If you’ve been thinking about vaginoplasty but aren’t sure where to begin, you’re not alone. Many women seek this procedure to restore comfort, confidence, or sexual function, often after childbirth or due to age-related changes.
At The Cosmetic Gyn in Beverly Hills, Dr. Michael Reed specializes in helping patients understand their options and the process. Whether you’re in Beverly Hills, Davis, Sacramento, Roseville, or San Francisco, Dr. Reed and our team are here to provide expert guidance and personalized care.
What Is Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is a procedure designed to tighten the vaginal muscles and surrounding tissue. Over time, the vaginal canal can become stretched or lax, which can affect sexual sensation and comfort. Vaginoplasty helps to restore the vaginal area to a more youthful, toned state. It’s often part of a vaginal rejuvenation guide for women who want both functional and aesthetic improvements.
Who Is a Candidate for Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty may be a good option for women who experience vaginal laxity due to childbirth, aging, or other factors. Ideal candidates are generally healthy and have realistic expectations about vaginoplasty results. If you’ve noticed changes in vaginal tightness, discomfort during intimacy, or a decrease in sensation, vaginoplasty could be right for you.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Before your vaginoplasty, you’ll meet with Dr. Reed for a detailed consultation. During this appointment, he’ll take the time to understand your goals and explain the procedure in detail. You’ll be able to ask questions, address concerns, and feel confident in your decision. The consultation also allows Dr. Reed to evaluate whether the procedure is right for you and to create a personalized surgical plan.
The vaginoplasty procedure itself typically lasts between one and two hours and is performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Reed will make small, precise incisions to tighten the vaginal muscles and remove any excess tissue. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return home the same day.
Recovery and Long-Term Results
It’s normal to experience some swelling and tenderness post-surgery, but most women find these symptoms manageable and short-lived. Dr. Reed will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients return to light activities within a week, but you’ll need to avoid sexual activity and strenuous exercise for about six to eight weeks to allow for proper healing.
Vaginoplasty results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and avoid future childbirth. Many women report a significant improvement in both vaginal tightness and sexual satisfaction.

Is vaginoplasty painful?
Some discomfort is expected, but most patients manage it well with prescribed medications, frequent icing, and following our post-operative instructions.
