Vaginoplasty

The vagina is a highly flexible organ consisting of many muscles and connective tissues that work in harmony with each other. During sexual intercourse, childbirth and daily activities, these tissues can expand and return to their original state. However, factors such as ageing, childbirth and hormonal changes can cause the vagina to lose its tightness.

Vaginal enlargement and sagging that occur over time can reduce the pleasure of sexual intercourse for both the woman and her partner. Vaginal enlargement can lead to problems such as inability to orgasm, sexual reluctance and vaginal dryness. Such situations can negatively affect women's sexual lives and reduce their self-confidence. At this point, vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening surgery) offers an effective solution that improves the quality of sexual life by restoring the tightness of the vagina.

What is Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty is a surgical operation performed to repair the tissues of the vagina that expand and lose their elasticity and to narrow the vaginal canal. This procedure, popularly known as vaginal tightening surgery, is frequently preferred especially by women who experience vaginal enlargement after childbirth. Thanks to vaginoplasty

• The vaginal canal becomes tighter and narrower.
• The pleasure felt during sexual intercourse increases.
• Vaginal dryness problem may decrease.
• Orgasm time can be shortened.

Why is Vaginoplasty Performed?

Vaginoplasty is not only an aesthetic intervention. It is also a procedure performed to increase sexual functionality and improve vaginal health. Vaginoplasty is preferred for the following reasons:

• It offers a tightening solution for women who experience postpartum vaginal enlargement.

• It prevents loss of sexual pleasure and ensures that women and their partners are more satisfied with sexual intercourse.
• It can alleviate vaginal dryness and increase vaginal moisture.
• It gives a young and aesthetic vagina appearance, thus increasing self-confidence.

Why Does The Vagina Enlarge?

The vagina has an extremely flexible structure by nature. It has the ability to expand and return to its former state in processes such as sexual intercourse and childbirth. However, some conditions can cause the vagina to lose its flexibility over time and permanently enlarge. Causes of vaginal enlargement:

• Birth: During normal birth, vaginal tissues are subjected to great pressure. Giving birth to a large baby or multiple pregnancies (twin, triplet births) can lead to more strain and enlargement of the vaginal muscles.
• Ageing: With advancing age, vaginal muscles weaken, collagen production decreases and the ability of the vagina to recover decreases.
• Hormonal Changes: With menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which can cause vaginal tissues to relax.
• Frequent and Difficult Births: Increasing the number of births can lead to the inability of the vagina to maintain its elasticity and loosening.

This process is important for the prevention of possible complications and for the patient to have a more comfortable recovery process.
