Age 45, on child vaginally & can pass the pencil test - do I need vaginoplasty? (Photos)

Asked By:Brave17197 in Scotland, United Kingdom

3 years ago a partner told me I wasn't as tight as his previous partners. I have been paranoid ever since. I am 45 and gave birth to one child vaginally 14 years ago. 8lbs 10, forceps + episiotomy. No issues with leaks and can even hold a 130g (4.5oz) kegel weight without any effort. Sex is good and I'm content aesthetically & can pass the pencil test! Would I be silly to get this procedure? I just want to be how I was before I had my child. But I regret having a vaginal birth and worry that I am "big" down there. Would you recommend surgery?
