What is vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to restore the laxity of the vagina that has become loose due to multiple pregnancies, vaginal delivery, natural aging, accidental trauma, etc. The procedure involves tightening the loosened walls of a woman’s vagina. It can be beneficial for women with frequent complaints regarding urinary leakage, loose pelvic muscles, sexual discomfort. A women’s vagina tends to lose its shape and laxity over the years due to multiple vaginal deliveries and natural aging. In vaginoplasty, the gynaecologist pulls the loosened vaginal muscles together to sew them again in an attempt to regain their tightness. This procedure can help the vagina appear and feel better, thus enhancing the sexual pleasure for both partners.
Who is eligible for vaginoplasty?
Women, older than 18 years, can undergo vaginoplasty for both medical as well as cosmetic reasons. Women with multiple unfortunate past traumas, vaginal deliveries, and natural aging, may experience some amounts of vaginal looseness. Therefore, undergoing vaginoplasty can restore the laxity of the vagina. Some women undergo vaginoplasty to correct severe cases of pelvic organ prolapse which can lead to urinary leakage (USI) every time a woman bends, lifts weights, etc. Vaginoplasty is also done for cosmetic needs by some women which can elevate sexual sensation and pleasure. It is a simple yet effective surgery that eventually ‘tightens’ the loosened vaginal walls and restores vaginal wall strength by stitching them back to their original state. Therefore, women undergo vaginoplasty to correct all these medical grievances for a better quality of life.
Symptoms
- Vaginal looseness
- Urinary leakage
- Restore vaginal wall strength
Risks & Complications
Vaginoplasty is a very safe surgery to restore vaginal ‘tightness’. The efficiency of the surgery depends on the surgical expertise of the surgeon along with patient’s age and condition. Minimal bleeding is normal during vaginoplasty, however, there may be excessive bleeding due to multiple cuts at sensitive areas. Patient must inform the surgeon about any prior allergies. There can be complications while administering anesthesia as patients can sometimes respond to it in abnormal ways.
Myths and Facts Myth– Sex with multiple partners can loosen the vagina.
Fact- No. Sex with multiple partners do not loosen the vagina. Vagina is made up of flexible muscles that regain their shape after expanding. Moreover, major vaginal looseness occurs due to multiple vaginal deliveries or past trauma.
Myth- Vaginoplasty is only done for cosmetic purposes.
Fact- No, vaginoplasty is a cosmetic procedure as well as done for clinical purposes. Women who complain about urinary leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, or sexual dissatisfaction also undergo vaginoplasty.
Myth- Tighter vaginas are “purer” vaginas and are therefore more desirable.
Fact- There are no studies that confirm any connection between vaginal tightness and purity. Vaginal tightness makes sex better and hence, several people prefer tighter vaginas.
Myth- Vaginal deliveries can make your vagina loose.
Fact- Yes, during childbirth the cervix and vaginal muscles relax to help the push baby out. However, this is only temporary in nature. The vagina is biologically elastic in nature, therefore, having babies makes the vagina temporarily loose.
Myth- Kegel exercises are the only way to have a tighter vagina.
Fact- No. There are other ways to make the vagina tighter other than Kegel exercises. One of them is undergoing vaginal tightening surgery. One should confirm this in case of extreme vaginal looseness.
Post-surgery care- The patient must refrain from using tampons or anything involving insertion during the period cycle. The surgeons advise using only soft, absorbent sanitary pads instead.
- The patients must not engage in stretching or high-intensity physical exercises as the vaginal walls are still recovering after the surgery. The patient must not exert or even bend excessively as it can rupture the stitches, causing bleeding and collection of blood around the wound.
- Avoid using vaginal washes, lotions, and soaps around the vaginal area until the site recovers completely. Consult with your gynecologist if you’re want to use vaginal products.
- Long showers baths and over-exposure in water (swimming pool) can foster bacterial or fungal infections.
- It is mandatory to complete the full course of your medications prescribed by your surgeon for a faster and smoother recovery. Maintain a healthy diet and consume less spicy food that does not strain your genitals or let yourself get dehydrated.
When to consult a doctor ?
You can consult the doctor any time you want. The age limit for vaginoplasty is a minimum of 18 years. If you want to undergo the procedure, you can approach the gynecologist who will guide you through the best course of the procedure. The reasons to undergo vaginoplasty can be cosmetic as well as clinical. If you’re experiencing sudden urinary leakage, sexual dissatisfaction, or are prone to pelvic area collapse, you should consult the doctor.

Treatment options & cost
Non-surgical methods for vaginal tightening include home remedies that are considered effective to an extent where the vaginal opening is not significantly loose. However, the effectiveness of non-surgical treatment may not produce the desired result always and therefore, surgical procedure is the only way to achieve long-term results. One such method is laser vaginal tightening. Laser vaginal tightening is done when the vaginal looseness is not significant and does not require a major surgical procedure.
Laser vaginal tightening – It is a painless procedure for vaginal tightening that may take around 20 to 30 minutes depending upon the condition of the patient and the surgical expertise of the surgeon. Laser vaginal tightening includes a laser diode that is inserted in the cervical opening. The heat from the laser diode regenerates the cells in the vaginal walls accelerating the cell rejuvenation. This procedure attempts to change the appearance of the vagina to make it look younger. If laser vaginoplasty is done for medical reasons, it can treat vaginal laxity, enhance sexual functioning, improve mild pelvic organ prolapse, and treat urinary incontinence.
Insurance coverageThere is no such insurance coverage for a vaginoplasty since it is a cosmetic procedure and not a medical necessity. Cosmetic surgeries are usually not covered under health insurance. However, it can depend on the type of your insurance provider and the terms and conditions set by them.
Recovery rateThe recovery after vaginoplasty takes around 5-7 weeks for complete results. The gynaecologists or cosmetic surgeons will prescribe some medications along with diet charts to ease the pain after surgery. However, it is suggested that you have a well-balanced and fluid-rich diet for a fast and smoother recovery. Some of the dietary recommendations may include –
- Green leafy vegetables
- Fresh fruits
- Juices
- Milk
- Dry fruits
Patients often experience little constipation initially after the procedure due to anesthesia. Surgeons and gynecologists often recommend a fibrous diet to ease the passage of stools. Moreover, it is usually recommended that you take a light laxative and avoid spicy and cold food.
Long term outlook of the treatment
Vaginoplasty is done for the correction of the loosened vagina due to medical reasons such as improving mild pelvic organ prolapse, treating urinary incontinence, etc. However, some women may opt for vaginoplasty for cosmetic reasons like vaginal laxity, enhanced sexual functioning, etc. The results of vaginoplasty may become apparent after a few days of surgery, and you may feel a little pull or stretch around the vaginal opening. However, it may take around 1-1.5 months to fully recover and resume sexual life. The outcome of vaginoplasty surgery can remain for multiple years if the patient is following post-treatment care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Vaginoplasty results in increased sexual sensation for a better sexual life for both partners. Along with that, vaginoplasty proves to be an effective surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse, urinary stress incontinence, etc, for long-term benefits.

FAQ
Is vaginoplasty surgery painful?
No, vaginoplasty is not a painful procedure since it is done under anesthesia. However, there may be a slight pull, stretch followed by some itching, and discomfort after the surgery as the effects of anesthesia wear off. These are temporary and can resolve within a few days after medical prescriptions and rest.
What is the duration of vaginoplasty surgery?
The standard OT time of vaginoplasty can be anywhere around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the condition of the patient and the surgical expertise of the gynecologist. If the procedure is done for a cosmetic procedure, it may take less time as compared to vaginoplasty for clinical correction.
Does vaginoplasty leave any scars
