How much does a vaginal tightening (vaginoplasty) cost in Ankara?

Therefore, there is no fixed price for vaginal tightening surgery for everyone. Prices for vaginoplasty surgery vary depending on the city, preferred hospital, and doctor. For this reason, it is not possible to quote a price without examining the patient regarding the content of the surgery, the length of hospital stay, the material, and the technical differences to be used.

Why are vaginal tightening surgeries performed?

Everyone has their own reasons for undergoing vaginal tightening surgery. One of the most important reasons is impaired sexual pleasure or a health-related unfavorable position of the vagina. The most common reasons for vaginoplasty include the following:

RECURRENT VAGINAL INFECTIONS

A large vagina is not only related to pleasure during sexual intercourse. At the same time, vaginal infections are more common in women who have a wide vagina and whose vagina and perineum have been damaged by tears during labor. Disruption of the normal anatomical structure of the vaginal entrance leads to frequent recurrent infections. To reduce vaginal infections, perineoplasty and vaginoplasty surgeries can be performed, focusing on this area.

REDUCED OR LACK OF PLEASURE DURING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

The fact that the vagina becomes structurally wider over time can reduce pleasure during sexual intercourse. This is a condition that diminishes sexual pleasure for both men and women and can therefore have a negative impact on relationships. Vaginoplasty-perineoplasty surgery tightens the tissue of the vagina. This increases sexual pleasure for both men and women.

AIR NOISES FROM THE VAGINA DURING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

Women with enlarged vaginas may experience disturbing noises during sexual intercourse from time to time. The reason for these noises is the voluminous structure of the vagina. The air that accumulates in the vagina during insertion and withdrawal of the penis causes involuntary noises similar to the sound of gas escaping from the anus, which greatly affects the woman's self-confidence. These noises disappear after vaginal tightening surgery.

DECLINING SELF-CONFIDENCE

Women with an enlarged vagina may experience disturbing noises during sexual intercourse from time to time. The reason for these noises is the abundant structure of the vagina. These noises disappear after vaginal tightening surgery.

self-confidence

The width of the vagina or other aesthetic imperfections of the vagina are among the factors that make orgasm difficult. The fact that a woman is not comfortable with her vagina alienates her from her relationship and has a negative impact on her overall life. A wide vaginal opening is a condition that can also lead to a lack of self-confidence. After tightening the vagina through vaginoplasty surgery, self-confidence increases, the ability to orgasm improves, and sexual pleasure becomes more effective.

Correction of bladder prolapse, rectal hernia

In addition to vaginal tightening, vaginal tightening surgery can also correct bladder slackening and urinary incontinence problems. In this respect, it can be said that vaginal tightening surgery is not only performed for aesthetic reasons. Rectal prolapse, also known as rectal hernia, i.e., a prolapsed intestine, can also be corrected as part of vaginoplasty. Vaginal laxity can lead to problems such as reduced self-confidence and decreased libido. Vaginoplasty surgery eliminates the problems of reduced sexual desire and insecurity caused by the aesthetics of the vagina. In other words, these operations are performed not only for cosmetic reasons, but also for medical reasons.

How is vaginal tightening surgery performed?

Vaginal tightening is performed under general anesthesia. For patients who are afraid of general anesthesia or who cannot receive general anesthesia due to their health condition, spinal anesthesia can also be chosen. The duration of vaginoplasty operations is usually between 1 and 2 hours and may vary depending on the content of the procedures to be performed on the vagina. During the operation, the excess parts of the vaginal skin are removed to create the desired density in the vagina, and the remaining tissue is tightened. Procedures such as labiaplasty, urinary incontinence, and pubic bone aesthetics can be performed during the same procedure. These procedures also affect the duration of the operation.

What is the process after vaginoplasty surgery?

After vaginal tightening surgery, women who undergo the procedure are usually kept under observation for the first 2 hours to take precautions against the risk of bleeding. To control bleeding and monitor urine flow, a catheter is usually inserted into the bladder and a tampon is inserted into the vagina. After vaginoplasty, the patient can go home on the same day if she wishes. The healing process after vaginal tightening usually takes about 4 weeks. During this time, extra attention should be paid to vaginal hygiene and all the doctor's recommendations should be followed. Contrary to popular belief, vaginoplasty surgery does not cause severe pain, and the effects of the procedure can be overcome with a short period of rest. Vaginoplasty is one of those procedures that allows for a quick return to everyday life. Patients therefore do not need to be afraid of the procedure.

Are there scars after a vaginal tightening operation? Should the stitches be removed? Do the stitches dissolve on their own?

After vaginoplasty surgery, if you experience unexpected pain, you should first contact the doctor who performed the surgery. Self-dissolving sutures are used in vaginoplasty surgery, so it is not possible for sutures to remain or be removed. The sutures dissolve completely about 10-20 days after the procedure. Another special feature of vaginoplasty is the surgical scars. Nowadays, vaginal tightening operations are performed using modern aesthetic surgery techniques, so that no scars remain after the operation. In particular, with closed vaginoplasty techniques, a large amount of tissue can be removed and the healing process is faster. Local bleeding may occur in the first 10 days, but no scars will be visible after that.

Can a vaginal tightening procedure also be performed on women who have not yet given birth?

Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to narrow the vagina and make it more aesthetically pleasing. Another question regarding the surgery is whether it can also be performed on women who have not yet given birth.

The loss of vaginal tightness, which is sometimes hereditary and sometimes due to various problems, can have negative effects during sexual intercourse. In this case, vaginal tightening surgery is recommended. In this case, vaginal tightening can also be performed on patients who have not yet given birth. It should also be noted that normal childbirth is not recommended after vaginoplasty, as normal childbirth negates the positive effects of the surgery.

For patients who have not given birth and are planning vaginoplasty, the doctor and patient should carefully weigh up the pros and cons of the situation.

Is vaginal tightening a painful procedure?

The vagina can lose its elasticity and become loose due to advancing age, childbirth, weight gain and loss, illness, and certain genetic causes. This leads to various problems that affect quality of life, especially sexual relationships. Women and their partners whose vaginas are larger than normal do not experience the necessary pleasure during sexual intercourse. This affects both the woman's self-confidence and the relationship.

Vaginal tightening is a procedure that takes an average of 1 hour and is performed under general anesthesia. The excess tissue in the vagina is removed, and the muscles that are not sufficiently tight are shortened and adjusted to create a new, tighter, and longer vagina.

Since edema develops after the operation, it is normal to experience pain during the first 6 hours. During this time, the pain is controlled with effective painkillers. You can return to work 3-4 days after the operation and resume sexual intercourse after 1.5 months on average. Recovery can be even faster, especially with closed technique vaginoplasty.

What should be considered after a vaginal tightening procedure?

One of the most important things that women who have undergone vaginal tightening should pay attention to after discharge is the cleanliness and hygiene of the genital area. If the stitches are only in the vagina, a bandage is not necessary. If additional procedures such as labia or perineal correction were performed during vaginoplasty, a bandage is recommended for 1 week to 10 days.

The medications prescribed by your doctor should be taken regularly and according to the prescription. Antibiotics and painkillers in particular should be taken without interruption.

Patients should refrain from sexual intercourse for 30-45 days. The suture area begins to return to normal 1 month after the procedure. Premature sexual activity has a negative effect on the success of the operation. It can lead to infection and even tearing of the sutures. If possible, you should only resume sexual intercourse after your doctor has checked you.

How long should I refrain from exercising after a vaginal tightening procedure?

It takes about 45 days for the vagina to return to its original shape after a vaginal tightening procedure. For some, this period is 30 days, for others 45 days. The vagina is completely healed by the 45th day at the latest.

Women who undergo vaginal tightening should avoid strenuous activity. In other words, they should not engage in sports until the vagina has healed. They should refrain from sports such as cycling, jogging, swimming, or tennis for a short period of time. Lifting weights or doing very strenuous housework is also not recommended after vaginoplasty.

Is vaginal tightening surgery a permanent procedure?

Over time, the vagina may enlarge for a variety of reasons. While the factors that cause this are sometimes purely genetic, there are often several different reasons. Giving birth to several children or frequent weight gain and loss can also cause this condition.

Women who have problems with their sex lives should therefore undergo vaginal tightening with the support of a doctor. Vaginal tightening is a procedure that takes about 1 hour, heals very quickly, and lasts for many years. To ensure that the tightening is permanent, the necessary exercises should be performed, check-ups should be continued, and the necessary precautions should be taken.

It is very difficult to maintain the same level of endurance after giving birth. Even if interrupting checkups and not following medical advice does not lead to a permanent condition, it does lay the groundwork for a permanent condition. Apart from that, no special care is required.

Does the vagina stretch again during or after a normal birth?

Although attempts are made to protect the pelvic tissue during a normal birth, permanent stretching and relaxation definitely occur. Women are very concerned that this stretching and relaxation is permanent. Although the vaginal tissue recovers to a certain extent in the first 6 weeks after birth, it will not completely return to its original state. Postnatal Kegel exercises offer some benefits. If there is no solution, it is still possible to achieve a definitive and permanent improvement with cosmetic surgery.
