What is Vaginoplasty Vaginal Tightening Surgery?
Vaginoplasty | Vaginal tightening surgery is a surgical procedure, also known medically as vaginoplasty. This procedure is usually performed in cases where the vaginal canal is widened or loosened. It may usually be due to conditions such as postpartum vaginal widening, vaginal loosening due to aging, or vaginal deformities that occur after trauma.
During this surgery, the primary goal is to correct the deformed muscle and fascia structures in the pelvic floor and restore the former tightness of the vagina. This procedure increases the diameter and tightness of the vagina by reshaping the tissue and muscles around the vagina. In this way, more satisfaction and comfort can be achieved during sexual experiences. However, it is important that this surgery is performed by a gynecologist who is experienced in this field and has knowledge of vaginal anatomy and female anatomy. Excessive narrowing during surgery can cause the person to feel pain during sexual activity and may cause sexual dysfunction in the person. An incomplete or incorrectly performed surgery may lead to unsuccessful results and the need for re-surgery.
Vaginoplasty | Vaginal tightening surgery is preferred for functional recovery or to correct sexual health problems. This surgery may be preferred in cases where there is a decrease or discomfort during sexual intercourse, especially due to vaginal expansion.
Vaginoplasty | The surgery is usually performed under sedation or general anesthesia and takes a few hours. Although the recovery period after the surgery varies from person to person, it usually takes a few weeks and the return to sexual activity usually occurs after a few weeks.
Vaginal tightening surgery is an option that has the potential to increase women’s sexual health and self-confidence and, in some cases, to allow them to enjoy sexual intercourse more. However, this surgery should be carefully evaluated and a specialist should be consulted beforehand.
Permanence of Vaginal Tightening Surgery
Vaginoplasty | The permanence of vaginal tightening surgery depends on many factors and can vary from person to person. However, when performed correctly, the results of this surgery can usually be permanent.
Correct surgical technique: The success and permanence of the surgery are directly related to the surgeon’s experience and the surgical technique he/she applies. Since it is a procedure that requires expertise and experience, it is important that the surgeon who will perform the vaginal tightening surgery is knowledgeable of the female anatomy, experienced and an expert in his/her field.
Person’s anatomy and body structure: Each woman’s body structure is different, and this can affect the results of the surgery. Some women may naturally have more elastic tissue, in which case the vagina may be more likely to widen again after surgery. However, when the correct surgical technique is applied and appropriate postoperative care is provided, the results can usually be permanent.
Postpartum condition: Vaginal tightening surgery is usually preferred in cases of vaginal widening or loosening after birth. However, if the woman gives birth later, the vagina may widen again and the postoperative results may be affected. Therefore, if a second pregnancy is planned after surgery, this should be discussed with the surgeon in advance.
Lifestyle and activities: Excessive physical activity or activities such as heavy lifting can affect post-operative recovery and negatively affect the durability of the results. It is important to follow the instructions recommended by the surgeon carefully during the post-operative period.
In general, the durability of vaginal tightening surgery should be evaluated by using the correct surgical techniques, following a proper recovery process, and considering the individual’s anatomical characteristics. Therefore, it is important to have a detailed consultation with a specialist surgeon before surgery.
Vaginal Tightening Recovery Process
Vaginoplasty | The recovery process after vaginal tightening surgery may vary depending on factors such as the person’s anatomical structure, surgical technique, and general health status. However, in general, the recovery process consists of the following stages:
Hospital Stay: Vaginal tightening surgery usually requires a one-day stay in the hospital. The patient is monitored for the first few hours after surgery and can be discharged home after the effects of anesthesia wear off.
Pain and Discomfort: Pain, swelling, and discomfort are normal for the first few days after surgery. These symptoms usually decrease over time and can be controlled with painkillers and rest for most patients.
Recovery and Activity: The recovery process varies from person to person, but usually lasts a few weeks. Rest and bed rest are recommended for the first few days after surgery. The patient can then begin light activities, but excessive physical activity should be avoided.
Wound Care: Wound care should be performed as recommended by the surgeon and the surgical area should be kept clean. Careful hygiene should be provided during the recovery process to reduce the risk of infection.
Return to Sexual Intercourse: Return to sexual intercourse after surgery should usually be done at the time recommended by the surgeon. This period can usually vary from a few weeks to a few months and will depend on the recovery process determined by the surgeon.
Follow-up Exams: Post-operative check-ups should be performed at the time intervals determined by the surgeon. These exams monitor post-operative recovery and evaluate surgical results when necessary.
The recovery process after vaginal tightening surgery may vary from patient to patient, but it usually progresses smoothly if the patient receives appropriate care and follows the surgeon’s recommendations.
How Many Centimeters Should the Optimum Vagina Width Be?
Vaginoplasty | The optimal width of the vagina can vary depending on many factors and can vary from woman to woman. The width of the vagina can be affected by factors such as the woman’s anatomical structure, age, birth history, hormonal status and level of sexual activity. Therefore, it is difficult to determine a definitive “optimal” width and can vary from person to person.
However, in general, the average width of the vagina can vary between approximately 2 and 3 centimeters. This measurement is taken from the narrowest part of the vagina and is valid at rest. The vagina can expand when aroused or during intercourse, and this is a normal physiological response.
The width of the vagina is important for the woman’s sexual health and comfort. Ideally, the width of the vagina should be wide enough to make both the woman and her partner feel comfortable during intercourse. This ensures that there is no pain or discomfort during intercourse.
Vaginal tightening surgery also plays an important role in this context. Vaginal tightening surgery is preferred in cases where the vagina is widened or loosened and restores the optimum width by increasing the diameter and tightness of the vagina. However, it should be noted that this surgery is for suitable candidates.
