Life events like childbirth, aging, or genetics can lead to changes in vaginal tone that may impact your confidence, intimacy, and even physical comfort. If you’ve noticed a lack of tightness, a change in sensation, or simply don’t feel like yourself anymore, vaginoplasty offers a solution that’s both empowering and highly personalized.
Dr. Jeff Healy provides a safe, private, and supportive environment for women considering this delicate yet transformative procedure at Healy Plastic Surgery in Honolulu. With over two decades of surgical experience, Dr. Healy takes the time to understand your goals and craft a surgical plan that restores tone and function while always respecting your comfort and privacy.
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues by bringing together stretched or separated muscles and removing excess skin. The result is improved vaginal tone, enhanced control, and in some cases, increased sexual satisfaction or relief from discomfort.
This procedure is often chosen after vaginal childbirth, which can stretch the muscles beyond their ability to recover fully. It’s also common in women experiencing age-related laxity, loss of tone, or changes following weight loss or hormonal shifts. Some women choose vaginoplasty for functional reasons, others for intimate wellness, and many for both. The goal is to restore a sense of confidence and control in a setting that feels safe and never rushed.
Vaginoplasty is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation in our private, accredited surgical suite. The procedure takes approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Dr. Healy makes incisions inside the vaginal canal, where he carefully tightens the underlying muscles and removes any excess mucosal tissue. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible external scars. You’ll return home the same day with post-op instructions and personalized support from our team. Follow-up appointments are scheduled with Dr. Healy, who remains involved throughout your healing process.
Vaginoplasty is designed to address:
Vaginoplasty specifically addresses the internal vaginal canal and surrounding pelvic floor muscles. It can be performed on its own or paired with other vaginal rejuvenation procedures such as labiaplasty or perineoplasty, depending on your goals.
Patients who undergo vaginoplasty often report:
While results vary, many women describe a significant improvement in both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
This procedure is not right for everyone. During your consultation, Dr. Healy will talk through your symptoms, goals, and any non-surgical alternatives to help you make a confident, informed decision. You may be a good candidate for vaginoplasty if you:
Recovery from vaginoplasty is generally straightforward. Most patients return to light activity within a week, but you’ll need to avoid vigorous exercise, tampon use, and sexual intercourse for 6 weeks to allow for full internal healing.
Swelling, soreness, and light spotting are common early on and typically subside within the first week or two. You’ll receive detailed care instructions and ongoing support from our team, including complimentary lifetime follow-up care.
Most patients notice improved tone and muscle strength within a few weeks of healing, with full results apparent at about 8 to 12 weeks. Sensation may increase gradually as nerve endings settle and tissue heals.
While aging continues naturally, results from vaginoplasty are long-lasting, especially when supported by good health and no future pregnancies. For many women, the emotional benefits are just as significant as the physical ones, renewing their sense of connection, confidence, and control.
Dr. Jeff Healy offers more than just surgical skill—he offers deep experience, discretion, and respect for your privacy and goals. With over two decades of surgical work, including 23 years in military medicine, he brings unmatched professionalism to a procedure requiring technical precision and emotional sensitivity.
At Healy Plastic Surgery in Honolulu, you can expect:
Discomfort is common for a few days, but most patients describe it as manageable with prescribed medication. We’ll provide detailed care instructions to help you stay comfortable.
Many patients return to desk jobs within 5–7 days. If your work is more physically demanding, you may need 10–14 days of rest.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine vaginoplasty with labiaplasty or perineoplasty for more complete rejuvenation. Dr. Healy can guide you through a personalized plan.
Results are long-lasting but not immune to natural aging. Future pregnancies can affect your results. Maintaining pelvic health helps preserve your outcome.
