Perineoplasty Surgery

Surgical repair and rejuvenation of the perineum and vaginal opening

The perineum — the area between the vaginal opening and the anus — is often damaged during childbirth or loses tone with age. Perineoplasty surgically repairs and reconstructs this area, tightening the vaginal introitus, correcting scar tissue from episiotomies and restoring a more youthful, aesthetic appearance.

Perineoplasty is frequently combined with vaginoplasty for comprehensive vaginal rejuvenation and can address functional concerns such as discomfort during intercourse as well as aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is perineoplasty the same as a posterior repair?

They are related but distinct: posterior repair focuses on rectocele correction while perineoplasty addresses the external perineum and vaginal opening specifically.

Will perineoplasty affect sensation?

When performed by an experienced gynaecological surgeon, perineoplasty improves rather than reduces sensation by correcting painful scar tissue and restoring normal anatomy.
