G-Spot Amplification
Most women (and men!) would agree that the G-spot can be hard to find. But for some women, it's darn near impossible to palpate. In these cases, the procedure commonly known as the "G-shot" can help magnify this powerful patch of sex tissue. Surgeons inject the G-spot with collagen, causing it to swell to around the size of a quarter. It’s a fast procedure, taking 15 minutes from start to finish. Unfortunately, the effects only last for three months.
Does this surgery mean better sex?
Enlarging the G-spot makes it easier to find - and more responsive. In fact, an impressive 90 percent of women say they’ve had better sex and more orgasms after the G-shot. Reports of multiple and spontaneous orgasms are also common.
This is quite a costly job at around $1,850.
Vaginal Tightening
Childbirth is hard - not just on the mother, but on her vagina. As a result, many women undergo vaginal tightening. In this procedure, surgeons cut or use a laser to tighten and shorten the stretched muscles at the back of the vagina. Excess vaginal lining is also removed at this time. The procedure takes approximately an hour, but many women will require an overnight hospital stay.

Patients say vaginal tightening gives them a brand new vagina. Because the muscles are tighter, the sensations during sex can be much stronger for both the woman and her male partner.
Vaginal tightening typically costs around $5,900.
Phalloplasty
Women aren’t the only ones who put their privates under the knife. In fact, there are several procedures designed for men. Phalloplasty plays to the ultimate male fantasy by increasing the size and girth of the penis. During enlargement phalloplasty, the surgeon makes two cuts: one at the base of the penis and the other at the ligament that attaches the penis to the body. This causes the penis to extend further from the body. It’s not actually longer, but more of it is visible. There’s also girth enlargement phalloplasty, where surgeons graft fat underneath the skin of the penis or inject it. Men who opt for a full phalloplasty have both these procedures done. The surgery normally takes between one and three hours. (Learn more about the male member in 10 Things You Don't Know About Penises.)
Does this surgery mean better sex?
We’ve all been told that size doesn’t matter, but try telling that to a man who's convinced he's below average. For these men, higher confidence can mean better sex, both for them and their partners. However, like all surgery, phalloplasty comes with its share of risk. The most serious (and ironic) in this case is the loss of the penis as a result of infection or blood supply issues.
Phalloplasty typically cost between $4,000 and $5,000.
Should You Pursue Surgery for Better Sex?
Many of us like to say we'd give anything for great sex, but in reality, most of us wouldn't be willing to sacrifice our health - or our lives. Therefore, it's important to think carefully before going under the knife in pursuit of pleasure. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has taken a firm stance against all genital rejuvenation procedures because it says the risks outweigh any benefits. These risks include post-surgical bleeding, infection, decreased sensation, pain, excessive scarring and even sexual dysfunction. If you’re one of the unlucky ones, that procedure you got to improve your sex life might actually make things worse - or even make sex impossible.
On the other side of the coin, many plastic surgery fans say these operations have given them a new lease on life. If you do decide the procedures are worth the risk and expense, you’ll need to find a reputable surgeon certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the official body in your country.
