Hi Nanama,
I found this link on EmpowHer:
https://www.empowher.com/vaginal-prolapse/content/vaginal-prolapse-what-it-and-how-it-treated-mayo-clinic-dr-cornella
I also found this information from the American Urogynecology Society:
Prolapse FAQ: http://www.mypelvichealth.org/TreatmentPrevention/PelvicOrganProlapse/Prevention/tabid/73/Default.aspx
Prevention of Prolapse: http://www.mypelvichealth.org/TreatmentPrevention/PelvicOrganProlapse/Prevention/tabid/73/Default.aspx
Both did state that there always is a chance for vaginal prolapse to recur. The good news is that you do have some control, and can work toward minimizing the risk by following recommended guidelines. As Dr. Cornella said in the first link, when they do surgery they try to decrease the need for future repeat surgery.
Did your doctor give you any indication of how likely they think your condition will recur?
Good luck and let us know how you are.
