What is vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty, also known as vaginal rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure that tightens the vaginal canal. Vaginoplasties target the “stretched-out” feeling of the vagina after giving birth. Your vagina also changes shape over time because of hormonal changes and aging. Women undergo the procedure for a number of personal reasons, including:
- Aesthetic appearance of the vagina
- Increased vaginal tightness
- Increased sexual feeling
It’s important to talk to your doctor about your expectations for the procedure in order to achieve your desired results.

What happens during a vaginoplasty procedure?
Depending on your comfort level, you may undergo local or general anesthesia during the procedure. The doctor tightens vaginal skin and muscles, and removes extra skin for aesthetic results. The doctor secures the vaginal alterations with sutures.
What is the recovery time for a vaginoplasty?
After the procedure, it’s important to keep the surgical area clean to avoid infection. You’re able to resume your normal daily activities within about 1-2 weeks. However, it’s recommended to avoid using tampons or having sex for at least eight weeks after the surgery.
What are alternative options for surgical vaginoplasty?
If you’re not interested in a surgical vaginoplasty procedure, there are other treatments available. Non-surgical options include tightening with laser treatments. Laser surgery uses heat to stimulate collagen formation and increase vaginal tightening. Many women opt for a non-surgical option, but it doesn’t have as dramatic results as a vaginoplasty.
