I'm in my mid to late 40s, very healthy and fit at 5' 4" and 121 lbs. After delivering 7 babies (5 vaginally), I plan to have a tummy tuck and vaginoplasty. How long would you recommend waiting in-between and which surgery would you recommend having first?
Answer: Tummy Tuck First or Vaginoplasty First? There's no right answer. We frequently do them on the same day if the tummy tuck is expected to be two hours or less. For someone of your size, the recovery from a tummy tuck until you can go back to a desk job is around 3 weeks. Recovery from a vaginoplasty until you can go back to a desk job is around 3 days and return to sex is around 8 weeks. If you want detailed specific info, I recommend a virtual consultation

Answer: WAITNG TIME BETWEEN VAGINOPLASTY AND TUMMY TUCK Thank you for your questionAfter seven babies I can understand why you would like a vaginal reconstruction. The most important question is what type of procedures are needed. The word vaginoplasty literally means plastic surgery of the vagina. It originally was used to refer to the creation of a new vagina but is now generally used to describe any of the procedures to repair and improve the functioning of the vagina. The vagina is a tube shaped organ connected on six sides(apex, entrance, anterior or bladder side, posterior or rectal side, and the two lateral sides). Depending on the defects, any or all of these sides may need repair and each is repaired differently. Also, there are different approaches to these repairs which which are qualitatively different giving different results. I would suggest you do your homework and find a surgeon who can do an enterocoele repair(apex) , site specific defect repair of the anterior vagina(bladder side) and posterior (rectal side) and perineum(orifice). Either case can be done first though I think it easier if you do vaginal case first. I suggest 8 weeks between . Carefully review reviews and before and after photos

Answer: Vaginoplasty and Tummy tuck Bududaddy, You can have both the vaginoplasty and the tummy tuck done at the same time. There is no reason to wait for recovery from one procedure to be able to do the other.

Answer: Waiting time between Tummy Tuck and vaginoplasty? How long in between and which one to do first? Hi budu, I am not sure what symptoms you are having with your vagina, but if they are completely cosmetic , you could probably do both procedures at the same time. I have dome tummy tucks with a urogynecologust who can repair laxity withing the vaginal area and the patients have done well. I think that you should meet with both types of surgeons who can work together to give you the best result and help you make an informed decision. Hope this helps a bit, Best, Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Order of procedures You can elect to have either procedure done first, however the recovery is longer for the tummy tuck. You may be a candidate for a non surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure depending on your needs and goals. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
