Vaginoplasty
Conveniently located to serve Houston and Sugar Land
Vaginoplasty in Houston, commonly referred to as “Posterior Colporrhaphy”, is the gold standard in improving laxity of the vaginal wall. It is a surgical procedure that reverses vagina laxity and essentially tightens the vagina. Vagina laxity is a common occurrence in women after childbirth or weight loss.
What Is Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty involves surgically removing the posterior vaginal wall tissue, tightening the vagina. This leaves the patient with a more aesthetically pleasing vagina, and has been known to enhance sexual pleasure. Another option to achieve vaginal tightening is through heating the vaginal tissues with radiofrequency or laser (Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation).
Is Vaginoplasty Right for Me?
Individuals who seek to repair vaginal laxity after childbirth are ideal candidates for vaginoplasty. Patients who want to improve their quality of life and sexual function may be excellent candidates for this genital surgery.
It is vital to be in good overall health and have a positive outlook when considering vaginoplasty.
