We identify where laxity is present
We assess widening of the vaginal opening and laxity of the inner vaginal wall separately. Postpartum perineal changes, pelvic floor function, and pain are also reviewed.
Vaginal filler / Vaginal laser
Vaginoplasty
We adjust the width and opening of a lax vagina according to the condition of the tissue.
At a vaginal surgery consultation in Sasang, Busan, please discuss your current symptoms, childbirth and surgical history, and future pregnancy plans.
What does this surgery involve?
Vaginoplasty is surgery that adjusts excess vaginal mucosa and sutures supporting tissue as needed to reduce vaginal width. The surgical extent depends on which area is lax—the opening, the inner vagina, or both.

Tissue adjustment and suturing
1Sutures2Tissue
Excess tissue is adjusted, and the necessary tissue is brought together and sutured.
This conceptual diagram explains the mechanism. It does not show the actual treatment site, extent, or product shape.
We adjust the tissue that needs to be treated
In general, we consider adjusting excess mucosa and bringing the surrounding support tissue together with sutures. There are also methods that bring tissue together without excision, so the actual technique is decided after examination.
We plan width and recovery together
The goal is not simply to make it narrower. We consider which tissue to preserve, the extent of the opening, and the risks of scarring and pain with intercourse, and we monitor progress during recovery.
What change are you aiming for?
Vaginal width and opening
The goal of surgery is to adjust the width and shape of the area of laxity identified during examination.
Changes you notice in daily life
We confirm whether the cause of the feeling of laxity matches the planned surgical area. This surgery does not also guarantee better sensation, greater sexual satisfaction, or improvement in urinary incontinence.
We do not decide on a surgical method based on a change in sensation alone.
If you feel vaginal laxity or discomfort during sex, symptoms and exam findings should be reviewed together. We distinguish dryness, pain, and pelvic floor concerns, and consider whether surgery that adjusts tissue is appropriate.
You can hear an explanation during your visit, review what you need to know, and then decide.
What we need to discuss before deciding on surgery
The most bothersome symptom
Please tell us what is affecting daily life, such as a sense of looseness, pain, pressure, or urine leakage.
Childbirth and surgical history
We review any injury or sutures at childbirth, previous vaginal reshaping procedures and injection treatments, and future pregnancy plans.
What you hope surgery will address
We distinguish which changes may be possible from symptoms that are hard to resolve. Sexual function and satisfaction cannot be guaranteed by surgery.
Surgery with excision and suturing is different from non-surgical procedures.
Planning for vaginoplasty
If needed, tissue at the vaginal opening or vaginal wall is adjusted. The actual site of excision and how much muscle is involved require explanation based on the examination.
The role of other methods
Pelvic floor training or treatment of symptoms may also be needed. We do not present laser or injection procedures as alternatives that produce the same results as surgery.
We connect care from the examination through after you go home.
An examination to determine the treatment area
We compare the change you want with the actual tissue, and you will be told which areas would be operated on and which tissue should be left.
Confirm the schedule and preparation
Please share your medications, allergies, and previous surgery history. We will confirm fasting for anesthesia, whether you need someone to accompany you home, and how long you may need to adjust work.
What to watch during recovery
You will receive guidance on how to clean the wound, how to use prescribed medicines, and your next visit. Exercise and sexual activity are resumed after recovery is confirmed.
Discomfort may remain or appear after surgery.
The wound and surrounding tissue
You will be informed about possible bleeding, infection, scarring, and injury to nearby organs. New changes such as difficulty urinating or having a bowel movement should also be reviewed.
The problem of becoming too narrow
Excessive narrowing or scarring can cause pain during intercourse. The degree of tightness alone is not used as the measure of outcome.
Confirming when to resume
Wound healing is checked in follow-up, and timing for exercise and sexual activity is decided then. If pain or bleeding worsens, contact the surgical facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is surgery needed after childbirth?
We do not decide that surgery is needed based on childbirth history alone. We also consider current discomfort, tissue and muscle condition, and future pregnancy plans.
Does considering vaginal procedures always mean having vaginoplasty?
'Vaginal procedures' is an umbrella term and does not always mean vaginoplasty. Vaginoplasty adjusts and sutures tissue. Its mechanism differs from fillers and lasers, and its suitability is assessed according to actual symptoms and the condition of tissue and muscles.
Feel free to bring your questions.
Please tell us what is bothering you and your previous examination and treatment history. Together we will confirm the care you need.
