Getting to know your new vagina

Vaginoplasty is a Gender Reassignment Surgery procedure that transforms the transgender person's genitalia into female genitals, including a neo-vagina. Post-operative vaginal dilation is an integral part of the initial surgery recovery and the regular maintenance of a transgender person's neo-vagina. Typically, dilation begins a few days after surgery and is almost always required for life. Without proper dilation, the skin graft inside the vagina tends to contract which leads to shortening or closure of the neo-vagina. This is an irreversible result—one cannot regain the original vaginal depth by simply resuming or doing more dilation. Dilation may not be pleasant but it's essential to follow your surgeon's dilation protocol in order to prevent loss of depth of your new vagina.
