What is vaginoplasty, and what are the steps I can expect?
If you are dealing with concerns regarding your genitalia, you may be wondering what aesthetic procedures are available. Along with vaginal tightening, the vaginoplasty surgery can provide solutions. If you live in Guildford, Connecticut, we invite you to call Dr. Derek Steinbacher and his team at Dr. Steinbacher Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon to discuss your options.
What is the vaginoplasty surgery?
Dr. Steinbacher describes vaginoplasty as a surgical procedure that reconstructs or creates the female genitalia. It can also assist in vaginal tightening, ensuring women have a more positive experience in the bedroom with their sexual partners, as the area can be relaxed over time or even after childbirth.
How is the vaginoplasty procedure performed?
The vaginoplasty can include more minimally invasive injections (fat, nanofat, PRP), with or without a surgical procedure for tissue tightening. These require highly skilled surgeons and specialized equipment. This is why Dr. Steinbacher has developed a trusted name as a plastic and aesthetic surgeon in the Guildford, Connecticut, area. The technique may vary depending on the patient’s needs and anatomy. Here are some common steps that may be involved in vaginoplasty surgeries:
- Preoperative preparations. Before the surgical procedure, the patient must undergo a thorough medical evaluation and provide their complete medical history. They may also be required to stop taking certain medications or supplements that could interfere with the surgery.
- Anesthesia. Our team performs Vaginoplasty under general anesthesia, where the patient is completely unconscious, or under local anesthesia with sedation, where they are awake but relaxed.
- Incisions. Dr. Steinbacher will make a precise incision in the vaginal opening to access and reshape the tissues of the vaginal canal.
- Tissue removal and tightening. In this step, excess tissue from the vaginal walls is removed and tightened to create a more compact and narrower canal. This helps to achieve a tighter and more youthful appearance.
- Suturing. Then Dr. Steinbacher will carefully close the incisions with dissolvable stitches, ensuring they are well-hidden within the natural folds of the vagina.
- Fat Grafting and PRP (V-shot) Injections. Frequently instead of actual surgical incisions, significant rejuvenation and tightening of the vaginal canal can occur using fat grafting injections as well a PRP injections to the surrounding regions. We typically favor this approach first prior to any surgical incisional tissue manipulations. In the times when surgical incisions are used we also use the fat grafting and PRP injections. he incisions with dissolvable stitch
- Postoperative care. After the surgery, patients are monitored closely in a recovery room before they are discharged home. Dr. Steinbacher provides patients with detailed aftercare instructions that should be followed closely to promote healing and prevent complications.

The ideal candidate for the vaginoplasty procedure is someone who is experiencing physical discomfort and/or dissatisfaction with the appearance or dimensions of their vaginal opening and canal. This could be due to natural aging, childbirth, or other factors. Also, proper candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the final results of the surgery.
Why might I consider vaginoplasty surgery?

- Feeling self-conscious about the size or appearance of their labia minora (inner vaginal lips)
