What is Vaginoplasty?
What is Perineoplasty?
Perineoplasty corrects a small vaginal opening as well as a large gaping opening.
How Are the Procedures Performed?
The surgery is a standard gynecologic vaginal procedure where the vaginal vault and pelvic floor are made smaller, and the foundation muscles of the vagina are made stronger. The G-spot which lies in the anterior proximal vagina is not affected by this procedure. Also at this time another problem that can make sex very uncomfortable can be corrected. Some patients may have an enterocele or rectocele, which is a hernia of the bowel or rectum in the vaginal vault which may protrude via the vaginal opening. During vaginoplasty this hernia can be repaired, the pain eliminated, and satisfaction during intercourse restored.
What Are the Risks and Recovery Time?
Patients may have one to two weeks of down time. They may feel a deep ache for the first few days, and there is no tampon use or intercourse for eight weeks. Depending on the amount of tightening performed, some patients may be instructed to use dilators. There are very minimal risks that come with this procedure.
What Are the Results of Vaginoplasty?
This procedure typically results in a tighter vaginal canal, which can help enhance sexual satisfaction.
