Causes for the Labiaplasty Procedure
Beyond the cosmetic benefits, women may choose labia surgery for various reasons. Some seek comfort in wearing tight clothing, while others desire increased confidence in their body appearance. The procedure can enhance intimacy and alleviate discomfort caused by labial tissues. It’s vital to openly discuss concerns with your doctor to ensure they understand your needs and guide you toward the desired results.

The Labiaplasty Surgery Procedure
Labiaplasty is a outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, typically lasts about an hour, contingent on the patient’s surgical requirements.
Dr. Dahlia Rice performs labiaplasty by excising excess labial tissue, utilizing two primary techniques: the trim and wedge methods. The trim method involves removing excess labial skin from the outer edge, enhancing a pinker appearance. However, it may pose a higher risk of decreased sensitivity.
Conversely, the wedge method preserves the natural shape of labia by removing a v-shaped wedge and suturing the edges. Although it maintains the outer edges’ natural appearance, there’s a potential for increased wound separation during recovery.
During the consultation, Dr. Rice guides patients in choosing the appropriate method tailored to their anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.
Labia Majora Enhancement
Enhancing the outer labia (labia majora) through fat transfer can add fullness, achieving a more proportionate appearance in relation to the inner labia (labia minora).
Labia Majora Reduction
Excessive or redundant labia majora (outer lips), often coupled with a prominent mons pubis, can result in unwelcome fullness or visibility in clothing, prompting the need for reduction through liposuction.
Labia Minora Reduction
Reduction of the inner labia (labia minora) may be performed to alleviate existing discomfort or address prominent darkened edges that may develop after pregnancy or with age.
Other Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedures
Labiaplasty may include complementary genital rejuvenation procedures like vaginoplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and G-spot enhancement.
Dr. Rice will tailor the optimal treatment plan to align with your unique goals and expectations. She will comprehensively discuss various treatment options, providing you with the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Labiaplasty Revision
Labiaplasty revisions address dissymmetry, “dog-ear,”
scars, or irregularities. Re-operations correct entirely unsatisfactory outcomes. Minor revisions, often by the original surgeon, are done under local anesthesia with minimal recovery. Re-operations are best performed by an experienced specialist, usually incurring a fee greater than the original surgery due to complexity.
In cases of “botched” labiaplasty, surgical labia reconstruction is challenging, especially with over-removal. General gynecologists lacking specific plastic and cosmetic gynecology training may contribute to such outcomes. However, sexual medicine practitioners can offer alternative approaches, including therapy and hormone gels, for ongoing sexual and aesthetic satisfaction.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Expect some swelling and discomfort post-surgery, manageable with OTC medication or prescription pain relief. If discomfort persists, contact your surgeon. Apply a cold compress or icepack for pain and swelling relief on a 20-minutes-on/20-minutes-off schedule. Mild pain or tenderness typically lasts a few days.
Dr. Rice may prescribe oral or topical antibiotics to prevent infection. Opt for loose-fitting attire to avoid friction and promote optimal healing during recovery. Minor bleeding may occur for about a week. Use a pad to manage and absorb this slight bleeding.
