Vaginoplasty, Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery or Vaginal Tightening

Definition: Vaginoplasty is designed to correct the problem of stretched vaginal muscles; a condition that commonly results from childbearing. This surgical procedure will tone the muscle and supportive tissue so that you will have greater contraction strength and control. Vaginoplasty will also help to enhance one’s sexual experiences once again, and may be combined with other rejuvenative procedures such as labiaplasty and hymenoplasty.

Is it right for me?
Ideal candidates for vaginoplasty are individuals who have loose, weak, or stretched vaginal muscles. If you are a woman who is determined to maximize her sexual sensation, gratification, would also like to improve the appearance of her external genitalia, restore her self-esteem and rejuvenate her love life, then you are an ideal candidate for Vaginoplasty. Women suffering from stress incontinence of urine (involuntary loss of urine with coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or sex) can also have this problem corrected by Vaginoplasty.

Surgery: Length - 1 to 2 Hours There are many different vaginoplasty techniques. Some involve the use of autologous biological tissue from other parts of the body of the patient to construct areas of vagina. Areas that may be used include oral mucosa, skin flaps, skin grafts, the vaginal labia, penile skin and/or tissue, scrotal skin, intestinal mucosa, and others. With colovaginoplasty, a vagina is created by cutting away a section of the sigmoid colon and using it to form a vaginal lining. Due to numerous potential complications most surgeons will recommend a colovaginoplasty only when there is no alternative. Penile inversion is a surgical technique for genital reassignment (sex change) used to construct a neo-vagina from a penis for transwomen, sometimes also for intersex people. It is one of two main sorts of vaginoplasty, along with colovaginoplasty. The erectile tissue of the penis is removed, and the skin, with its blood and nerve supplies still attached, is used to create a vestibule area and labia minora, and inverted into a cavity created in the pelvic tissue. Part of the tip (glans) of the penis, still connected to its blood and nerve supplies, is usually used to construct a clitoris, the urethra is shortened to end at a place that is appropriate for a female anatomy.

Risks: Possibilities of anesthetic complications, scars, nerve damage, swelling, infection, bleeding, wound separation and delayed healing. You may experience changes in sensation and pain during intercourse.

Side Effects: You may be sore and swollen directly following surgery.

Recovery time: To help the body heal from vaginoplasty, you must take your doctor’s instructions seriously. Return to work: about 1 week. Return to sexual activities: about 4 to 6 weeks. Results are long-lasting to permanent.
