Vaginal Tightening, Priming - Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty: What is Vaginal Tightening Surgery?

Frequent weight fluctuations, childbirth, aging, and hormonal problems can all lead to vaginal widening. Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the tightness of a widened vagina. This procedure tightens the vagina both internally and externally.

Reasons and Effects of Vaginoplasty

An enlarged vagina can lead to problems such as decreased libido, loss of sensation, vaginal sounds, and gas leakage. This can affect women's self-confidence and negatively impact couples' sex lives. Fortunately, vaginoplasty is an effective method to resolve these issues.

Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Depending on the extent of vaginal prolapse, there are surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Thanks to advancements in technology, safe, painless, and rapid results can be achieved with laser and radiofrequency methods. Surgical procedures, on the other hand, tighten muscles and tissues, remove excess tissue, and reduce the size of the vaginal canal.

Advantages of Vaginoplasty

Surgical procedures allow for the reconstruction of pelvic floor muscles and the repair of soft tissues. They also improve the aesthetic appearance of the vagina and increase pleasure during sexual intercourse. Vaginoplasty, when combined with vaginal rejuvenation procedures, can offer additional benefits such as improved labial appearance and color toning, and strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles.

How is Vaginal Reduction Surgery (Vaginoplasty) Performed?

Vaginoplasty (vaginal reconstruction) is a surgical procedure performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia, lasting approximately one hour. Patients are usually discharged immediately after the surgery or after a one-night hospital stay.

In vaginal reduction surgery, excess tissue causing vaginal sagging is removed or restored to its original state, loose muscles are tightened, and the incised edges are brought together and sutured. The goal of vaginal tightening surgery is to tighten the two groups of muscles located in the lower wall of the vagina and forming the pelvic floor. Since the stitches are still inside, the surgical scars are not visible from the outside.

Vaginal tightening surgery is a procedure that can be performed on women of all ages over 18 who are medically suitable for surgery and who experience problems such as decreased libido, loss of sensation, vaginal sounds, and vaginal discharge.

After vaginal tightening surgery, patients are discharged the same day or after a one-night hospital stay. They can return to daily life after 1-2 days of rest. Complications after vaginal tightening surgery are very rare, and the recovery process is generally quite comfortable. Swelling accompanied by mild discomfort may occur in the first few weeks (1-2 weeks), and this sensation will completely disappear over time. Sexual activity should be restricted for 4-6 weeks to allow the vaginal area to heal completely.

After vaginal tightening surgery, genital area cleaning and hygiene are very important. Since aesthetic sutures are used, they do not need to be removed; however, regular dressing changes are necessary for the first two weeks until the sutures dissolve. The sutured area will be completely healed one month after the surgery.

After vaginal tightening surgery, a person can take a bath with lukewarm water one day after the operation. However, it is important to wait one month before engaging in activities such as swimming in pools and the sea, to stay away from humid areas such as Turkish baths and saunas for at least one month, to shower standing up rather than sitting down, and to prevent prolonged direct contact of the area with water.

The risks and complications of vaginal tightening surgery are no different from those of any surgery. Possible risks that may be encountered in vaginoplasty surgery include:

Bleeding and infection are extremely rare. However, the risk of complications is quite high in cases of inadequate or unhygienic medical care.
