What Vaginoplasty involves
Vaginoplasty — often called vaginal tightening or posterior repair — rebuilds the support of the back wall of the vagina and the perineum, the area between the vaginal opening and the anus, which are stretched by vaginal childbirth. The operation narrows the vaginal canal, restores the muscular support beneath it and re-creates a firmer perineal body. Women ask for it because of reduced sensation for themselves or their partner, a feeling of looseness, air trapping, or an opening that gapes or no longer holds a tampon; some also have mild prolapse of the back wall.
It is a surgical repair of a physical change, and it is honest to say what it is not. It does not treat low desire, pain from other causes, dryness from menopause or problems in a relationship; those need different help and a surgeon should say so. It is also not the first step for every woman: pelvic-floor physiotherapy improves tone in many cases without surgery, and a good coordinator will ask whether you have tried it. Where the tissue has genuinely stretched and separated, though, exercise cannot restore it and surgery can.
The operation is often combined with labiaplasty or a perineoplasty (rebuilding the perineum alone when the canal itself is adequate). It is planned only after you have finished having children, because a further vaginal delivery will stretch the repair.
Scars: Inside the vagina and along the perineum, not visible
Who it suits — and who it does not
Good candidates
- ✓Vaginal looseness after one or more vaginal deliveries, with reduced sensation or a gaping opening
- ✓A weak or torn perineum from delivery, with or without a mild posterior wall prolapse
- ✓Finished having children; not pregnant
- ✓Pelvic-floor exercises or physiotherapy tried without enough improvement
- ✓Good general health, non-smoker, realistic that surgery restores tone, not desire
When we would tell you not to come
- –Planning further pregnancies — delivery would stretch the repair
- –Sexual difficulties caused by pain, dryness, low desire or relationship factors — different treatment
- –Significant prolapse involving the bladder or uterus, which needs a gynaecological repair rather than a cosmetic one
- –Active vaginal infection until treated
- –Anyone under pressure from a partner rather than choosing for herself
If your case is on the right-hand list, we say so at the review stage, before you book anything. Some of these are solved with a different plan; some mean the honest answer is not to travel — and we will tell you that too.
Techniques and options
Posterior colporrhaphy
An incision along the back wall of the vagina; the stretched lining is lifted, the separated support tissue and levator muscles beneath are brought together in the midline with sutures, excess lining removed, and the wall closed. This narrows the canal and restores support along its length.
Perineoplasty
The perineal body between the vaginal opening and anus is rebuilt: scarred or thinned tissue is removed, the muscles re-approximated and the skin closed, narrowing the opening and restoring a firm platform. Done alone when the canal is adequate, or with colporrhaphy.
Degree of tightening
The canal is calibrated during surgery so that it is firm but comfortable; over-tightening causes pain with intercourse and is the error to avoid. The surgeon discusses the goal with you beforehand.
Combined labiaplasty
Reduction of the labia minora or hood can be done in the same session with little additional recovery.
Closure
Dissolving sutures inside and on the perineum; nothing needs removing. A light pad; no packing in most cases.
What happens on surgery day
- 1
Assessment before travel: your delivery history, symptoms, whether you have tried pelvic-floor physiotherapy, any prolapse or bladder symptoms, and what you hope for. A gynaecological examination on arrival confirms the plan; photos are not required.
- 2
Admission on the morning of surgery after fasting. Blood tests and anaesthetic review; the examination and the degree of repair are confirmed.
- 3
Under general or spinal anaesthesia, the posterior repair and perineoplasty are performed as planned, the canal calibrated, and the tissue closed in layers with dissolving sutures.
- 4
A pad and, occasionally, a catheter for the first hours. One night in hospital for pain relief, observation and the first cleaning.
- 5
Discharge to the hotel the next morning. Clinic visit at day 4–5 for a check and the fit-to-fly confirmation.
Recovery timeline
Days 1–3
Soreness and a feeling of tightness, particularly on sitting and with bowel movements; regular painkillers and a stool softener. Rinse after using the toilet, pat dry; rest with the legs slightly apart.
Days 4–7
Walking comfortably; desk work resumes. Light spotting is normal. Fit-to-fly check.
Weeks 2–3
Swelling reduces; sutures dissolving. No lifting over 5 kg, no exercise beyond walking.
Weeks 4–6
Exercise resumes gradually. Pelvic-floor exercises begin when cleared, to reinforce the repair.
Weeks 6–8
Sexual activity from 6–8 weeks after the surgeon confirms healing; gently at first.
Month 3
Tissue soft and settled; final result.
Results — and their limits
A narrower, firmer canal and a rebuilt perineum: more friction and sensation during intercourse for many couples, no air trapping, an opening that closes at rest, and relief of the dragging feeling of a mild posterior prolapse.
The repair is durable if there are no further vaginal deliveries. Tissue ages and the pelvic floor weakens with time, which is why continuing pelvic-floor exercises protects the result.
Desire, arousal and dryness are unchanged by surgery; if these are part of the picture they are addressed separately.
Scars are internal and on the perineum and are not visible.
When it is final: Swelling settles over 4–6 weeks; tissue softens by 3 months
Risks and how they are managed
Every operation carries risk. These are the ones that matter for this procedure, and what is done to reduce, spot or treat each.
Pain with intercourse from over-tightening
Calibration during surgery and an agreed goal beforehand; if it occurs it is treated with dilators and, rarely, a release.
Wound separation on the perineum
No straining, a stool softener, no intercourse for 6–8 weeks, hygiene; small separations heal with time.
Bleeding or haematoma
Blood thinners stopped; observed overnight; drained if a collection forms.
Infection
Antibiotic cover; rinsing and hygiene; increasing pain, discharge with odour or fever reported.
Constipation and straining
Stool softener from day 1, fluids and fibre.
Injury to the rectum
Rare; careful dissection; recognised and repaired if it occurs.
Recurrence of looseness
Further vaginal delivery, chronic straining or heavy lifting; protected by pelvic-floor exercises.
Altered sensation
Usually temporary; conservative technique.

May change after examination — and why
Only after a clinician has examined you, only in writing, and only with your yes.
- △The plan itself, if the surgeon’s examination differs from the photo review — for example a lift turns out to be needed alongside an augmentation. You receive a revised written quote before anything is done, and you can decline it; neither we nor the hospital charge you for saying no.
- △Extra hospital nights, if the surgeon or anaesthetist wants to keep you in longer. The nightly rate is stated in your written plan; it is never added silently.
- △Findings in the pre-operative tests — poorly controlled diabetes or blood pressure, a blood-borne infection, an unexpected ECG — can postpone the operation or change the hospital’s price. You are told before surgery, not on the invoice.
- △Extra hotel nights if you are not fit to fly on the planned day, at the rate in your plan.
Free
Not “included” — free, whether or not you go ahead.
- 0The surgeon’s review of your photos and documents, and the written plan and price that follow
- 0Asking questions, asking for a plan for a different procedure, or deciding not to go ahead before anything is booked — none of this costs anything

The total you pay
€2,000, plus your flights and travel insurance, plus any item in the “may change” list that turns out to apply to you — each confirmed to you in writing before it is done. Nothing else. Our coordination is inside this price. You do not pay us separately, and nothing is added at the clinic that was not in your written plan.
How our pricing works →How to compare this with a quote at home
Ask any clinic for the same list: surgeon and anaesthetist fees, hospital nights, tests, medication, garments or splints, follow-up visits. A cheaper headline price usually excludes several of these. Then add your flights and insurance to our price for a like-for-like comparison.
How to choose a clinic for Vaginoplasty
Ask these before you pay a deposit — here or anywhere else. Every one of them has an answer that can be written down and checked. A clinic that answers with reassurance instead of a document has told you something.
Which specialty does the surgeon hold — plastic surgery, urology or gynaecology?
All three operate in this area legitimately, depending on the procedure. Ask which it is and what they do the rest of the week, because volume in this specific operation is what matters here.
What can this operation change for me, in measurements, in writing?
This is the field where promises outrun anatomy most often. Ask for the expected change as a range, on your own examination, and treat any single confident number as a warning.
What technique and material, and how much of it is still there at twelve months?
For girth procedures it matters whether it is fat transfer, a dermal graft or an injectable, because each resorbs differently. Ask for the twelve-month figure, not the day-one one, and ask what a second session would cost.
What is the risk to sensation, to sexual function and to continence?
Ask for each one separately and with numbers. A surgeon who treats this as an aesthetic question rather than a functional one is the wrong surgeon.
Who sees me afterwards, when, and what does a revision cost?
Healing here is slow and the final result is late. Ask for the follow-up schedule and the revision policy before you book, not after.
How are my photographs stored, and will they be used in marketing?
You can refuse consent for marketing use and still have the clinical photographs taken. Ask who can see them and how long they are kept.
What you get from us in writing
Before you pay anything, your plan names the hospital and the surgeon who will treat you, their authorisation, the technique, and the full list of what the price does and does not cover. We proceed with the partner that fits your case — and you have the names in front of you first.
How to prepare
- 1.Describe your symptoms, deliveries and any prolapse or bladder symptoms to the coordinator; everything is confidential. Tell us whether you have tried pelvic-floor physiotherapy.
- 2.Schedule surgery outside your period if possible. Treat any vaginal infection first.
- 3.Stop smoking 4 weeks before; stop aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and supplements that increase bleeding 14 days before.
- 4.Start a fibre-rich diet a few days before to avoid straining afterwards.
- 5.Bring loose cotton underwear, soft clothing and a small cushion for sitting; arrange 6 nights in Turkey and a week off desk work.
Aftercare at home
- •Rinse with warm water after using the toilet, pat dry; no fragranced products. Showers from day 1; no baths, pools or sea for 4 weeks.
- •Stool softener daily for 2 weeks; never strain.
- •No lifting over 5 kg, no cycling or exercise beyond walking for 4 weeks.
- •No tampons or sexual activity for 6–8 weeks, until the surgeon confirms healing.
- •Begin pelvic-floor exercises when cleared and continue for life; they protect the repair.
- •Report heavy bleeding, increasing pain, discharge with odour, fever or difficulty passing urine. Photos are not needed; a remote check by message at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months.
