Does vaginoplasty help with prolapse? (Photo)

When talking about prolapse, we need to know if it’s an anterior prolapse like a cystocele or a posterior prolapse like a rectocele. A vaginoplasty is essentially a posterior repair, which is covered by insurance when you do it in a medical practice with a urogynecologist. If you are looking to go the cosmetic route, then a cosmetic gynecologist can certainly do a vaginoplasty on you, which would take care of a posterior prolapse. However, it is essential to understand which one you have in order to determine the best course of action, because your problem may be covered by insurance in a hospital. You should seek out the counsel of a urogynecologist to determine what type of prolapse you have and if it’s covered by insurance. I hope this helps.

Vaginoplasty does not repair a rectocele however a rectocele can and should be repaired at the same time as a vaginoplasty. I suggest you consult an experienced cosmetic gynecologist or urogynecologist that is able to repair a rectocele and do a vaginoplasty together.
