I have a little knowledge about vaginoplasty surgery. And I am planning to have it in coming months. Can you please explain what happens during a vaginoplasty?

Question

Vaginoplasty procedure depends on the type of surgery being performed on an individual. For women with childbirth injuries, the procedure includes - removing extra skin, using stitches to secure loose tissue, reducing the opening size of the vagina. If you have born issue, your doctor will create a functional vagina, remove excess tissue, prevent blood from pooling during menstruation. In case of gender affirmation vaginoplasty, the male external genitalia are removed partially and reconfigured. A vaginal canal and labia is built using the penis skin and scrotum.
