Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between aesthetic vaginoplasty and gender reassignment vaginoplasty?+
Aesthetic vaginoplasty is aimed at women wishing to correct vaginal laxity resulting from childbirth or ageing. Gender reassignment vaginoplasty (trans) is a complex genital surgery that creates a neovagina in trans women as part of a gender dysphoria pathway. These are two entirely distinct procedures in terms of their objectives, techniques and management.
What are the indications for aesthetic vaginoplasty?+
Aesthetic vaginoplasty is indicated for women with vaginal laxity after one or more vaginal deliveries, sometimes aggravated by ageing or significant weight loss. It improves vaginal tone, intimate comfort and satisfaction during intercourse. It can be combined with perineoplasty if the perineum is also involved.
Under what anaesthesia is vaginoplasty performed?+
Aesthetic vaginoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia. It lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 and is performed on an outpatient basis or with a short overnight stay depending on the case. A mandatory pre-anaesthesia consultation is scheduled before the procedure.
Is it painful after the operation?+
The post-operative period involves moderate discomfort for the first 3 to 5 days, managed effectively with simple analgesics. Perineal swelling and urinary discomfort are normal in the first few days. Discomfort gradually decreases and internal healing is well underway at 4 to 6 weeks.
When can sexual intercourse be resumed?+
Resumption of sexual intercourse is recommended after 6 to 8 weeks post-operatively, once internal healing is complete and muscular tone has stabilised. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre confirms the appropriate timing at the 6-week follow-up consultation.
Are the results permanent?+
Results are durable but may change with further deliveries or ageing. In the absence of these factors, the improvement in vaginal tone is stable over time. The definitive result is achieved at 6 to 12 months post-operatively, once the muscular and fascial structures have consolidated.
What results can be expected from vaginoplasty?+
Vaginoplasty restores vaginal tone and improves comfort and pleasure during intercourse. It does not alter the external appearance of the vulva. Patients report a significant improvement in their intimate quality of life. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre outlines the realistic expected results for each situation during the pre-operative consultation.
Are there scars?+
No, the scars are entirely internal and therefore invisible from the outside. They are located inside the vagina and do not affect external aesthetics. The sutures used are absorbable and do not require removal.
Can vaginoplasty be combined with other procedures?+
Yes, vaginoplasty can be performed simultaneously with labiaplasty (labia minora reduction), perineoplasty or clitoroplasty, in the same operative session. This combined approach optimises recovery and allows all concerned areas to be treated in a single procedure.
Is vaginoplasty covered by health insurance?+
Aesthetic vaginoplasty is not covered by health insurance. It is performed entirely at the patient's expense. A detailed quote will be provided during the pre-operative consultation in accordance with applicable regulations. However, if a prolapse is associated, the functional repair procedures may be covered separately.
