What to expect before vaginal tightening surgery?
Before vaginal tightening surgery, you can expect a comprehensive consultation, pre-operative health assessment, discussion of your goals, and clear information about risks, benefits, and recovery. You may need to stop certain medications and arrange post-surgery support.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Your surgeon will review your medical history, examine your pelvic area, and may request blood tests or other pre-op investigations. You’ll receive clear instructions about fasting, medication adjustments, and hygiene. Smoking cessation is usually advised, and you should have someone to take you home after surgery. The clinic will discuss what’s achievable and answer your questions about pain relief, risks, scarring, and long-term outcomes. NHS: What to expect before surgery.
