What is Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty is a type of surgery that can be used for vaginal reconstruction or creation of a vagina as part of male to female reassignment surgery. It is a procedure that aims to “tighten up” a vagina that’s become slack or loose from vaginal childbirth or aging.

What is the recovery time?

The average length of vaginoplasty procedure is between 1- 2 hours. An additional hour is spent in our recovery room under the supervision of a registered nurse. After surgery, the patient is usually able to walk comfortably within a few days, returns to work within two to five days and may return to sexual activities within 4-6 weeks.

What are some benefits of having Vaginoplasty?

• Improved Vaginal Tightness: Vaginoplasty can enhance vaginal tightness, potentially improving sexual satisfaction and intimacy.

• Restored Vaginal Function: It can address issues like vaginal laxity, which may occur after childbirth or with aging, potentially enhancing sexual function.

• Enhanced Self-Confidence: Many individuals experience increased self-esteem and confidence in their body after vaginoplasty.

• Urinary Incontinence Relief: In some cases, vaginoplasty can help alleviate stress urinary incontinence by providing better support to the bladder.

• Customizable Procedure: Vaginoplasty can be tailored to address specific concerns, allowing for a personalized approach.

• Minimal Scarring: Incisions for vaginoplasty are typically well-concealed within the vaginal walls, resulting in minimal visible scarring.

• Short Recovery Time: Recovery from vaginoplasty is often relatively quick compared to more invasive surgical procedures.

• Improved Quality of Life: Enhanced vaginal comfort and function can lead to an improved quality of life for some individuals.

• Long-Lasting Results: Vaginoplasty typically provides long-lasting results with proper post-operative care.

It’s important to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon specializing in vaginal rejuvenation to discuss your specific concerns, goals, and potential risks before considering vaginoplasty.
