Am I a good candidate for vaginoplasty?

The term “vaginoplasty” refers to surgical procedures that tighten your vaginal walls. These treatments can help you restore healthy vaginal function. Pregnancy and childbirth are the leading causes of vaginal changes for most women. 

The aging process can also lead to changes in vaginal tissues. Over time, women naturally begin to produce fewer hormones. These changes can cause hormonal imbalance and lead to thinning of your vaginal walls. Normal vaginal lubrication also suffers due to hormonal fluctuations. 

If you’ve noticed changes in how your vagina feels or functions over time, vaginoplasty might be a good option. 

What happens during vaginoplasty?

At Innovative Surgical Arts Medspa, the process begins with a thorough consultation. This visit helps your surgeon better understand the goals you hope to achieve through vaginoplasty. You’ll discuss what to expect from the procedure and recovery process, giving you all the details needed to make an informed decision about your care. 

Vaginoplasty can be done using local or general anesthesia. Your practitioner discusses which approach is right for you during your consultation. Regardless of what you choose, there’s no pain during the procedure. 

Your surgeon might use techniques to restore vaginal muscles that have separated. If you have excessive mucosal tissue, that can also be removed. Excess skin in your inner or outer labia can be trimmed down to create a more streamlined vaginal appearance. There are even options that use fat transfer to reshape labia that have lost volume over time. 

The last step involves using sutures to close any incisions. You’ll receive full postoperative care instructions before your procedure. 

Are there other treatments that work well with vaginoplasty?

Many women choose to have additional treatments when they come in for vaginoplasty, such as altering the size and shape of internal or external labia. These procedures strive to create a more balanced, natural vaginal appearance. 

Renuvion® is a treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten targeted tissue, including the folds of skin around your vaginal opening. Aviva® treatments contract the tissues of your external genitalia. 

Votiva® is a treatment that addresses vaginal lubrication. If you find sex uncomfortable, your natural lubrication may be less abundant than in years past. Treatments can help while also stimulating new tissue growth in your vaginal walls.
