Labiaplasty

Q: How do I choose a surgeon for my labiaplasty?

An experienced surgeon will remove excess tissue and consider the aesthetics as well. This ensures that scarring is minimal, and that color, contour and symmetry looks and feels natural.

Q: Will labiaplasty cause insensitivity?

As with any surgery, there may be numbness in the vaginal area after the procedure is completed. This is temporary as the skin and vaginal lips heal. In regards to sensitivity, it is important to understand that labia rejuvenation affects, for the most part, the vaginal lips only. Sensitivity is served by the clitoris. A skilled cosmetic surgeon that specializes in labiaplasty will work around this area so that a loss of sensitivity does not occur.

Q: Will labiplasty improve intercourse?

Labiaplasty, when performed by a skilled surgeon, will only improve sexual intercourse. In many cases, this is because the excess skin and tissue that may have gotten in the way during sex before will now be removed. The clitoral region will be protected and the sensory nerves preserved so that sexual intercourse is not impacted in a negative way.

Q: Should I have labiaplasty before or after pregnancy?

In most cases, it is recommended that women wait to have labia rejuvenation until after all pregnancies are complete. However, if having enlarged labia is bothersome and causes physical symptoms and emotional hardship, then this surgery can most definitely be performed before a planned pregnancy. If the results of the surgery are compromised due to a post-surgical pregnancy, a second surgery can be discussed.

Labiaplasty in Sarasota, Florida

Labiaplasty (also called labial rejuvenation, labia reduction, or labioplasty) is a procedure which recontours or reduces the size of the labia minora. Enlarged or uneven labia minora can occur naturally with hormonal changes, or after stretching from multiple childbirths or sexual intercourse. This can cause difficulty with hygiene, irritation, and discomfort. Women who visit our Sarasota plastic surgery center for labia reduction often complain of discomfort while performing activities such as biking, jogging, or sexual intercourse. Fortunately, with a simple outpatient procedure, women can regain their confidence and reduce their discomfort. While this is a personal complaint that can be difficult to discuss, when you visit us for labiaplasty the physicians and staff at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center will provide a very professional and private consultation to address your concerns.

How is Labiaplasty Performed?

Women who are considering labiaplasty should consult with a qualified cosmetic surgeon. Skilled surgeons use aesthetic reshaping techniques so that the labia are not only reduced in size, but also the nerves are protected in the process so that sexual feeling is not compromised. A surgeon with experience will preserve the natural color and contour and create a result that looks visually appealing with minimal to no scarring.

The most common approach surgeons take to perform labiaplasty is to reshape the inner folds of the labia. The surgeon will carefully work to reshape and reconstruct the labia so that they meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. Dissolvable sutures are used to close the incision. Some patients may also be concerned about the size of the labia majora, or outer folds of skin. This can be improved with an additional surgical incision or may involve fat grafting to restore lost volume.

What can I expect during and after surgery?

Labiaplasty typically takes between 1-2 hours to complete, depending on how complex the surgical case is. It is performed under general anesthesia at our Sarasota surgical facility and does not require an overnight stay. Women who undergo labia rejuvenation will need to avoid any activity that may cause swelling and bleeding, such as exercise, sexual activity, douching, and the use of tampons. These activities can be resumed slowly around 4-6 weeks post-op. Women find that the results of this procedure look so natural that their self-confidence and self-image are improved drastically.
