Vaginoplasty
Board-Certified Ob-Gyn Surgeon
Doctor-Led Surgical Vaginal Tightening by a Board-Certified OB-GYN Cosmetic Gynecologist Kimberly L. Evans, MD
Vaginoplasty is a surgical cosmetic gynecology procedure designed to restore internal vaginal tone, strength, and support by tightening the vaginal canal and underlying muscles.
At our Houston practice, vaginoplasty is personally evaluated and performed by Dr. Kimberly Evans, a board-certified OB-GYN with extensive experience in female pelvic anatomy. This procedure is approached with a medical-first, anatomy-focused philosophy, prioritizing function, safety, and long-term outcomes.
What Is Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses internal vaginal laxity, often caused by childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes.
Over time, stretching of the vaginal muscles and connective tissue can lead to reduced tone and support. Unlike external cosmetic procedures, vaginoplasty focuses on internal anatomy and pelvic support, not the appearance of the labia or external tissues.
This procedure is carefully individualized and is not recommended for every patient,
which is why proper medical evaluation is essential.
What Vaginoplasty Can Address
Patients may consider vaginoplasty for concerns such as:
Vaginal looseness or laxity
Decreased vaginal tone or tightness
Reduced sensation related to laxity
Changes following vaginal childbirth
Functional concerns affecting intimacy
Pelvic support changes not improved with non-surgical options
Vaginoplasty is intended to improve internal support and function, not external appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Vaginoplasty?
-
Experience vaginal laxity affecting function or intimacy
Have completed childbirth
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery
Desire a surgical solution rather than non-invasive treatments
A private consultation allows Dr. Evans to determine whether vaginoplasty — or a non-surgical alternative — is most appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Vaginoplasty vs. Other Cosmetic Gynecology Procedures
Cosmetic gynecology procedures address different anatomical areas and should not be confused.
Vaginoplasty focuses on the internal vaginal canal and muscles
Labiaplasty focuses on the external labial tissue
Perinoplasty focuses on the perineal support at the vaginal opening
These procedures involve different anatomy and healing requirements. However, vaginoplasty can be performed at the same time as labiaplasty or perineoplasty, unless medically inappropriate after careful evaluation.
