Dr. Sue Kafali, board-certified OB/GYN at FemSculpt Cosmetic Gynecology in Chicago

Restored Sensation and Confidence

Patients describe vaginoplasty results as life-changing. Tighter fit, improved sensation during intimacy, and confidence many had not felt in years.

Sensation Protection Built In

Dr. Kafali's OB/GYN training means she understands nerve pathways and sexual function. Protecting and improving sensation is part of every surgical plan.

A Surgeon Who Truly Understands

Dr. Kafali is a female board-certified OB/GYN. She understands how childbirth changes the body and how to restore what matters most.

Things have not been the same since having kids. It does not have to stay that way.

After vaginal deliveries, many women notice a feeling of looseness that was not there before. Intimacy does not feel the same. Some women stop enjoying sex entirely. Some feel embarrassed or disconnected from their own body. Some have been quietly dealing with this for years, thinking it was just what happens after kids.

These are real, physiological changes. Childbirth stretches the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues. For many women, Kegel exercises and time are not enough to restore the tightness and tone they had before.

Vaginal tightening surgery (vaginoplasty) can restore the internal canal and external opening. Patients consistently tell us they wish they had done it sooner. Many describe the results as the single most confidence-restoring decision they have made for themselves.

If this has been on the back burner for a while, that is okay. There is no timeline for deciding to do something about it. At FemSculpt, this is all we do.

What Vaginal Tightening Surgery Involves

Dr. Kafali tailors every vaginoplasty to each patient's anatomy and goals. Here is what you can expect.

What It Treats

Vaginoplasty addresses vaginal laxity caused by childbirth, aging, or trauma. Dr. Kafali can tighten both the vaginal opening (introitus) and the internal canal up to the level of the cervix.

  • Feeling of looseness during intercourse
  • Reduced sensation or inability to orgasm
  • Birth trauma or poor repair from previous delivery
  • Loss of vaginal tone and support

How It Works

The procedure is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Kafali removes excess tissue from the posterior vaginal wall and sutures the canal to create a tighter, more supportive space. The external opening can also be tightened.

  • Careful evaluation of exactly how much tightening is needed
  • Precise technique to avoid over-tightening
  • Sensation protection built into every step
  • Can be combined with labiaplasty or clitoral hood reduction

Recovery Timeline

Most patients say recovery was significantly easier than they expected. You will go home the same day with clear instructions from Dr. Kafali and your dedicated patient coordinator.

  • Day 1: Vaginal packing removed at home
  • Week 1-2: Pelvic discomfort managed with medication and ice
  • Week 6-8: Resume intercourse, tampons, and full activity
  • Dedicated support person checks in throughout recovery

Non-Surgical Alternatives

Mild to moderate laxity may respond to non-surgical options. Dr. Kafali offers both and will be honest about which approach is right for you.

  • Morpheus8V for deeper tissue remodeling
  • FormaV for gentle radiofrequency tightening
  • Kegel exercises for mild pelvic floor weakness
  • Honest recommendation based on the degree of laxity

Pricing varies by treatment method and is discussed during your consultation. Financing available through CareCredit and Cherry for qualified applicants.

Not sure if you need surgery or a non-surgical option?

Many patients come to us unsure which approach is right. During your consultation, Dr. Kafali will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and give you an honest recommendation. She offers both surgical and non-surgical options, so you will never be pushed toward something that will not deliver the results you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vaginal tightening, or vaginoplasty, is a surgical procedure that restores tightness to the vaginal canal and opening after childbirth, aging, or trauma. Dr. Sue Kafali, board-certified OB/GYN and Medical Director of FemSculpt Cosmetic Gynecology in Chicago, can tighten both the vaginal opening (introitus) and the internal canal up to the level of the cervix, depending on anatomy and goals. Many patients describe the results as life-changing, especially when it comes to restored confidence and improved intimacy.
Women who feel looseness during intercourse or notice reduced sensation compared to before may be candidates for vaginal tightening surgery. Women who have had vaginal deliveries, experienced birth trauma, or notice age-related changes should be evaluated for vaginal laxity, especially if it affects intimacy or daily comfort. During a consultation at FemSculpt Cosmetic Gynecology in Chicago, Dr. Sue Kafali will perform a thorough evaluation and recommend the best approach for each patient's specific situation.
Yes, mild to moderate vaginal laxity may improve with non-surgical options. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles over time, and treatments like FormaV, Aviva, or Morpheus8V use radiofrequency energy to promote tissue tightening without surgery or significant downtime. Dr. Sue Kafali offers both non-surgical and surgical options at FemSculpt Cosmetic Gynecology in Chicago and will help determine which approach is right based on the degree of laxity and individual goals.
Vaginoplasty is performed in the operating room under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Sue Kafali begins with a careful internal and external examination to determine exactly how much tightening is needed. If internal tightening is required, she removes excess tissue from the posterior vaginal wall and sutures the canal to create a narrower, more supportive space. The external opening can also be tightened by removing tissue from the posterior introitus. Dr. Kafali takes great care not to over-tighten, which could cause discomfort during intercourse. Her OB/GYN training gives her a deep understanding of vaginal anatomy, nerve pathways, and sexual function, so sensation protection is built into every step.
After surgery, patients go home with vaginal packing that stays in place for 24 hours. The packing is removed the following day per Dr. Kafali's instructions. Patients can expect some pelvic discomfort and tenderness around the vaginal opening, which is managed with oral pain medication and ice packs. Most patients say the pain is significantly less than they expected. Patients should avoid intercourse, tampons, and inserting anything into the vagina for 6 to 8 weeks. If needed, Dr. Sue Kafali may recommend vaginal dilators during recovery to maintain proper sizing of the opening and canal. A dedicated support person at FemSculpt will check in throughout recovery to make sure healing is on track.
As with any surgery, general risks include reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Risks specific to vaginoplasty include potential injury to the urethral opening (which could temporarily affect urination), injury to the anal canal or rectum, and over-tightening or vaginal stricture that may require correction. These serious complications are exceedingly rare, especially when the procedure is performed by a surgeon with specialized training in vaginal anatomy. Dr. Sue Kafali's board-certified OB/GYN background means she understands the complex nerve pathways and structures in this area, which is why sensation protection and precise surgical technique are central to every procedure she performs at FemSculpt Cosmetic Gynecology.
The cost of vaginal tightening depends on the extent of tightening required, the type of anesthesia, the surgical facility, and whether it is combined with other procedures like labiaplasty or clitoral hood reduction. FemSculpt Cosmetic Gynecology in Chicago offers competitive pricing and multiple financing options for qualified applicants to help make the procedure accessible. To get a personalized quote, schedule a consultation with Dr. Sue Kafali, where she can assess anatomy and recommend the right approach.
