Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to reconstruct or reshape the vagina. The surgery is typically performed on women who experience changes in the structure of the vaginal canal due to aging, childbirth, or other medical conditions.
The procedure can involve different techniques depending on the desired outcome, but generally, the goal of vaginoplasty is to tighten and strengthen the vaginal canal, restore the vaginal opening to a more youthful appearance, and improve sexual function.
There are different types of vaginoplasty, including:
Traditional vaginoplasty: This involves removing excess vaginal tissue and tightening the vaginal walls and muscles.
Perineoplasty: This procedure focuses on the area around the opening of the vagina, called the perineum. It involves tightening the muscles and tissues in this area to improve the appearance and function of the vagina.
Clitoral hood reduction: This procedure involves removing excess tissue from the clitoral hood, which can improve sexual sensation and pleasure.
Vaginoplasty is a major surgical procedure that carries risks, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider who can evaluate your individual needs and help you understand the potential benefits and risks of the procedure.
