Vaginoplasty Turkey
Vaginoplasty refers to operations performed to restore the former tightness of a widened vagina. The organ where sexuality is experienced in women is called the vagina, and the aesthetic operation performed on the vagina is called vaginoplasty.
The average length of the vagina is about 8 or 9 cm. The organ that uses its expansion feature at the highest level during vaginal birth does not fully return to its original state after delivery. In difficult deliveries and in cases of giving birth to a large baby, the connective and muscle tissue of the vagina suffers significant damage, resulting in permanent widening of the vagina. Due to this widening, individuals may experience problems in their own or their partner's sexual life. In such cases, the person seeks ways to restore the vagina to its former state. Vaginoplasty operations are performed by gynecologists. The aim of Antalya vaginoplasty surgery is to tighten the vagina and restore its former tightness.
Vaginal tightening surgeries and vaginal aesthetics are referred to as vaginoplasty in medical terminology. Surgical vaginal tightening operations are among the most frequently performed procedures in cosmetic gynecology, just like labioplasty surgeries. Vaginal tightening surgeries are reconstructive operations performed by gynecologists.
In women, the vagina consists of connective tissue and muscle tissue. Aging, vaginal births, abortions, pregnancies, and similar interventions affect the connective and muscle tissue, leading to vaginal widening. The main cause of widening is giving birth vaginally. Difficult deliveries cause tears in the connective and muscle tissue of the vagina, resulting in permanent widening. Additionally, in cases where vaginal birth is planned and after the onset of normal delivery labor, if the baby cannot descend into the pelvic cavity and a cesarean section is performed, vaginal widening can also occur.
Although the main cause of vaginal widening is childbirth, some women may request vaginal tightening due to complaints of vaginal widening even without having given birth or becoming pregnant. These women have genetically weaker connective tissue. As a result, their vaginal connective tissues are more elastic. This can cause widening and loosening of the vagina, especially during sexual intercourse due to increased lubrication.
The need for vaginal rejuvenation arises not only from widening but also from the loss of the elastic and rugal structure of the vagina due to decreased hormone levels during aging and menopause. All procedures performed to restore the vagina's former structure are called vaginal rejuvenation or vaginal renewal applications. Vaginal renewal procedures can be performed in two ways: surgically or with laser. This procedure is called vaginal rejuvenation. Surgically, vaginal tightening can be performed in different ways, but the most commonly used practical method is the classic posterior repair operation. In laser vaginal rejuvenation, the thermal effect of the laser is utilized. This effect causes tightening, increased blood flow, and sensitivity in the vagina, thus providing tissue renewal.
The risks of vaginal tightening are among the most frequently asked questions. Since vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure, it carries certain risks like any other surgery.
The risks and complications of vaginal tightening surgery include:
The main cause of vaginal widening is giving birth vaginally, especially delivering a large baby. As long as a woman does not give birth vaginally again after vaginoplasty, vaginal widening does not occur. Therefore, vaginal tightening surgery is a lifelong permanent procedure.

In vaginal tightening surgery, the procedure starts at the entrance of the vagina and the widened tissues are removed up to the inner part of the vagina. Tightening is performed on approximately 6-7 cm of tissue. The tissues in the operated area are joined with absorbable sutures. In this way, the entire vagina is tightened. If the patient has bowel prolapse, the levator muscle tissue can be approximated.
When it comes to our health, one should avoid so-called "under the counter" places and people who are not qualified or trained for this procedure. As with any surgery, a sterile environment and a trained, experienced specialist doctor greatly affect the success of vaginoplasty surgery. In a hospital that meets the standards set by the Ministry of Health, vaginal tightening surgery without any complications takes about 45-60 minutes.
Recovery is observed within 7-14 days after vaginoplasty surgery. Swelling and pain experienced until the recovery period is complete are considered normal. The pain can be controlled with the painkillers I prescribe. Once the operated tissue is fully healed, this pain and swelling will disappear.
The most important step to speed up the healing process after vaginoplasty surgery is to rest during the first week. The average recovery period is 15 days. The stitches placed during vaginal tightening surgery are absorbable. There is no need to remove these stitches as they dissolve on their own. During menstruation, the body also provides the necessary cleaning for the stitches.
It is necessary to avoid sexual intercourse for 3 months after vaginoplasty surgery. Otherwise, there may be pain and bloody discharge during and after intercourse. In addition, to avoid disrupting the healing process, you should avoid sitting upright for long periods, doing heavy sports, and lifting heavy objects for the first 1.5-2 months after vaginoplasty. Strictly following the advice I give you will support your recovery process and ensure a better surgical outcome.
After vaginal tightening surgery, patients should avoid sexual intercourse for the period recommended by their gynecologist. After the recommended waiting period, it is normal to experience pain and mild bleeding during the first sexual intercourse.
You can use vaginal lubricants (lubricating gels) to make sexual intercourse more comfortable. However, if the pain persists for a long time, I, as Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Dr. Nilüfer Yüksel, recommend that you come for a check-up.
