Vaginoplasty

VAGINOPLASTY

Vaginoplasty is a procedure designed to tighten the vagina. After childbirth, women may complain of vaginal laxity, resulting from stretching of tissues and separating of muscles. Vaginal laxity can contribute to sexual dysfunction. This procedure results in a tighter vaginal canal, which can help enhance sexual satisfaction.

Patients with significant laxity may be better candidates for surgical tightening with vaginoplasty. Noninvasive vaginal tightening through heating tissues with HIFU, radiofrequency waves or laser are alternatives to vaginoplasty for less vaginal laxity suffering patients.

Vaginoplasty can be done under local anesthesia OR it can be done under general anesthesia.
