Perineum and pelvic floor repair is a straightforward operation and many women go on to make a good recovery. However, there are some risks that you should be aware of. Complications of perineum and pelvic floor repair surgery include: injury to the uterus or bowel, perforation of the bladder or rectum or a recurrence of symptoms, which may require further treatment. All of these complications are rare.
Rarely, over tightening of the perineum may cause the entrance to the vagina to become tight, which may require you to use lubrication or vaginal dilators. Sometimes corrective surgery may be needed, but this is very rare.
Any type of operation also carries a risk of excessive bleeding, developing a blood clot in a vein,
infection or an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic. However the risk of any of these happening during your vaginoplasty is small.
Our expert surgeon will discuss all the risks with you and will be happy to answer any questions that you may have before you undergo your vaginal tightening surgery.
