Tell me more about vaginal tightening.

Vaginoplasty is an invasive cosmetic procedure that tightens the vaginal tissue and muscles. This, in turn, tightens the area overall.

 

What are the benefits of vaginal tightening surgery?

Patients at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic undergo vaginal tightening surgery to improve gratification during sexual intercourse for both themselves and their partners. It can also improve the appearance of the area and help with stress urinary incontinence.

 

What's the difference between vaginoplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, vaginal reconstruction and vaginal enhancement?

Basically, they are all just different ways of saying vaginal tightening. They may also include other surgeries that target a woman's genitalia, such as labioplasty (also spelled labiaplasty) and hymenoplasty.

 

Who cannot undergo vaginal tightening surgery?

Responsible cosmetic surgeons will not perform on women who are pregnant. However, the surgery is extremely popular for women who have recovered from childbirth.

 

How long does vaginoplasty surgery take?

This depends on whether another procedure is performed simultaneously. It can take up to an hour and a half.

 

What other types of surgeries can be performed with vaginal tighteining?

Labioplasty, breast augmentation and a nose job (rhinoplasty) are a few examples of cosmetic surgical procedures that can be performed simultaneously. However, the cosmetic surgeon chosen to perform your vaginoplasty will be able to determine whether it is possible to perform another procedure at the same time.

 

What type of anaesthesia is used?

Either a local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic is used.

 

Does vaginal tightening hurt?

Because anaesthesia is administered, patients shouldn't feel any pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort following vaginal tightening can be alleviated by prescribed pain medication.

 

What does vaginal tightening entail?

Even before you undergo the procedure, a consultation will be arranged with a cosmetic surgeon at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. You'll be able to express your expectations and learn more about the procedure. Then, once you're sure vaginal tightening will be able to achieve your goals, your cosmetic surgeon will assess your health and make sure you're physically and mentally prepared for the procedure. A pregnancy and blood test may also be taken.

The actual procedure involves incisions made in the genital area so that loose muscles can be tightened or shortened. The diameter of the vaginal opening is reduced by minimizing the amount of vaginal lining (mucosa). Excess skin may also be removed. Once this is completed, any incisions are closed with sutures or staples and the area is dressed.

 

What should I expect following the vaginoplasty surgery?

Transportation home should be arranged prior to the procedure, as you will most likely not be fit to drive or take public transit. Expect some tenderness, bruising and swelling in the area which should subside once healed. To facilitate the recovery process, sexual intercourse and other activity in the vaginal area should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks. This includes the use of tampons. During this time, avoid lifting heavy objects as well.

Patients typically return to sedentary work within a couple of days to a week.

 

When will I see results?

The true results of your vaginoplasty procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic will appear within 2 to 3 weeks following surgery. By this time, all swelling will have subsided.

 

How about scarring?

As incisions are required during vaginal tightening, some scarring may result. However, your cosmetic surgeon at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic will make all efforts to place the incisions in a discreet location, mainly inside the vagina or in a natural crease or fold in the area. With proper care, these scars will eventually fade into a barely noticeable and fine line.

 

What are the risks of this vaginoplasty procedure?

Like any surgery, vaginoplasty has its risks and complications. Some of these risks included those associated with the use of anaesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Following the instructions given to you by your cosmetic surgeon will minimize the chance of any risks to occur.
