Vagina Tightening (Vaginoplasty – Surgery)

What is Vagina Tightening (Vaginoplasty)?

Vagina Tightening, that is, vaginoplasty operation, is the name given to the surgical operation performed inside the vagina for the purpose of narrowing and tightening the vagina.

Vaginoplasty is a procedure that is mostly applied to reduce the enlarged vagina volume after vaginal delivery and to increase its tightness. Especially in difficult vaginal births, tears occur in the inner mucosa and muscles of the vagina as the baby’s head and body pass through the vagina. Although most of these tears are repaired immediately after birth, the enlarged vagina cannot shrink to its former volume before birth, it loses its tightness and grip, and the vaginal entrance widens.

In women who have not given birth normally, the outer and inner lips (labium major and minor) located in the genital area cover the vaginal entrance together and the inside of the vagina is usually not visible when viewed from the outside. However, after a normal delivery, the inner and outer lips cannot adequately close the vaginal entrance due to the enlarged and stretched vagina entrance and volume due to the small tears created by the baby’s head and body as it passes, and the inside of the vagina appears quite wide when viewed from the outside. This may worsen as the number of normal births increases.

For What Purpose Are Vagina Tightening Surgeries Performed?

The vagina has the ability to stretch and expand anatomically enough to give birth normally. However, in cases of overweight baby, rapid or difficult delivery, or especially after normal delivery without episiotomy, deep tears may occur in the vagina. Even if these tears are repaired immediately after delivery, they can cause the vagina to expand more than normal and this enlargement may be permanent. The tightness of the vagina is very important in terms of sexual satisfaction of men and women during sexual intercourse. In women who have had a large number of normal vaginal deliveries or have a history of difficult/overweight babies, the vaginal muscles cannot contract sufficiently during sexual intercourse due to tearing and stretching of the intravaginal muscles, and the feeling of abundance and enlargement in the vagina reduces the feeling of sexual satisfaction.

Women often feel that the quality of sexual life decreases after childbirth, that the vagina cannot grasp the penis as much as before, that it loses its tightness and that there is an enlargement. For many women who do not know the exact cause of the problem or think that the problem is unsolvable because they cannot share it with their environment, this situation can cause a loss of self-confidence. However, this problem can be easily solved with vaginal tightening operation or Laser Vagina tightening methods. The surgical intervention applied to the vagina to return to the normal functions of the sexual organs and to increase the quality of sexual life is called VAGINOPLASTY.

Is There Any Enlargement In The Vagina After Vaginoplasty Operation?

After vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening, vaginal aesthetics), the vagina is narrowed and tightened without giving birth. From the first sexual intercourse you will have after the surgery, the vagina expands a little in a way that it can take the penis and grasp it. You may feel some pain during the first sexual intercourse as the submucosal muscles are also brought closer and strengthened during the surgery, but if necessary, it is sufficient to use a light lubricant gel. In order to maintain this tightness obtained by vaginoplasty, it is recommended to do kegel exercises that will strengthen the intravaginal muscles. If the person is planning to become pregnant after the operation, it is not recommended to have a vaginal delivery because the vagina will expand again due to the baby’s head and body during normal delivery. If the person becomes pregnant, a cesarean delivery can be planned.

How Much is the Vagina Narrowed in Vaginoplasty (Vagina Tightening) Operation?

In the vaginoplasty operation, the torn and enlarged vaginal mucosa tissue is appropriately removed along the entire length of the vagina as needed, and the tissues are sutured again. In the meantime, the connective and muscle tissue under the vaginal mucosa is sutured with approximation stitches to increase tightness. If there is sagging in the bladder neck located on the anterior wall of the vagina, while the anterior wall is corrected, the bladder neck is also raised and supportive stitches are placed on the back of the bladder and corrected. At the end of all this, the vagina becomes tighter and narrower as if it had never given birth, and the ability to grasp increases.

What are the Benefits of Vaginoplasty Operation?

Especially in women who have given one or more normal births, the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina become loose and cambered due to torn and stretched connective and muscle tissue, and ligaments that stretch and become loose due to straining and pushing during delivery. Collagen and elastin fibers lost due to advancing age also accelerate the aging process of the vagina and the vagina loses its tightness, relaxes, bladder neck and uterus hang down. The patient begins to talk about urinary incontinence or a palpable mass. The palpable mass may be the bladder protruding from the protruding vagina, or the rectum located on the posterior wall, or the uterus itself may hang down completely. Without experiencing all these processes, it is possible to get extremely effective, pleasing and satisfactory results with the vaginoplasty operation performed at the beginning of the complaints.
