What is Vaginoplasty Surgery?
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to restore and tighten the vaginal canal and its surrounding tissues. It can improve physical function and address specific medical issues such as pelvic floor weakening or vaginal laxity.
Many women choose vaginoplasty for a wide range of reasons. Women often cite changes to their vaginal canal size and shape caused by childbirth, aging, and genetics as top reasons to explore the procedure. Yet many women simply wish to once again feel confident and comfortable in their own bodies, as well as enhancing sexual experience and overall self-esteem.
At Rejuvenessence, Vaginoplasty is a judgment-free choice for women often looking to reclaim their sense of self. For many, it’s about restoring how they felt and looked before vaginal childbirth or natural age-related bodily changes. Dr. Coville’s goal is to usher results that empower and bring peace of mind back to women.
Why a Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty surgery can be an empowering choice for women experiencing and managing any of the following:
- Changes in vaginal tone: Pregnancy, childbirth, or aging can significantly stretch vaginal tissues. While some vaginal canals return to their previous makeup, tightening these muscles helps women feel more like themselves and regain physical strength.
- Weakened muscle control: Weakened pelvic floor muscles can affect bladder control and core stability. Vaginoplasty helps restore muscle strength, improving daily functionality and comfort.
- Decreased sexual satisfaction: Reconstructing the vaginal canal can enhance overall pleasure by increasing friction and sensation during intercourse.
- Wider personal and aesthetic reasons: Women may feel self-conscious about the look of their body’s most intimate areas. Vaginoplasty addresses aesthetic concerns, empowering women to feel more confident in who they are.
Postpartum Vaginal Laxity
Nearly every single woman who undergoes vaginal childbirth experiences changes to her vaginal canal’s strength and structure. Childbirth also places significant trauma in and around surrounding areas, including the bladder, lower digestive tract, and pelvis.
These postpartum laxity changes are natural and incredibly common, yet many women feel they’re left alone to adjust to this “new normal” regardless of its pain and the physical and psychological side effects.
Vaginoplasty can directly improve weakened, postpartum pelvic floors and related bladder issues. Repairing these muscles with vaginoplasty offers significant relief and quality-of-life improvements for many mothers, providing an empowering choice in reclaiming their sense of self within their bodies.
Benefits of Vaginoplasty Surgery
Vaginoplasty provides both cosmetic and functional improvements. This safe, well-researched procedure aims to restore both the physical and emotional states of women looking to feel their best. Post vaginoplasty, many patients experience the following benefits:
- Restoring vaginal tightness and laxity
- Reconstructing weakened pelvic floor and bladder issues
- Enhanced core strength, stability
- More fulfilling sexual stimulation
- Boosted self-image
- Greater comfort and confidence

Here’s what to expect when trusting Dr. Coville with this procedure, from start to finish:
Consultation
Your vaginoplasty journey begins with a detailed and personal consultation with Dr. Coville. He will discuss your functional and aesthetic goals, address your questions, and review your medical history. Consultations also have a physical examination and outline a personalized procedure plan. The consultation is a safe space to ask questions about the surgery, expected outcomes, and recovery expectations.
Pre-Procedure Preparation
Before your surgery, you'll receive detailed instructions guiding you across every stage of the pre-and post-procedure journey. This includes stopping or tapering the use of certain medications, arranging for post-surgical transportation from the clinic, and preparing your home for comfortable recovery. You may also be advised to fast the night before surgery. Your care team will guide you through every step, helping to alleviate any pre-surgery anxieties, which is natural.
Vaginoplasty Procedure
On surgery day, you’ll receive general anesthesia to ensure comfort. Vaginoplasty surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours to safely tighten the vaginal muscles and remove excess tissue. Dr. Coville’s advanced surgical techniques minimize scarring and recovery time. The atmosphere will be supportive, with experienced staff caring for your full needs.
Follow-Up Appointment(s)
Patients receive a personalized post-op appointment, with subsequent check-ups available as needed. Dr. Coville will monitor your healing, discuss progress, and address any concerns with the procedure’s side effects or results. A detailed recovery plan will guide you across personal hygiene, activity restrictions, and any pain management.
Social Readiness
At Rejuvenessence, we prioritize a holistic, mindful return to your full, normal life. Patients are typically advised to wait 6-8 weeks before engaging in sexual activity or using tampons. Gentle exercise may resume after 4-6 weeks, but your care team will tailor these recommendations to your healing progress. We also encourage practices that nurture confidence and overall well-being complementing your journey.
Post-Vaginoplasty Recovery Title
The healing period after vaginoplasty requires patience and self-care. You can expect initial swelling, soreness, and some bruising, which should gradually improve over 4-6 weeks. Following your post-op instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.
- Most patients can resume sexual intercourse around 6-8 weeks post surgery.
- It’s advised to avoid tampons for 6-8 weeks to ensure proper healing of vaginal tissues.
- Moderate exercise or low-impact activities, like walking, are encouraged. More vigorous exercise should wait until at least 4-6 weeks post-procedure.
Tips to minimize post-surgery discomfort:
- Use cold packs on the surgical area to reduce swelling and ease pain during the initial 7 days of recovery.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent irritation, chafing, and promote healing, and prioritize rest to allow your body to fully recover.
Vaginoplasty Risks and Side Effects
Vaginoplasty surgery’s risks and side effects are minimal. Common side effects typically occur within the first few days post-procedure and will resolve naturally when following a dedicated treatment plan.
- Bleeding. Some light bleeding is normal immediately post-surgery but should decrease within 1-2 days.
- Scarring. Minimal scarring is common but usually fades significantly over time with proper care.
- Changes in sensitivity. Temporary changes in sensation may occur but typically improve as healing progresses.
- Infection (rare). Though uncommon, infection is possible; prompt treatment is essential for recovery.

Vaginoplasty FAQs
Can I combine this procedure with others to improve my mom-bod?
Yes, vaginoplasty can be safely combined with other procedures, like a tummy tuck or breast lift, to rejuvenate your mom-bod.
Is a vaginoplasty covered by insurance?
Vaginoplasty is typically considered a cosmetic procedure, so it’s not covered by insurance. However, coverage may be possible if there are documented medical reasons, like chronic pelvic floor dysfunction.
How long do the vaginoplasty results last?
Vaginoplasty results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and do not undergo additional vaginal childbirth. Aging may naturally affect the area over time; otherwise, most results are permanent.
