Dr. Jeffrey M. Hantes – Vaginoplasty Surgeon in Fort Worth, Texas

Board-Certified in Gynecology and Urogynecology | Vaginoplasty & Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Jeffrey M. Hantes, DO, offers vaginoplasty at Female Health Associates of North Texas in Fort Worth, Texas. His background in gynecology, urogynecology, and advanced pelvic surgery supports the evaluation of women experiencing vaginal laxity and related pelvic concerns. He emphasizes identifying the anatomical changes behind each patient’s symptoms and discussing whether surgery is an appropriate option.

Evaluating Vaginal Changes After Childbirth

Women considering vaginoplasty may notice that the vaginal canal feels different after pregnancy and vaginal delivery. Stretched tissues and weakened supporting muscles can contribute to a persistent sense of looseness. These concerns are personal, and the changes experienced by one woman may differ considerably from those experienced by another.

Dr. Hantes reviews the patient’s medical history, childbirth history, symptoms, and goals before performing an examination. This assessment helps determine whether the concern involves vaginal laxity, pelvic organ support, or another condition requiring a different treatment approach. Future childbearing plans are also part of the discussion because another vaginal delivery may affect surgical results.

An Individualized Approach to Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce vaginal laxity by tightening supporting soft tissues and muscles and removing excess vaginal lining when indicated. Dr. Hantes develops the surgical plan around the examination findings and the changes being addressed.

His practice offers vaginoplasty as an outpatient procedure, with local anesthesia or conscious sedation available according to the treatment plan. Before surgery, patients can discuss the proposed technique, anesthesia, potential risks, and expected recovery. The consultation also provides an opportunity to clarify what the procedure may accomplish and the limitations of surgical treatment.

Recovery requires time for the tissues to heal. Patients receive instructions about activity restrictions, postoperative care, and follow-up visits. The timing of a return to work, exercise, and sexual activity depends on the extent of surgery and the patient’s healing progress.

Experience Beyond Vaginal Tightening Surgery

Dr. Hantes also diagnoses and treats vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, pelvic pain, and abnormal uterine bleeding. This experience is relevant when a woman reports vaginal looseness together with pelvic pressure, a bulge, or bladder symptoms. Understanding the full symptom pattern helps guide an appropriate evaluation.

Additional intimate surgery services include labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction. These procedures address external tissues rather than the vaginal canal. When patients have concerns involving more than one area, Dr. Hantes discusses the purpose of each procedure and whether a combined approach is suitable.

Advanced Pelvic Surgical Training

Dr. Hantes attended medical school and completed his residency at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth. He also served as a professor there for five years. He subsequently completed fellowship training in advanced endoscopic and pelvic surgery at the Women’s Hospital of Texas in Houston.

His professional interests include minimally invasive surgery and the treatment of complex pelvic conditions. He has published articles, participated in medical societies and hospital committees, and continued training throughout his career.
