Vaginal  Repair Surgery Recovery Time

Recovery time for vaginoplasty varies from patient to patient, but most women can return to normal activities within a week or two. However, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise for at least six weeks to allow the tissues to heal fully.

In terms of postoperative care, you will need to keep the surgical site clean and dry and may need to use special pads or dressings for a few days. Pain medication may also be prescribed to manage any discomfort. You will also need to attend follow-up appointments with your surgeons to ensure that the healing process is progressing as expected.

How is Vaginoplasty  Performed?

During vaginoplasty, the surgeon will make incisions in the vaginal wall to remove excess tissue and tighten the muscles and surrounding tissues. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable stitches. The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and medical history.

The procedure can take between one to two hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery. The patient can usually go home on the same day, although some may be required to stay in the hospital for a night or two for observation.
