Changes after vaginal childbirth
Reduced tissue tone, a widened vaginal opening, and a feeling of vaginal looseness following childbirth—especially after an episiotomy or perineal tear.
Perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that restores the natural shape and function of the perineal area — performed for women after childbirth or injury, with careful attention to physical comfort, the quality of intercourse and intimate aesthetics.
— in brief
Perineoplasty is the surgical repair of the perineum and vaginal vestibule, performed for women whose perineal tissues have been damaged or overstretched — most often as a result of vaginal childbirth or an injury to the intimate area.
During the procedure, excess skin and lax soft tissue are removed, and the carefully prepared structures are then precisely sutured. The goal is to restore the natural shape, muscle tone and better support of the vaginal vestibule.
Perineoplasty resolves the problem of a widened vaginal opening, discomfort during intercourse and a tendency to recurrent intimate infections. It is a medical procedure focused on physical comfort, hygiene and confidence in your own body.
Every qualification for perineoplasty is individual. Below are typical situations in which perineal repair can significantly improve quality of life — not every patient will need surgery.
Reduced tissue tone, a widened vaginal opening, and a feeling of vaginal looseness following childbirth—especially after an episiotomy or perineal tear.
Pain, chafing or a feeling of reduced contact during intercourse, related to changes in the tissues of the perineum and vaginal vestibule.
Increased susceptibility to infections and irritation caused by insufficient protection of the vaginal vestibule due to anatomical changes.
The wish to restore the aesthetic appearance of the perineal area, greater ease in daily hygiene and a sense of psychological comfort.
The entire procedure — from entering the treatment room to leaving the clinic — usually takes between one hour and an hour and a half. The steps below help you understand what perineoplasty looks like in practice.
A detailed history, gynecological examination and a discussion of your symptoms, expectations and the available treatment options — both surgical and conservative.
before surgeryDisinfection of the surgical area and selection of the type of anaesthesia. Depending on the scope of the repair, local anaesthesia is used.
~10–20 minSurgical removal of excess skin and lax tissue, and correction of the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal vestibule to restore natural shape and tone.
~40–45 minThe tissues are closed with sutures suited to the intimate area, bleeding is controlled and an appropriate dressing is applied.
~15–20 minA thorough discussion of hygiene, restrictions on physical activity and intercourse, and the schedule of follow-up visits. The patient receives a written aftercare plan.
immediately after surgeryHigh-quality antiseptic agents are applied immediately before the perineal repair begins.
The type of anaesthesia is chosen individually, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's health.
Where indicated, antibiotic prophylaxis and measures minimising the risk of bleeding and infection are applied.
The tissues’ response to surgery, wound healing, and the final outcome are individual and may vary from one patient to another. Smoking impairs the healing process.
Diligently following the recommendations on hygiene, physical activity and intercourse increases safety and influences the final result of the procedure.
Complications after perineoplasty are rare (an estimated 4–10%) and are discussed in detail during the pre-operative consultation.
During the consultation the patient can ask about every aspect of the planned treatment — the scope of surgery, the expected results and alternative methods.
The decision to perform perineoplasty is made after jointly discussing the benefits, the risks and your expectations.
Below are indicative prices for the perineoplasty procedure. The final quote is set individually during the consultation — depending on the scope of the procedure and the surgical technique chosen.
