What is a Vaginoplasty?
A vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens and repairs the vaginal canal, often performed to address issues such as laxity or discomfort following childbirth or aging. It aims to improve both functional and aesthetic concerns, enhancing comfort and confidence.
Dr. Hustak has performed numerous vaginoplasties and is a respected national publisher and presenter on this topic. She offers the procedure both in-office under local anesthesia and in the operating room, providing flexible options tailored to each patient’s comfort and needs.
6 Benefits of a Vaginoplasty?
A vaginoplasty offers numerous benefits for women seeking to enhance both their physical well-being and confidence. By strengthening the vaginal muscles, the procedure can improve vaginal laxity, leading to increased sexual satisfaction and overall comfort. Many women also experience a reduction in urinary incontinence and improved moisture control, both of which contribute to daily comfort. Beyond the physical changes, a vaginoplasty can provide a renewed sense of confidence and empowerment, helping women feel more comfortable and in control of their bodies. Dr. Hustak specializes in personalized vaginoplasty procedures, ensuring optimal results for each patient.
How is a Vaginoplasty Performed?
During a vaginoplasty, Dr. Hustak carefully tightens the muscles and tissues of the vaginal canal. The procedure involves removing any excess skin or tissue and bringing the muscles back together to create a firmer, more supportive structure. It’s done under anesthesia, so you’ll be comfortable throughout the process. The goal is to improve both the function and appearance of the vagina, enhancing comfort and confidence. Recovery typically involves some rest, and most patients can return to their regular activities within a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Recovery varies from person to person, but most women are able to return to their normal routine within 1 to 2 weeks. You will, however, need to refrain from sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks after your procedure.
Even though a Vaginoplasty is a simple procedure, delicate tissues are involved that must be well cared for during the recovery period. Full recovery from a Vaginoplasty takes six weeks, and during that time, it is crucial to follow your instructions.
Most patients will be advised to minimize walking for the first 2-3 days.
1 Week Following Surgery: Pain often subsides to the point where most patients no longer require pain medication. However, swelling and bruising may persist. Many women begin to feel well enough to walk and perform normal physical activity
AFTER SURGERY ONLY- a stool softener such as Duloclax or Colace (taken twice/day) may be helpful. If you have not had a bowel movement after 3 days, drink “smooth move” tea, and/or take Senakot, Miralax or other laxative if needed.
It is important to avoid exercise, sexual intercourse, strenuous activity, or heavy lifting over 5 lbs for one month following Labiaplasty. These activity restrictions will lower risk of bleeding and increased swelling at the surgical site
Bruising is also normal after the Labiaplasty procedure and will subside in a few weeks. Wear Comfy Clothes. To reduce discomfort and pain after your procedure, we recommend that you wear loose clothing. Tight-fitting clothes such as leggings or yoga pants can rub on the incision and cause pain.
Swelling is one of the first postoperative side effects of a vaginoplasty surgery, though it typically subsides within a few days. After one week, the majority of vaginoplasty swelling should have resolved. To reduce swelling we recommend using a cold compress (not directly on the skin)
