Vaginal tightening
This is the surgical procedure for vaginal relaxation, which occurs when the vaginal supports lose their tone, strength and control. It is a very common proceudre and is sometimes performed together with a labia reductio for women looking to have a complete genitl makeover.
The vagina can become quite roomy and slack, as its supporting muscles and tissues become stretched and torn during childbirth. Unfortunately, it does not usually return to its pre-pregnancy state and Kegel’s pelvic floor exercises do not always help. Thus, the vagina is no longer at its best possible sexual functioning state. Many women complain of loss of sensation during sexual intercourse, which reduces sexual satisfaction for them, and also for their partners. It is quite common for this to be the source of disharmony and resentment. Worse still, the emotional toll with loss of self-esteem and confidence can result in fear of entering another relationship or even guilt, self-blame or depression.
Vaginal tightening surgically restores the stretched or damaged supporting tissues and the muscles of the perineum. The stretched and excess vaginal skin is removed resulting in immediate reduction in vaginal size, which should allow more friction and return of sensation during sexual intercourse.
The operation is usually performed under a general anaesthetic and takes about two hours to complete. After your procedure you will remain in hospital overnight.
AFTER THE PROCEDURE
You should expect some swelling and discomfort following the procedure. . You will have sutures that may need to be removed if they are not dissolvable. Your surgeon will advise you about this also. Most patients notice a significant improvement in the bruising and swelling after the first week but it can take some time for everything to settle completely. You will want to book about 1 to 2 weeks off work.
The operation is very worthwhile in women who are seriously affected in their personal realtionships because of this problem.
