Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens the vaginal canal, reapproximates the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissue, most often to address laxity that develops after childbirth, with age, or due to genetics. It's designed to restore tone and structure, which can improve both physical comfort and sexual satisfaction.

Good candidates are generally healthy adults who are experiencing vaginal/pelvic floor laxity, urinary incontinence — often after vaginal childbirth — and who are not planning future pregnancies, since vaginal delivery after the procedure can affect results. The best way to know for sure is a one-on-one consultation, where we'll talk through your history, goals, and whether vaginoplasty (or a non-surgical alternative) makes sense for you.

Labiaplasty reshapes the external labia, while vaginoplasty addresses the internal vaginal canal and muscle tone. Some patients choose to combine the two if they have concerns in both areas — we'll help you figure out what fits your goals.

Vaginoplasty involves tightening the vaginal muscles and removing excess lax tissue. Your surgeon will walk you through the specific technique and what to expect for your individual case during your consultation.

Most patients experience some soreness and swelling in the days following surgery, similar to other pelvic procedures. This is generally well managed with prescribed pain medication and typically improves significantly within the first 3-5 days after the procedure.

Most patients take about one to two weeks off work and normal activities, with a longer window — usually six to eight weeks — before resuming intercourse or strenuous exercise. We'll give you a personalized recovery timeline and follow up with you at each stage of healing.

Initial swelling takes a few weeks to resolve, and final results generally settle in around three months, once tissues have fully healed.
