What to expect during vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure in an accredited surgical center with the patient under general anesthesia. The surgery will begin with Dr. Katzen creating incisions in discreet locations on the sides of the vagina and then gently tightening the muscle tissue beneath the skin. The vaginal opening will also be reduced in size by removing a portion of the vaginal lining (mucosa). If you plan to combine your vaginoplasty with a labiaplasty, Dr. Katzen will perform the labiaplasty surgery afterward. Following your procedure, Dr. Katzen will carefully close the incisions for optimal results and minimal scarring.

About Ushow long is recovery after vaginoplasty?
You can expect a bit of pain and tenderness following the surgery. Swelling and bruising are also common following a vaginoplasty procedure. It's recommended that you avoid sexual intercourse, tampon use, or strenuous exercise for about 4 – 6 weeks. In most circumstances, you will be able to return to seated work in about a week with a full return to daily activities at around three months. After recovering from the surgical procedure, you can expect a renewed vaginal opening that looks and feels slimmer and tighter. Some patients even report heightened sensitivity and increased friction during intercourse.

Vaginoplasty FAQs
How long do vaginoplasty results last?
The majority of patients will only need one vaginoplasty in their lifetime because the results are enduring and long-lasting. However, your outcomes could be compromised if you gain or lose a lot of weight, become pregnant, or give birth vaginally.
Can I get pregnant after my surgery?
Dr. Katzen advises patients considering vaginoplasty to be past their planned pregnancies because childbirth can drastically affect your surgical outcomes. If you plan to have more children, you should postpone your procedure until your family is complete. If you do become pregnant after vaginoplasty, you may have an additional surgery to refresh your results.
Are there any risks from vaginoplasty?
The most common risks of vaginoplasty are bleeding, infection, and scarring. Vaginoplasty is considered a safe procedure with very few side effects. In fact, the adverse effects of pregnancy are greater than those associated with this surgery.
Is vaginoplasty a painful procedure?
While discomfort is expected during the recovery period, proper pain management techniques are employed to minimize any discomfort. Dr. Katzen and his team prioritize patient comfort throughout the process.
Will vaginoplasty affect sexual sensation?
Vaginoplasty is designed to enhance sexual satisfaction by tightening the vaginal canal. Many patients report increased sensation and pleasure during intercourse following the procedure.
What is the difference between vaginoplasty and labiaplasty?
Vaginoplasty focuses on tightening the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues, while Labiaplasty involves reshaping and reducing the size of the labia minora or majora. Both procedures can be performed separately or together to enhance vaginal aesthetics and function.
