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

Kayleigh reviewed Excellent experience

I cannot fault a single thing about my whole experience with Booking Surgery. From initially reaching out and discussing everything with my co-ordinator, to actually booking my surgery, getting all the pre-op info, all the way to the hospital stay and the surgery itself it was fab the whole way through. The hospital was lovely and clean (felt more like a high class hotel than a hospital), every staff member so helpful and friendly, and my surgeon Dr Katar was out of this world. On the return myself and my companion were helped through check in at Istanbul airport by our lovely driver. My surgery was August 27th, so I’ve now been home for a week in which time I’ve had a follow up with the dietician and a check in with my co-ordinator. If you’re considering gastric surgery abroad I’d urge you to check out Booking Surgery. The entire visit is hospital-based so you’re in the best care, everything is made as comfortable as possible, and all post-op meds are provided to bring home. I honestly can’t think of a single negative thing to say and I’m genuinely grateful for such a wonderful experience.
