Surgical vs Laser Vaginoplasty

Surgical vaginoplasty is a permanent reconstructive procedure that tightens the vaginal canal by removing excess vaginal mucosa and tightening the underlying muscles and tissues.

🩺 Best for: Women with moderate to severe vaginal laxity, usually after multiple vaginal deliveries or aging.

How It Works:

• Done under local or general anesthesia
• Involves precise incisions and muscle tightening
• Muscles are sutured and reshaped to restore structure

🔗 PubMed Study: Efficacy of Surgical Vaginoplasty

Laser vaginoplasty is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure using CO2 or erbium lasers to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the vaginal tissues, leading to natural tightening.

🩺 Best for: Women with mild to moderate laxity, dryness, or loss of elasticity.

How It Works:

• No incisions or sutures
• Painless or mildly uncomfortable
• Short in-office session (30–45 minutes)
• Usually requires multiple sessions (3–4 recommended)

I always start with an in-depth consultation at Allure Medspa, where we assess:

• Your vaginal laxity level
• Your medical history
• Your aesthetic and functional goals
• Your comfort with downtime or procedures

“In my practice, surgical vaginoplasty offers the most transformative results for those with significant laxity, while laser is ideal for maintenance or mild cases. Some patients even combine both for best results.”
– Dr. Dimple Doshi, Cosmetic Gynecology Expert, Mumbai

Yes, in certain cases, we start with laser sessions pre-surgery to enhance tissue quality or use laser post-surgery for maintenance. Combining both offers:

• Enhanced collagen boost
• Long-term vaginal health
• Faster healing and better tissue response

Q1. Can laser vaginal rejuvenation replace vaginoplasty?

Ans. No. Laser is effective for mild cases, but cannot replicate the structural correction that surgery provides.

Q2. Is vaginoplasty safe after childbirth?

Ans. Yes. It’s a commonly performed procedure for women post-delivery and has a high satisfaction rate.

Q3. How long does it take to recover after surgical vaginoplasty?

Ans. Around 7–10 days for normal activities, and 4–6 weeks for sexual activity.

Q4. Are results from laser vaginoplasty permanent?

Q5. What is the cost of vaginoplasty in Mumbai?
