Regarding the risks of vaginal narrowing surgery, there may be some complications common to surgical procedures, such as bleeding, haematoma, and infection. A common complication is over-resection, where aggressive reduction can result in chronic dryness, scarring at or near the vaginal opening, and pain during intercourse. Healing problems are more likely to occur with a wedge procedure, especially if the patient is exposed to substances that cause blood vessels to constrict.

Other possible complications include asymmetry.

How should I prepare for vaginal narrowing surgery?

Take tests or have a medical evaluation. Take certain medications or adjust your current medications. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding. When you book surgery, you will receive written instructions with detailed information about timing, our payment terms, and how to prepare.

You should arrange for a friend or family member to pick you up after the surgery and stay with you for the first night.

Anaesthesia for vaginal narrowing surgery Labiaplasty is a procedure that can be done under either local anaesthesia or sedation (light anaesthesia).

Vaginal narrowing surgery – How is it done? Once the amount of tightening to be done is determined, a pie-shaped wedge is marked to delineate the extra skin to be removed from inside the vagina. Under the skin, the tissues are tightened with strong sutures. Once the vaginal canal has been tightened, the mucosa is sutured closed. If there is external skin protruding, this can also be reduced for a more aesthetic result.

Recovering from vaginal narrowing surgery Patients may have one to two weeks off. They may feel a deep ache during the first few days, and they must not use a tampon or have intercourse for the next eight weeks.

What are the results of vaginal narrowing surgery? This procedure usually results in a tighter vagina, which can help improve sexual satisfaction.
