Vaginal tightening or vaginal tightening surgery is becoming increasingly important in intimate surgery.
The suffering of women, who usually suffer from a dilated vaginal wall after natural childbirth, should not be underestimated. Particularly if the children born were quite large, the stretched vaginal wall may not regress after the pregnancy.
This can have an extremely negative impact on sex life and can also lead to problems in private life, everyday life and also at work due to a psychosocial disorder caused by the altered genital area.
At our intimate surgery clinic in Düsseldorf, vaginal tightening is often combined with labia reduction, as the additional surgical effort involved in a simultaneous operation is less than if we were to perform the two procedures separately.
In addition, there is the unique healing phase and recovery, which are almost identical for vaginal tightening and labiaplasty surgery.

Special features of vaginal constriction
While we perform traditional vaginal tightening surgically, there are alternatives using fillers and autologous fat, which can also bring about a certain tightening.
Surgical vaginal constriction
Vaginal tightening with hyaluronic acid
The classic vaginal or vaginal tightening is performed surgically in Düsseldorf.
Tightening the vagina means:
If the vaginal wall, including its muscles, is significantly dilated, this excess is removed as part of vaginal tightening = vaginal narrowing. Our intimate surgery team spares the muscles and sutures them in such a way that they are strengthened.
We reduce the excess on the back wall of the vagina, as the front wall is very important for sensation. The size of the strip to be removed for tightening depends on the extent of the dilation.
Procedure of the surgery
Vaginal tightening is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour.
The intimate surgery procedure in Düsseldorf can be performed on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
Our team of plastic surgeons usually apply the suture with self-dissolving stitches.
Frequently asked questions about vaginal constriction
Is autologous fat suitable for vaginal tightening?
With autologous fat injections, we harvest fat in the form of liposuction, as described in the corresponding article. This also works for slim women, as not a lot of fat is required.
Our intimate surgery team in Düsseldorf then prepares the fat in a centrifuge so that fluids and blood are separated. Coarse structures are also removed.
We then inject the autologous fat into the vaginal wall and can tighten the vagina by increasing the volume. The healed fat remains in place for the long term. However, it does not heal completely, so the minor operation may need to be repeated.
As a rule, we perform the procedure under twilight sleep or general anesthesia.
Can vaginal constriction also be performed with hyaluronic acid?
Vaginal tightening with hyaluronic acid is easier because we can save women the step of having their own fat removed by liposuction.
The material is already ready and can be injected. The vagina can be tightened in this way under local anesthesia or, better still, under sedation.
In contrast to autologous fat injections, treatment with hyaluronic acid only lasts around 9-12 months and must then be repeated at the intimate surgery department of the Yuveo Clinic in Düsseldorf in order to achieve lasting vaginal tightening results.
Can a vaginal tightening be combined with a labia reduction?
Vaginal tightening is also frequently combined with labia reduction at our intimate surgery clinic in Düsseldorf, as the additional surgical effort involved in a simultaneous operation is less than if we were to perform the two procedures separately.
In addition, there is the unique healing phase and recovery, which are almost identical for vaginal tightening and labiaplasty surgery.
What is the follow-up treatment after vaginal constriction?
Rest and physical rest are particularly important for women undergoing surgery in the first few days after the lift.
Sports activities and intercourse should be avoided for approx. 4 to 6 weeks so that the suture can heal stably and cannot tear.
No stitches need to be removed after we have narrowed the vagina.
The aftercare for vaginal tightening in intimate surgery in Düsseldorf is identical if the procedure is combined with a labiaplasty.
