Bladder lift and vaginal wall tightening same as Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Is there a difference between seeing a urologist or a cosmetic surgeon for this problem? Would a cosmetic surgeon be more likely to address tightening, specifically tightening of the walls and entrance? Should one follow up with a cosmetic surgeon after working with the urologist? Is the result of the bladder lift and wall repair procedure actually tighten the vagina the way I read that the vaginal rejuvenation procedures claim to do?
