Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of the labia minora (the inner lips of the vulva) or the labia majora (the outer lips of the vulva). It is commonly performed to address discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness caused by enlarged or asymmetrical labia, restoring both aesthetics and function to the genital area.
Good candidates for labiaplasty are individuals who are bothered by the appearance or discomfort of their labia and desire to improve their genital aesthetics and function. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. During your consultation, our plastic surgeon will assess your candidacy and discuss your goals to determine if labiaplasty is right for you.
During a labiaplasty procedure, our plastic surgeon will carefully trim away excess tissue from the labia minora or labia majora to achieve the desired size and shape. The incisions are then meticulously closed with dissolvable sutures. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation and can often be completed in the office setting.
While incisions are necessary for labiaplasty, our plastic surgeon takes care to place them in discreet locations to minimize their visibility. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable, especially with proper scar management techniques. Most patients find that the improved appearance and comfort of their labia outweigh the presence of scars.
Recovery from labiaplasty is usually relatively quick and straightforward. Patients may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the days following surgery, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. Most individuals are able to resume normal activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise and sexual activity should be avoided for several weeks.
The results of labiaplasty are long-lasting, but factors such as aging and childbirth can affect the appearance of the labia over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding activities that may cause trauma to the genital area can help prolong the results of the procedure. Many patients are satisfied with their improved genital aesthetics and comfort for many years following surgery.
Like any surgical procedure, labiaplasty carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, asymmetry, and poor wound healing. Our plastic surgeon will thoroughly discuss these risks with you during your consultation and provide you with information on how to minimize the likelihood of complications.
