficiently, thank you, Rossie. From initial booking of surgery to return home everything ran smoothly. The hospital was nice and staff were friendly a big shout out to Mary one of the kindest compassionate nurses i have ever met you are a credit to your profession. There are interpretors on call 24/7 who are always willing to help. My one criticism us the hospital food which is aweful but sure this is out of tge companies control. However the interpretors Naz, Morgan, Lily, Nadia always willing to help and happy to go to the mall next door to pick up food for you if desired thank you guys, plus the little kitchen provided tea, coffee, protein shakes etc so you could rustle up tea and toast if needed. My surgeon was Dr Soner and he is the most wonderful humble person he certainly is incredably talented. I would use this company again and would recommend to friends and family.
