English
Vaginal tightening surgery, medically known as vaginoplasty, is a procedure designed to repair and tighten the vaginal canal. It addresses vaginal laxity (looseness), which commonly occurs after childbirth, during aging, or due to significant weight changes.
Why People Choose Vaginal Tightening
The procedure targets the stretching of the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal tissues.
– Restores Muscle Tone: Closes stretched or separated pelvic muscles.
– Removes Excess Tissue: Trims stretched mucous membranes inside the vagina.
– Improves Sensation: Tightens the canal to increase friction and sensation during intercourse.
– Supports Pelvic Health: Often combined with surgeries to fix pelvic organ prolapse or urinary leaks.
How the Procedure Works
The surgery is typically performed by a gynecologist or a plastic surgeon under general or local anesthesia with sedation:
– Incisions: The surgeon makes a small incision at the vaginal opening and inside the canal.
– Tightening: Stretched muscles are pulled together and stitched tightly with dissolvable sutures.
– Trimming: Overstretched mucosal skin is safely removed.
– Recovery Prep: The vaginal canal is packed with gauze to minimize bleeding immediately after surgery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing requires strict adherence to medical guidelines to ensure proper tissue recovery
– Downtime: Patients usually take 1 to 2 weeks off from work.
– Activity: No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4 weeks.
– Pelvic Rest: No tampons or sexual intercourse for 4 to 6 weeks.
– Sutures: Stitches dissolve on their own within a few weeks.
Non-Surgical Alternatives
For mild laxity, non-surgical options could also be considered before opting for surgery. These options are laser therapy and radiofrequency:
– Laser Therapy: Energy-based treatments to stimulate collagen growth in the tissue.
– Radiofrequency: Thermal energy devices used to gently tighten surface tissues.
Common surgical risks are infection, bleeding, scarring and anesthesia risks which are mostly normal, temporary and preventable with antibiotics. However, the patient should contact the clinic and/or the doctor, if she has heavy bleeding, pain, fever or foul smelling.
