What is Vaginoplasty (Vagina Tightening) ?

Vaginoplasty, that is, vaginal rejuvenation or narrowing, is the name given to all of the surgical procedures performed to restore and rejuvenate the vagina, which has deteriorated due to age or childbirth. Vaginoplasty is a procedure applied to tighten the muscles that make up the vagina and to reshape the vagina by narrowing it. Thus, a more comfortable sexual intercourse can be achieved. Vaginoplasty is applied not only to correct deformities that may occur after birth or advanced age, but also to correct genetic vaginal deformations

Why Does the Vagina Relax ?

While the main reason for vaginal enlargement is the high number of births, some women have structural relaxation even without giving birth and the vaginal muscles are weak. During normal delivery, the muscles in the vagina become very weak. The incisions made in the mouth of the vagina in order to ensure a comfortable passage of the baby further reduce the muscle strength. As the number of births increases, it becomes more difficult for the vagina to return to its original shape. Muscle-strengthning exercises may be partially beneficial in treatment. If adequate tightening cannot be achieved with these exercises, vaginoplasty becomes necessary

Vaginoplasty Surgery

The surgery is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. In vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening) surgery, excess mucosa is removed and the muscles underneath are reached, and the diameter of the vagina is narrowed by tightening the muscles with stitches. This process allows the muscles to contract better. Finally, the mucous layer is repaired with sutures. The healing of the vaginal mucosa is very fast, it is completed within a week. For the full recovery of the muscles, sexual intercourse is not allowed for three weeks

Post Operation

It will be sufficient to pay attention to personal hygiene after the vaginoplasty surgery, and to perform the care and applications recommended by the doctors regularly. After the 2nd day, the patient can return to work and daily life and take a bath. Although the surgery does not cause serious pain, it is normal to have pain, swelling and light spotting for a few days. Since self-absorbing sutures are used,there is no need to remove stitches after the procedure. Genital plastic surgery does not prevent birth. However, in the case of a normal delivery, the vagina will expand again

Sex Life After Vaginoplasty Surgery

After the operation, sexual abstinence is required for 3 weeks and it is very important to pay maximum attention to it. Because having sexual intercourse before 3 weeks can cause loosening in the vagina again. In addition, because the incision area has not yet healed,infection may develop, stitches may be opened or bleeding may occur
