What is vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to provide aesthetic and functional improvements in the female genital area. It aims to increase the tightness and structural integrity of the vagina.

Due to childbirth, aging, sexual activity, and other factors, vaginal tissues may loosen and sag. Vaginoplasty aims to correct these conditions and is a procedure performed to restore the tightness of vaginal tissues.

This procedure is performed by tightening the muscles in the vaginal walls and removing excess tissue. Vaginoplasty can enhance sexual function and sensation, provide a more aesthetic appearance in the genital area, and boost the individual's self-confidence. The duration of the surgery and the healing process may vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's condition.

How is vaginoplasty performed?

During vaginoplasty surgery, which reconstructs the vagina and significantly improves its function, the following steps are followed:

Anesthesia: First, the patient is given general anesthesia. This way, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Incision: One or more incisions are made on the posterior vaginal wall and the perineal area (the tissue between the vagina and anus). This allows access to the tissues and muscles.

Muscle tightening: The loosened muscles in the vaginal walls are tightened and brought together. This reduces the internal diameter of the vagina and increases its tightness.

Removal of excess tissue: After the tightening procedure, excess tissue and mucosa (the tissue lining the inner surface of the vaginal wall) are removed.

Stitches: The incisions made are stitched, and the inside and outside of the vagina are properly closed. Absorbable stitches are usually used, which means they can dissolve on their own without the need for removal.

Recovery process: After the procedure is completed, the patient is observed for a while and then sent home. The recovery period can last from several weeks to several months depending on the patient’s condition and the extent of the surgery. Careful post-operative care and adherence to given recommendations play an important role in the success of the procedure.

In which cases is vaginal tightening surgery performed?

Vaginal tightening surgery is a surgical procedure aimed at solving problems caused by the widening of the vaginal canal. Vaginal widening can occur due to reasons such as lack of sexual satisfaction, weakness of the pelvic floor muscles, and vaginal delivery. In such cases, vaginal tightening surgery may be considered. Here are some situations in which vaginal tightening surgery is performed:

Vaginal deliveries: During vaginal deliveries, the vagina naturally expands and sometimes does not return to its previous tightness after birth. In such cases, vaginal tightening surgery may be considered.

Aging: As age advances, the vagina and pelvic floor muscles may weaken and lose elasticity. In such cases, vaginal tightening surgery can help improve a woman's quality of life and sexual satisfaction.

Weakness of pelvic floor muscles: When the pelvic floor muscles weaken, the vagina may widen and sag. In such cases, vaginoplasty can help strengthen these muscles and restore the tightness of the vaginal canal.
Sexual dissatisfaction: Vaginal widening can cause lack of satisfaction during sexual intercourse for both the woman and her male partner. Vaginal tightening surgery can be performed to provide more tightness and satisfaction during intercourse.

Urinary incontinence: Weakness of the vagina and pelvic floor muscles can lead to urinary incontinence problems known as stress incontinence. Vaginal tightening surgery can help solve urinary incontinence issues.

Does the vagina widen again after vaginal tightening surgery?

After vaginal tightening surgery, the vagina may naturally widen to some extent over time. However, with carefully monitored precautions and recommended exercises after surgery, this widening can be kept to a minimum. Some measures to prevent post-operative widening are as follows:

Pelvic floor exercises: It is important to start pelvic floor exercises after waiting for a certain period following the surgery. Also known as Kegel exercises, these strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help maintain vaginal tightness.

Care with sexual intercourse: Your doctor will inform you when you can resume sexual activity after the surgery. Generally, it is recommended to wait 4–6 weeks after the surgery, but this period may vary from person to person. Starting sexual intercourse too early can reduce the effects of the surgery and lead to the vagina widening again.

Birth control methods: After vaginal tightening surgery, if a vaginal delivery occurs, the vagina may widen again. Therefore, it is important to use birth control methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Other procedures to consider at advanced age: As age advances, especially after menopause, vaginal tissues may lose their natural elasticity, causing the vagina to widen again. In such cases, minimally invasive procedures such as laser or radiofrequency treatment may be considered.
