How long does a vaginoplasty last?

Question

I've read reviews where women claim a Vaginoplasty will stretch out after having intercourse several times. If someone does not do anything extremely traumatic, like child birth, after vaginal tightening, will the results last at least 10 years? Is vaginal rejuvenation appropriate for women who have not had children, and just want to return to a virginal size?

A well conducted vaginoplasty should last forever unless you destroy the repair by having vaginal childbirth or extremely large vaginal insertions with fisting or sex toys. If the vagina loosens after having "normal" sex several times, it's unlikely that the vaginoplasty was well conducted. Common points of failure would be the omission of a proper levatorplasty and identification and repair of a rectocele (which is present in over 90 percent of my patients). Obviously, some vaginas are more damaged than others and not everyone can be restored to a "virginal size" especially if the internal muscles are avulsed or paralyzed.

Hello, Vaginal canal is a 12-15 cm long canal which is a mucosal tissue, means loose connective tissue, and surrounded by pelvic floor muscles. vaginal tightening surgery should be performed to the first 10 cm or longer of the vagina. during the vaginal tightening surgery the surrounder muscles at the vaginal entrance also are tighten. If it is done properly the vaginal tightening effect would continue for years but I cannot say will be as good as the first year after 10 years. I would recommend women who have vaginal tightening surgery to have non invasive procedure after 2 years like femilift laser, aptos vaginal threads or Emsella. Briefly, vaginal tissue and surrounding tissue should be addressed for the vaginal tightening surgeries. only vaginal mucosal correction would not be sufficient.

Thank you for your questionVaginoplasty literally means plastic surgery of the vagina. There are several procedures that can be called "vaginoplasty" and what is repaired and the quality of repair can differ. For example, a "site specific defect repair" will will usually give a more solid result than an"anterior/posterior repair" of the vaginal canal. In addition, size of partner and frequency of intercourse can affect longevity.Vaginal rejuvenation is not a procedure but is the result of procedures that make the vagina more youthful. Therefore, whether any of these procedures are "appropriate" depends on what condition the vagina is in and the preferences of the woman.

hello, of course, there will be no re-enlargement in the relationship entered after properly performed vaginoplasty. however, if you are considering a normal delivery, it would be appropriate to plan your vaginoplasty surgery after delivery. If you are planning a cesarean section, vaginoplasty can always be done. get well soon

The corrections made during a surgical vaginoplasty are permanent, however you will continue to have other factors such as aging or future pregnancies impact your results.  Non surgical vaginal rejuvenation is a good option for women who would like improvement and who are willing to return every few years for a treatment to maintain results.
