Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the shortening or reshaping of the labia, the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. It is performed to address concerns such as enlarged or elongated labia, asymmetry, or sagging skin.

The labiaplasty procedure involves the removal or reshaping of excess tissue in the labia minora or labia majora. It can be performed using a scalpel or laser, depending on the surgeon’s preference and the individual’s specific needs. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia for optimal comfort.

Labiaplasty is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. Like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in sensation. Our skilled surgeons prioritize patient safety and will provide detailed information about the procedure’s potential risks and expected outcomes.

After labiaplasty, there is a recovery period during which you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Our experienced medical team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including proper hygiene practices and pain management techniques, to support your recovery and ensure optimal healing. It is important to follow these instructions and attend follow-up appointments for proper monitoring of your progress.

While some scarring is inevitable, our skilled surgeons strive to minimize scarring by using advanced surgical techniques and placing incisions in discreet locations. Over time, the scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Our team will provide you with scar care instructions to promote optimal healing.

The duration of the labiaplasty procedure can vary depending on the extent of the correction needed and the specific technique used. On average, the procedure typically takes between one to two hours to complete.

Labiaplasty is performed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper post-operative care.

Labiaplasty is primarily focused on improving the appearance of the labia and does not typically impact sexual sensation. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is a potential for temporary changes in sensation during the healing process. These changes are usually temporary and resolve as the tissues heal.

The recovery time after labiaplasty varies for each individual, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, avoid strenuous activities, and maintain proper hygiene during the healing process.

Yes, labiaplasty can be combined with other procedures, such as fat transfer to the labia or other areas, depending on your specific needs and goals. Your surgeon will evaluate your unique situation and discuss the potential options for combination procedures during your consultation.
