There's no problem at all with having a vaginoplasty or perineoplasty done with an IUD in place. I've done many of these operations and I've replaced many IUDs in women who have had these procedures done in the past. In case you didn't know, the Mirena IUD is approved for 8 years for birth control since 2022 even if your IUD was placed before 2022.  I'm surprised that others who have commented on your query don't know this.

You can have a vaginoplasty without risk to the IUD that is in place. It won't be more difficult to remove or replace your IUD because of your vaginoplasty.

thank you for your questionYes you can have vaginoplasty with a Mirena. The only risk is that the Mirena can get accidentally pulled out but a stay suture on the cervix can help avoid this from happening

Yes, you may have a vaginoplasty or any pelvic repair, for that matter, with an IUD in place. Future replacements of your IUD would not be difficult.
Best of luck,

Hello, there is no harm in having vaginoplasty and perinoplasty surgery while you have Mirena IUD. It can be easily removed or replaced with a new one after five years.
