What is the vaginoplasty procedure?

Vaginoplasty is a procedure performed to tighten the vaginal opening in the female genital area. This procedure is applied to solve problems caused by a loosened or enlarged vaginal opening due to factors such as childbirth, aging, or weight loss. Vaginoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon removes the tissues around the vaginal opening and then stitches up the internal tissues to narrow the vaginal opening.
