How to prepare for vaginal tightening procedure?
Preparation for vaginal tightening involves attending pre-op consultations, following fasting or medication instructions, arranging post-op transport, and preparing your home for rest and recovery. You may also need to stop smoking or adjust certain medicines.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Your surgeon will provide tailored instructions based on your health and procedure type. You may need to fast before anaesthesia, stop certain medicines (e.g., blood thinners), and complete blood tests. Avoid shaving the genital area right before surgery to reduce infection risk. Arrange help at home for a few days post-op, stock up on hygiene supplies, and prepare easy meals. Good preparation supports a smoother, safer recovery. NHS guide on surgical preparation.
Clinical Context
Preparation is unique for each woman, but good communication with your care team is vital. Ask questions and clarify what to expect during the first days after surgery.
