Before deciding to undergo vaginoplasty surgery, you need first to make sure that you solely decide to do it all by yourself. You also need to understand the risks and effects of the surgery to you. You should weigh the pros and cons first before giving the doctor a consent to perform the surgery.

The doctor may require you to stop taking medicated drugs especially those that contains Aspirin. He can provide you a list of medicated products and other supplements and vitamins.
The doctor will also ensure that you are not pregnant during the surgery or you have no plans to have children.

The pain may cause discomfort, however, it can be simply treated with medication for pain or pain reliever until it subsides for a few days. Swelling and bruising of the incision are normal and that will only last for a maximum of two weeks.
Recovery period
During the recovery period, the patient is not yet allowed to have a sexual intercourse for six weeks. She is not also allowed to perform strenuous activities during that period. The full recovery may take about three months.
If the procedure works, the vagina and its muscles will be tighter. However, there are cases where patients may face the risks of infection, scarring, pain during sexual intercourse, loss of pleasure or sensation, and an inability to control the leakage of urine.
Scarring is just a minor result because it will fade over longer shorter time.
After the procedure of the surgery, you can expect during your sexual intercourse an increased pleasure and your orgasmic intensity and frequency is more improved. Many women who had undergone vaginoplasty claimed it has been effective for them especially when it comes to their sex lives.
