I have been told I have stage 2 cystocele and every doctor refuses for surgery and tells me to see a physical therapist and use a pessary. I’m 35 and don’t want to live like that. I have no symptoms at all, no incontinence I just don’t like the look of it and I don’t like the wideness. I just want to do a vaginoplasty and pay for it myself, I don’t really care if the prolapse is there as long as I don’t see it. Can I do vaginoplasty?

Answer: Vaginoplasty Absolutely, a vaginoplasty can be performed without a cystocele correction. Particularly if you are symptom-free. Discuss your concerns with a skilled urogynecologist or cosmetic gynecologist.

Answer: Off course you can do a vaginoplasty! I do believe it’s been summed up by others, but a general gynecologist who does not perform cosmetic procedures will tell you no surgery is needed yet. Often, a prolapse that reaches 3rd to 4th degree will be recommended for surgery. In your case, if the appearance or functionality is not to your liking then a surgical correction of vaginoplasty (tightening the entire length of the vagina, often with a cystocele correction if needed) and a perineoplasty (tightening the opening) will achieve an aesthetically “closed” vagina which is also more snug during intercourse. It is best that you get evaluated by a cosmetic gynecologist for such a surgery. This surgery is performed on a weekly basis in my practice as the desire for improvement in appearance and function is top priority for many women. Many of my patients fly in internationally and make a mini vacation stay out of their surgery. But I do feel recovery can be rough for about a week and best to travel with someone if you plan to have the surgery away from home. Good luck with everything!
