Vaginoplasty is an outpatient surgery that takes about one hour to complete. After the patient is fully awake from the anesthesia, she can go home and rest. For the first two days, there will be some discomfort. If the patient feels pain, she can take a pain reliever prescribed by our doctor.
Cosmetic Gynecologist Dr. Jack Ayoub, founder of The Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation of Virginia, will prescribe an antibiotic to be taken before the surgery, as in some cases there is a very slim chance of infection. He will also recommend using an ice pack in the first 24–72 hours to help decrease swelling.
Recovery
On average, after 3–5 days, the patient will be able to go back to work. Dr. Ayoub recommends adding light physical activity slowly, and as the patient starts feeling better, she will be able to resume her regular daily activities. Heavy lifting or exhausting exercise should wait until at least 3 weeks after the surgery.
As weeks go by, the redness and swelling will go away and the patient will start feeling normal again. In 6 weeks, the patient will be ready to resume normal sexual activities.
