*Same Day Appointments & Walk-Ins WelcomeVaginoplasty is a reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic procedure for the vaginal canal and its mucous membrane, and of vulvo-vaginal structures that might be absent or damaged because of congenital disease (e.g. vaginal atresia) or because of an acquired cause (e.g. childbirth physical trauma, cancer). As such, the term vaginoplasty generally describes any such cosmetic reconstructive and corrective vaginal surgery, whilst the term neovaginoplasty specifically describes the procedures of either partial or total construction or reconstruction of the vulvo-vaginal complex. Sometimes referred to as “vaginal rejuvenation”, “aesthetic vaginal surgery” or “cosmetic vaginal surgery”, various results aim to strengthen the function of the vulvo-vaginal area, firm up and reshape tissue for youthful appearances. In regular terms, the procedure is essentially a “face lift” for the vulva and vagina.
Vaginal rejuvenation is often two combined distinct surgeries of labiaplasty and vaginoplasty, to restore or enhance the vagina’s cosmetic appearance or function. Labiaplasty is a labia reduction and cosmetic enhancement genital surgical procedure to reduce or change the shape of the labia minora (small lips) on the outside of the vagina.
Some surgeries are needed for discomfort occurring from chronic labial irritation that develops from tight clothing, sex, sports or other physical activities. Vaginoplasty surgery is done by removing excess vaginal lining and tightening the surrounding soft tissues and muscles. The post-operative outcome of vaginoplasty is variable; it usually allows coitus (sexual intercourse) after a week, although sensation might not always be present. In biological women, menstruation and fertilization are assured when the uterus and the ovaries have preserved their normal functions; in a few cases, vaginal childbirth is possible. In male-to-female sex reassignment surgery, some trans women patients undergo vaginoplasty as part of their physical (sex) transition. The physical factors that limit vaginal dimensions are the rectoprostatic Denonvilliers’ Fascia (depth) and the Levator ani muscle (diameter); thus, in trans women patients, the narrowness of the male pelvis can reduce the available area to use for vaginoplasty.

Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure, which involves the construction or reconstruction of the vagina. It is one type of genitoplasty. People might undergo this type of surgery for the purpose of treatment or removal of malignant growths or abscesses. It is normally done in order to restore a normal vaginal structure and function. This article focuses on the most commonly asked question about this type of surgery.
A vaginoplasty is a procedure in which surgeons construct a vaginal cavity between the rectum and the urethra. The main goal of this process is to create a vagina out of penile tissue at the same time with the appearance and depth of a biologically developed vagina. In the majority of cases, vaginoplasty is done in order to repair the vagina and its attached structure because of the trauma or injury. Vaginoplasty is also known as posterior colporrhaphy, which should assist in tightening the vagina.
Women might have complaints about vaginal laxity, which results from stretching of tissues and separation of muscles. In some cases, it might be to the point when a tampon falls out and this lack of tone can also have an impact on sexual dysfunction. Thus, a lot of women undergo this surgery in order to enhance their sexual pleasure. When done for this purpose, it is considered purely cosmetic and is referred to as vaginal rejuvenation. This problem typically occurs after childbirth. People might also make use of this procedure if they have congenital adrenal hyperplasia, vaginal atresia, vaginal agenesis or Mullerian agenesis or aplasia.
On the day of surgery, you will have a meeting with your anesthesiologist and a surgeon. During this meeting, you will be given an overview of how the day is going to flow. You might also receive some medication, which will help you to relax. The next stage is an operating room. The choice between local or general anesthesia will be taken based on your personal situation. This is a highly complex process, which involves delicate tissues, nerves and vasculature fibers. The whole procedure normally takes between two to five hours. You will be not allowed to remove bandages and a catheter for four days after the surgery. During these four days, postoperative measures should be followed.
This surgical procedure is considered safe but just like any other surgery, it involves some degree of risk. The most common risk, which is associated with this type of surgery is infection. Specialists say that this happens very rarely. In the vast majority of cases, a doctor will prescribe preventive antibiotics following the surgical intervention. Other risks and complications might be:
The average recovery time is around one to two weeks. Patients, who undergo this surgery, might feel severe pain for the first few days. In addition to that, you will be restricted from the use of tampons or intercourse for eight weeks. Dilators might be prescribed depending on the amount of tightening performed.
Recent research shows that the average cost of vaginoplasty varies between four to twelve thousand dollars. Its cost mainly depends on the extent of vagina correction that is required. However, you have to understand that the aforementioned cost is only a part of the total price. It does not include the cost of anesthesia, operating room facilities and other related expenses. In order to get the exact price for your surgery, you will have to consult a plastic surgeon.
