Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty treatment is a surgical procedure used to create a vagina. If we need to answer the question of what is vaginoplasty surgery, we can answer it this way. Additionally, vaginoplasty surgery can be used to create a vagina for trans women as a type of gender-affirming surgery.
Penile inversion technique is the most commonly used vaginoplasty technique. This procedure uses the skin of the penis to form the lining of the vagina. The surgeon creates the labia majora from the skin of the testicles and the clitoris from the skin at the tip of the penis, which is known to be particularly sensitive. The surgeon leaves the prostate in place to act as an erogenous spot. If there is not enough skin to reach the required vaginal depth, skin grafts are taken from the upper part of the buttocks, inner thighs and even under the abdomen with minimal scarring. One of the controversies surrounding penile inversion techniques has to do with using skin grafts to create the vulva. Some plastic surgeons believe that excess skin causes a better appearance, while others think that functionality is more important and should not be sacrificed. This is due to the fact that the skin in the genital area is not as sensitive as the skin.
