Why Surgical Vaginoplasty ?

Females today have option of both surgical and non surgical vaginal tightening and they are often confused as to which one to choose. Let us see when should surgical approach be chosen:

1. When there is a large area of vaginal laxity, surgical approach is usually preferred.

2. When the patient is outstation or coming from far away place, it is better to go for surgical method as coming again and again is often difficult.

3. When other surgical procedures need to be combined along with vaginoplasty eg cystocele repair or hymenoplasty, it is best to go for surgical approach.

4. When your family is complete and you want to retain results for longer time.

Timing of the Surgery

Surgery is usually preferred to be done immediate post menstrual. Females who only use tampons during menses, should get their menses postponed as tampon should not be used for atleast 8 weeks.

Pre Operative Assessment
