Repair, or vaginal repair surgery, is an operation that reshapes the muscles and repairs loose tissue inside the vagina to make it tighter. Its aim is to reduce the size of the vagina, or make its diameter smaller, and give it better contraction than before. The surgeon reshapes the vagina along its full depth, reshapes the inner tissue, and reconstructs the hymen, together with tightening the skin around the vaginal opening. This helps the vagina contract and spring back better. After vaginal tightening surgery, the vagina becomes fit, firm and tighter again, restoring youthfulness and strength for the strong women of 2022. It ends the problems of a vagina that no longer feels tight, a loose vagina, vaginal wind and air escaping from the vagina, restoring confidence in your relationship and in the bedroom.

Vaginal tightening surgery (Repair), or vaginal repair surgery, is an operation that reshapes the muscles and repairs tissue inside the vagina that has deteriorated, become loose and slack, and lost its tightness, making it fit and tight once again.

The surgeon reshapes the vagina along its full depth to repair and strengthen the vaginal walls, reconstructs the hymen, and tightens the skin around the vaginal opening. This helps the vagina contract and spring back better.

Preparing for vaginal repair and tightening surgery

1. Have a cervical cancer screening before surgery
2. Stop taking blood thinners, steroids, painkillers, anti-inflammatory muscle medicines, vitamins and all supplements for at least 2 weeks before surgery (for medicines for underlying conditions, follow the advice of your treating doctor)
3. Tell your surgeon about any underlying conditions, medicines for those conditions, previous surgeries, drug allergies and any supplements you take
4. Do not smoke or drink alcohol for at least 2 weeks before surgery and for at least 1 week after, to reduce the risk of infection after vaginal tightening surgery. Substances in cigarettes also reduce the amount of oxygen in the blood, which may make wounds heal more slowly than normal.
5. This surgery is performed under general anaesthesia given by an anaesthesiologist. Before surgery, patients must not eat or drink for at least 8 hours.
6. Remove nail polish and nail extensions before the day of surgery, as the anaesthesiologist needs to measure oxygen levels at your fingertip, and nail polish or extensions will make the readings inaccurate
7. If you are currently unwell, for example with a fever, cough, sore throat, diarrhoea, an infected wound, red or sore eyes, etc., please inform the nurse at least 2 days before surgery

Tips: getting ready for the day of your vaginal tightening surgery

1. Arrive 1-2 hours before your surgery time to prepare
2. Shower and wash your hair on the day of surgery. Do not wear contact lenses, make-up or nail polish; remove false nails; and do not wear lotion, perfume or jewellery on the day of surgery. Please leave valuables at home.
3. Wear loose clothing with a zip or buttons at the front, and a skirt that is easy to take off on the day of surgery. Do not wear tight-fitting clothes or trousers. 
4. Do not drive yourself or come alone; a companion or relative must accompany you on the day of surgery
5. Prepare yourself mentally and try not to get too anxious. Be aware that swelling is normal after surgery, and it takes time for the wounds to heal and for you to get used to the new you.
