  2. Aesthetic Vaginoplasty:
    • Vaginal Tightening: Enhances the tightness of the vaginal canal for improved sexual satisfaction.
    • Labiaplasty: Often combined with vaginoplasty to reshape the labia minora or majora for aesthetic purposes.
  3. Gender-Affirming Vaginoplasty:
    • Male-to-Female (MTF) Surgery: Creates a functional and aesthetically pleasing vagina for transgender women.
