Can I get a vaginoplasty if I haven't had kids?

For some women who haven't had children, vaginoplasty is an excellent option. For others, it is not. For some, a perineoplasty is the perfect choice. For others, it is not. An exam in person would be required to determine if it would be right for you. You should start with a virtual consultation with a vaginoplasty expert to discuss details.

Thank you for your questionThe term vaginoplasty is being used to refer to a variety of procedures to repair the vaginal entrance and canal. Whether you would benefit from vaginal surgery would depend on the condition of your vagina. I have performed vaginal reconstruction on many patients who never had children with good results but have refused to operate on others because surgery would not be beneficial. Find a responsible surgeon to do an exam and give you an accurate and realistic evaluation.

Vaginoplasty is a procedure that restores form, function and pleasure. You are not alone, many patients that consult with me and have the procedure performed often complain of loss of sensation, inability to grip and want to be tighter. So what about lasers? What is actually done during vaginoplasty?
Whether you use radio frequency technology (ThermiVa) or Fractional Co2 lasers (Femilift/Mona lisa touch) they resurface skin, whether your talking about the skin of the vagina or the face. Lasers are excellent for increasing lubrication when aroused, correction of mild to modest urinary incontinence or 10% improvement (at best) in vaginal tightness. To truly correct vaginal laxity and tighten the vagina long term, you should consider Vaginoplasty. Vaginoplasty or better termed "Complete pelvic reconstruction " is a surgery designed to correct rectal and vaginal prolapse and restore the biomechanics of intercourse. Complete pelvic reconstruction involves three distinct steps. First, is the site-specific repair of the rectal prolapse along with re-suturing the muscles of the vagina back to the midline causing a decrease in the internal diameter of the vagina. Second, is removal of inelastic scar tissue of the perineum. Lastly, aesthetically rebuilding the muscles of the perineum creating a downward angle of the vagina which causes the toy, finger or penis to press more firmly against your G-spot hopefully making sex more enjoyable again.The next step is to schedule an in person or virtual consult to discuss your particular anatomy, desires and goals.

Thank you for your question. The short answer is yes, of course you can have a vaginoplasty if you have not had children or not planning on any. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, good luck!

hello , under the conditions you described, vaginoplasty procedure can be performed even if you do not have children.

Hello I would like to clarify that vagina is not a muscle but a mucosal tissue which has dense fibrous tissue underneath. Only one third of the entrance of the vagina is surrounded by pelvic floor muscles. vaginal laser is very effective for mucosal and skin tissue tightness and it also increases the collagen at the submucosal level. I think you would get benefit from it. there is another way for tightening of the vagina and the perinea other than surgery is Aptos threads. This effect would last for 2-3 years and it is done under local anesthesia. non surgical procedures needs readmissions. other than that they are very effective. I hope this info would help you.All the best

Th short answer is yes. but it depends on what your exam shows. For some women the vagina has lost the tightness that was present previously. It is important to have an exam to verify that a vaginoplasty is the procedure to give you the desired outcome you are seeking. I caution you to not base your decision on the size of a partner. Base it on what makes you fell comfortable. Consult a qualified cosmetic gynecologist and have an examination. Discuss your desired outcome. Best regards.

We see patients with complaints such as this, and the short answer is YES, surgery is possible.The question is whether there is another option to help that might be less invasive or traumatic, such as pelvic floor physical therapy, use of vaginal weights, or consideration of Viveve.

After a detailed examination and necesaary imaging test ( TVUSG), Vaginoplasty can be offered to you if you give your consent including the possible effects.

Q: Will vaginal reconstructive surgery (vaginoplasty) correct a feeling of loose and wide vagina?
A: No, in this situation presented by you. Why? Because you do not have an established definitive diagnosis. I clinically studied this topic and published my findings in the medical literature.
You can make an initial diagnosis by asking yourself questions:
1. Is your current sexual partner’s penis significantly smaller than other partners? If yes, the bigger size repetitively over-stretched the muscular vaginal layer, and the body healed it by scaring the vaginal walls,
2. Does your mother or sister(s) or your sister(s) suffer from this condition? It can indicate genetic origin,
3. Did you notice too much mucus (mucorrhea) during sexual intercourse? It may be responsible for the feeling of a smooth vagina.
If you identified one or more points presented above, surgery would not help you.
Your doctor must check for:
1. The vaginal walls and outlet functional elasticity, including elastin determination within the vaginal wall tissues.
2. Collagen deficiency (collagen type I and III and their ratio).
When all results are negative, you can consider surgical treatment but a laser or unproven safety and effectiveness equipment.
