Vaginoplasty - Vaginal tightening

The female vagina is very elastic and adaptable. This is particularly important for giving birth. However, a fulfilled sex life can be affected by overstraining this stretchability. Or it can be affected through a change of the anatomy as a result of the natural ageing process. Especially vaginal births often cause overstretching of the vagina which cannot even be corrected by extensive pelvis re-education. The result often is much reduced sexual sensitivity and often even urinary incontinence.

* The pelvis floor muscles may be affected by birth, hormonal changes, or ageing. The result often is impaired sexual sensitivity and/or incontinence. For correcting the pelvis floor, we work closely with experienced gynaecologists. The type of operation which is the right one for you can only be decided after a personal examination. We use a type of laser scalpel for the required incisions, which enables high precision and little loss of blood. This improves and accelerates the healing process significantly.

The intervention
Where conservative therapies fail, in many cases surgical interventions may help. The vagina becomes tight and rejuvenated, so that stimulation between partners is as intense as possible. The size of the vagina can be adjusted to the individual situation of the partner for complete harmony and a pleasurable life together.

There are two possibilities of narrowing the vagina by careful surgery:

• Padding out of the vaginal canal with autologous (body's own) fat tissue (lipostructure). This intervention often is promising only if there was no vaginal birth yet. The surgery is carried out ambulatory under local anaesthetic.
• Tightening the vagina with tissue and muscular tightening by pelvis floor plastic surgery*. This intervention may correct even very pronounced extensions. It requires full general anaesthetic and a stationary stay in the clinic for one night.
