Vaginoplasty in Houston

Vaginoplasty, sometimes referred to as vaginal tightening, is an outpatient procedure, designed to tighten the internal vaginal muscles. These muscles often become stretched or cut during childbirth.

The ideal candidate for a Vaginoplasty will be a woman in good health, and who feels that her vaginal canal is too loose.

At your confidential Vaginoplasty consultation, Dr. Vitenas will review items such as your medical history, any medications you are taking, and your aesthetic desires. He will explain your Vaginoplasty options, then answer any remaining questions. Finally, Dr. Vitenas will go over the recovery requirements and the potential complications of a Vaginoplasty procedure. If the procedure is right for your needs, he will draw up a surgical plan, as well as discuss the exact cost of the Vaginoplasty, and all of your payment choices.

All Vaginoplasty procedures are performed by Dr. Vitenas in his operating suites at the Houston Surgery Center.

Depending on your individual needs, the vaginoplasty cost may vary. On average, Vaginoplasty will cost between $6,000 and $7,000. This includes the surgical suite, anesthesia, the Board Certified anesthesiologist’s fees, the doctor’s charges, as well as the cost of all follow-ups and an aftercare kit. During the consultation appointment with Dr. Vitenas, the total cost of your Vaginoplasty will be determined.

Depending on the individual procedure, general anesthesia may be used during a Vaginoplasty or the combination of a local anesthetic and IV sedation.

For the Vaginoplasty procedure, an incision is made on the posterior (rear) floor of the vagina, after which a portion of the posterior vaginal wall is excised. Finally, the remaining vaginal muscles will be tightened, and dissolvable sutures will be placed.

Normally, a Vaginoplasty will take one to two hours to perform.

Most patients have some discomfort and soreness after the procedure. Dr. Vitenas prescribes needed pain medications for a comfortable healing process.

You should expect the recovery time, after your Vaginoplasty, to last from seven to fourteen days.

The normal Vaginoplasty recovery can take one to two weeks. Some light bleeding may occur during the first day after surgery, and women often feel a bit sore. Bruising and mild swelling may occur but usually fade within one week.

In 3 to 5 days, after a Vaginoplasty, most women are feeling well enough to go back to work or school.

Exercise and strenuous lifting should be put off for four to six weeks after your Vaginoplasty surgery.

Vaginoplasty is considered a safe procedure, but still holds the chance for certain complications to occur. These include excessive bleeding, infection, and scarring. Patients who choose an experienced, Board Certified surgeon have a much smaller chance for complications.

Patients may choose to pay for their Vaginoplasty with cash or any major credit card. Medical financing is also available through CareCredit. The exact cost of your Vaginoplasty will be determined during the consultation appointment, and at this time all of your payment choices will be explained.
