What Is Perineoplasty?

Perineoplasty is a minor reconstructive surgery that tightens and restores the tissues of the perineum. It is commonly performed for:

  • Post-childbirth perineal widening
  • Episiotomy or tear repair
  • Aesthetic concerns with the vaginal opening
  • Discomfort during intercourse due to laxity or gaping
  • Support for mild pelvic organ prolapse

This procedure is often combined with vaginoplasty, labial surgery, or pelvic floor repair for more comprehensive results.


Who Should Consider Perineoplasty?

Perineoplasty may be ideal if you experience:

  • A feeling of looseness or gaping at the vaginal opening
  • Pain during intercourse or reduced sensation
  • Perineal scarring or asymmetry from previous childbirth tears or episiotomies
  • Difficulty with hygiene due to altered anatomy
  • Embarrassment or self-consciousness about the appearance of the perineal area

A personalized consultation at a Korean women’s clinic will determine whether this procedure is suitable for your goals.


How Is Perineoplasty Performed in Korea?

Perineoplasty in Korea is done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and patient preference.

Procedure steps:

  1. The surgeon marks and removes excess or scarred tissue from the perineal area
  2. Muscles and tissues are tightened and repositioned to restore support
  3. The vaginal opening is narrowed to a more natural size
  4. Dissolvable sutures are used for minimal scarring and smooth healing

The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, and most patients go home the same day.

Korean clinics emphasize microsurgical precision, natural-looking results, and preservation of nerve sensitivity.


Benefits of Perineoplasty

  • Restores tension and tone to the vaginal opening
  • Improves sexual sensation and comfort
  • Corrects scarring or disfigurement after childbirth
  • Enhances genital aesthetics
  • Strengthens the pelvic floor for better function and bladder control


Recovery After Perineoplasty

Recovery is generally straightforward and well-managed with proper care.

  • Mild swelling, tenderness, and tightness for the first 1–2 weeks
  • Resume light activity after 2–3 days
  • Avoid sexual activity, tampon use, and intense exercise for 4–6 weeks
  • Full healing occurs within 6–8 weeks

Your clinic will provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to monitor healing.
