What is Vaginoplasty?
At Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery, we know that women today have a lot to be concerned about, and we don't want discomfort and low self-esteem from weak vaginal walls to be one of them. Vaginoplasty (or surgical vaginal rejuvenation/reshaping) is a surgical procedure used to tighten and strengthen the walls of the vagina, which may become lax over time because of childbirth, age, genetics, or significant weight loss. Plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang offers surgical vaginal rejuvenation to strengthen the vagina and/or restructure the inner and outer labia. If you are embarrassed by the appearance of your vagina or you are suffering from soreness or pain in your vagina, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mang to learn more about how vaginoplasty could help you.

How Is Vaginoplasty Performed?
Your vaginoplasty will remove the stretched vaginal tissue and tighten the muscle and soft tissue in that area. This is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Your surgery will begin with Dr. Mang creating incisions in discreet locations near the vagina and then gently tightening the muscle tissue beneath your skin. Next, the opening of the vagina is made smaller by removing a portion of the vaginal lining (mucosa). If you are combining your vaginoplasty with a labiaplasty, Dr. Mang will perform that surgery following the vaginoplasty. At the conclusion of the procedure(s), Dr. Mang will carefully sew close the incisions for optimal results and minimal scarring.
What Can I Expect After Vaginoplasty?
After your vaginoplasty, you can expect a bit of discomfort and pain, as well as bruising and swelling. It is recommended that you do not engage in sexual intercourse, use tampons, or overexert yourself for about 4 – 6 weeks following your surgery. In most situations, you can return to sedentary work in about a week and return to normal everyday activities after about three months. Once you've recovered from the surgery, you will have a renewed vaginal opening that feels and looks better. We've had patients experience heightened sensitivity and increased friction during intercourse.
Vaginoplasty FAQ
Why is vaginoplasty done?
Vaginoplasty (or surgical vaginal rejuvenation/reshaping) is a surgical procedure used to tighten and strengthen the walls of the vagina, which may become lax over time because of childbirth, age, genetics, or significant weight loss.
How long does a vaginoplasty surgery take?
An average vaginoplasty surgery takes Dr. Mang about 1 - 2 hours to complete.
Are you asleep during a vaginoplasty?
Yes, a vaginoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep during the procedure.
How long is recovery from vaginoplasty?
Typically, most women are able to return to light activities, including work, after a week. You will still need to avoid vigorous physical activity and exercise and try to avoid friction around the incisions. Dr. Mang will advise you to avoid sexual intercourse, using tampons, or overexerting yourself for about 4 – 6 weeks following your surgery. The usual time for a full return to normal activities is three months.
Can I have children after a vaginoplasty?
Dr. Mang recommends that you wait until you are finished having children before having a vaginoplasty procedure done. You can still have children after a vaginoplasty; however, childbirth stretches the muscles and tissues of the vaginal canal, which could require a second vaginoplasty procedure.
