What is the goal of vaginoplasty?
The goal of a vaginoplasty is to address vaginal sagging, reduced vaginal sensation after multiple vaginal childbirths, and vaginal deformities. The treatment is used for strengthening and toning vaginal looseness, problems related to urinary incontinence, protruding tissue from the vagina, and unpleasant vaginal appearance.
The goal of vaginoplasty is to enhance vaginal tightness. The surgery is often combined with vaginal rejuvenation procedures such as clitoral hood reduction and labiaplasty to enhance the look and feel of the vagina. The procedure is generally performed under anesthesia. Once the gynecologist determines the amount of tightening that needs to be done, he or she will make a pie shape wedge to delineate the extra vaginal skin. The tissues beneath the skin are then tightened with strong sutures. Once the vaginal canal is stitched and tightened, the mucosal skin is closed with sutures too.
What to expect after vaginoplasty surgery? How to recover after the surgery?
Like any other surgery, recovery after vaginoplasty also depends upon your body’s healing capacity or response to the surgical treatment.

A shallow-depth vaginoplasty requires 3-5 days of hospital stay
Recovery after a full-depth vaginoplasty may take 3 months or longer
Recovery after a shallow-depth vaginoplasty may take 45-60 days.
It may take around 10-12 months for the body to completely adjust with healing after vaginoplasty.

What is better- vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, or vulvoplasty?
While all three surgeries- vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and vulvoplasty are plastic surgeries of the vagina, they all vary in functions.
- Vaginoplasty is a surgery focused at repairing the entire vaginal site. It helps restore both- the urinary and sexual functions of the organ, while also redefining the aesthetics. As a result, it helps tighten, shape, smoothen, and rejuvenate the entire vaginal area, thus solving vaginal looseness, dryness, and urinary leakage.
- Labiaplasty is a surgery to reshape only the inner or outer labia. It is mainly done to solve the constant chafing, rashes, and pain around the labial region.
- Vulvoplasty is a surgery focused on repairing only the vulvar region. It thus shapes and repairs only the outer vaginal area, thus helping enhance sexual sensation, function, and sensitivity.
