What is Vaginoplasty? Why Is It Performed?

Vaginoplasty is a gynaecological surgery that provides a tighter and more aesthetic appearance of the vagina. With this surgery, it is aimed to repair the sagging and loosened muscles that occur in the vagina due to various reasons.

Sagging and enlargement can occur in the vagina for many different reasons. One of the most common reasons is giving birth. Most of the time, the vagina can return to its former state after birth. However, tears during labour or difficult births can cause changes in the appearance of the vagina.

Another factor that causes the vaginal muscles to relax is menopause. With the realisation of menopause, the secretion of estrogen hormone stops. Since the estrogen hormone keeps the vaginal muscles strong, these muscles weaken when this hormone is not secreted.

Aging associated with menopause can also cause vaginal sagging and enlargement. 'Hysterectomy' surgery, which means removal of the uterus, can also cause vaginal prolapse. Lifting very heavy objects also plays a role in weakening the pelvic muscles.

In some people, the vagina may have a genetically wide structure. The mentioned factors are among the main reasons for the need for genital plastic surgery. Thanks to this surgery, the appearance of the vagina can be improved and the vaginal canal can be narrowed. Genital area aesthetics can help women increase their self-confidence by providing a more aesthetic vagina appearance.


How is Vaginoplasty Performed?

Most of the time, genital area aesthetics are performed using general anaesthesia. In some cases, the procedure can also be performed under local anaesthesia. During the procedure, the muscles in the back of the vagina are combined and the excess skin on the vulva is removed, giving the vagina a more aesthetic appearance. The operation is usually performed within one or two hours. Patients do not need to be hospitalised except in exceptional cases. Melting sutures are preferred in the suturing part of the procedure. In this way, stitches do not need to be removed.

To Whom Can Vaginoplasty Operation Be Applied?

Genital area surgery is a type of aesthetic operation preferred by people who do not like the appearance of their vagina. This operation can also be preferred for women who have undergone sex reassignment surgery to have a more aesthetic appearance of the vagina. However, patients must meet certain criteria in order to have the surgery in question.

In order for the surgery to be performed, the patient should not have health problems such as vaginal infection and urinary tract infection. Genital aesthetics cannot be applied to women who experience abnormal vaginal bleeding outside the menstrual period. Doctors perform detailed examinations and examinations on patients to determine whether the procedure can be performed.

What Should Be Considered Before and After Vaginoplasty?

Since genital area aesthetics is an operation, it is necessary to pay attention to some factors before and after the operation. Doctors inform patients in detail about what these factors are.

For example, it is very important to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption before and after surgery.

Because smoking and alcohol consumption can delay and complicate the healing process. It is not recommended to use aspirin and some other types of medication before surgery.

Following a healthy diet routine before and after surgery can help the healing process.
