“Is My Love Flower Tight Enough?” All You Need To Know About Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty!
Vaginal reconstruction or vaginal rejuvenation surgery are the names given to a variety of procedures whose goal is to repair or reconstruct the vagina. Vaginal surgery of this type aims to reduce pain and improve the appearance, size, function, and possibly sensitivity of the vagina, however, many women discover a new sense of self-confidence after the procedure.
There are two procedures under “Vaginal reconstruction” term:
- Vaginoplasty (tightening of the vagina):
A procedure that aims to “tighten” a vagina that has become saggy or loose due to vaginal births or aging. Some surgeons claim it can even improve sensitivity – a claim strongly challenged by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
- Labiaplasty (reshaping of the labia):
While it is true that vaginal tissue can stretch, surgical tightening of vaginal tissue in and of itself cannot guarantee an increased sexual response, since desire, arousal, and orgasm are complex, highly personal responses that depend as much on emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal factors as they do on esthetic factors. Besides, sexual “sensitivity” does not automatically lead to more pleasure – it can even lead to pain.
Labiaplasty, plastic surgery on the labia (the “lips” surrounding the vagina), can be performed alone or along with Vaginoplasty.
The surgery can be performed on the Labia Majora (the larger, outer vaginal lips) or the Labia Minora (the smaller, inner vaginal lips). Labiaplasty changes the size or shape of the labia, typically reducing their size or correcting an asymmetry between them.
Reconstructive Surgery Vs Cosmetic Surgery
it is important to understand the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery improves a body part’s function, while cosmetic surgery changes the esthetic of what is essentially normal anatomy.
You can think of it as a nose job: A surgeon may restructure the inner nasal cavities to help you breathe better or reshape the nose just for the sake of looking good.
In fact, Some Vaginoplasty procedures were originally developed as reconstructive surgeries to correct birth defects when the vagina was malformed, too short, or non-existent (as in vaginal agenesis) so that a girl could grow up to urinate, menstruate, and have intercourse normally.
Does Insurance Cover It?
Most health insurance plans don’t cover Vaginoplasty, Labiaplasty, or other plastic surgery that’s elective rather than medically necessary. Only occasionally, according to ACOG, is Labiaplasty medically necessary, such as labia hypertrophy (overgrowth) caused by excess testosterone, congenital conditions, or chronic irritation.
Why You Might Need Vaginal Surgery
vaginal reconstruction or rejuvenation is a good option for a woman in good health who has one or more of the following problems:
- Cancer patients who have undergone extensive surgery or radiation treatment for cancer of the urinary tract and/or reproductive organs’ organs and structures.
- Vaginal wall prolapse cases.
- Women who have suffered physical trauma to the vaginal region as a result of an accident, assault, or rape.
- Congenital anomalies (birth defects) affecting the vaginal region cases.
- The contours of the genital structures have become inelastic or stretched out
- Soreness or pain with sexual activity or movement
- Diminished sensation during sexual intercourse after childbirth
- A desire to improve the contour or appearance of the genitals
- To tighten the vagina to bring it back to approximately the same size it was before the child was born.

- Sports activities can become more enjoyable
- Increased sensitivity during sexual intercourse
- Improving self-perception and self-esteem can improve quality of life
How to Prepare for Vaginal Surgery
Since every woman has a different vaginal shape and size, and the various purposes for these procedures are different, the intended outcome of these surgeries is similar:
Possible Side Effects and Risks
It should be noted that while it is true that vaginal tissue can stretch, such as during childbirth. Surgical tightening of vaginal tissue alone does not guarantee an increased sexual response.
In fact, increased sexual sensitivity is not an automatic guarantee of increased pleasure and can instead lead to hypersensitivity and pain.
Most women who went through procedures weren’t evaluated in peer-reviewed medical journals compared to other surgeries. Some procedures are proprietary and trademarked – ACOG considers them “unproven.”
- Risk of infection
- Loss of sensation
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia
- Changes in sensation
- Persistent pain
