Meet Dr. Dahlia Rice
Dr. Dahlia Rice is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over a decade of surgical experience and specialized training in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.
Her approach to labiaplasty is:
- Discreet and judgment-free
- Precision-focused, preserving natural anatomy
- Customized to each patient
At DMR Aesthetics Chicago, consultations are completely confidential, and every patient is guided through the process with clarity and respect.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for labiaplasty if you:
- Experience discomfort or irritation from excess tissue
- Notice asymmetry or elongation of the labia
- Feel self-conscious in clothing or intimate settings
- Are in good overall health
Important: Not every patient needs surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Rice will determine whether labiaplasty is appropriate or if alternative treatments may be a better option for your goals.
Types of Labiaplasty Procedures
Labiaplasty is not one-size-fits-all. The approach is tailored based on your anatomy and goals.
Options may include:
Labia Minora Reduction
Removes excess inner labial tissue to create a more refined, balanced contour.
Labia Majora Reduction or Enhancement
Adjusts the outer labia to improve overall proportion and symmetry.
Clitoral Hood Reduction (if needed)
Refines the surrounding tissue while maintaining sensitivity and function.
The goal is always: a natural appearance with preserved function.

How the Procedure Is Performed
Labiaplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure.
- Local anesthesia or light sedation for comfort
- Precise tissue removal using advanced techniques
- Careful focus on symmetry and minimal scarring
The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
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 satisfaction.
Recovery and Downtime
Recovery is generally straightforward but requires proper care.
What to expect:
- Swelling and mild discomfort during the first 1–2 weeks
- Limited activity initially
- Avoid sexual activity for approximately 4–6 weeks
- Full healing occurs over several months
Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities within about a week.
Results: What Patients Notice
Patients often report:
- Improved comfort during workouts and daily activities
- Less irritation and chafing
- Increased confidence in clothing and intimate settings
Results are long-lasting, as excess tissue is permanently removed.

Labiaplasty is generally safe, but it is important to understand the potential risks before moving forward with surgery.
- Swelling and bruising
- Infection (rare)
- Changes in sensitivity, which are usually temporary
- Asymmetry or the possible need for revision
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon can significantly reduce these risks.
Dr. Rice reviews all risks thoroughly during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
Labiaplasty vs Non-Surgical Options
Some patients ask about non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation options.
While certain treatments may improve skin quality, they do not remove excess tissue.
For structural concerns, labiaplasty remains the most effective option.
