What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces or reshapes the labia, the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening.
The labia majora are the outer folds, while the labia minora are the inner folds. During labiaplasty, your surgeon sculpts either or both to create the balanced and beautiful look you desire.
Reasons for Labiaplasty
Some of the common reasons that women opt for labiaplasty are:
- Physical Discomfort: Excess labial tissue can hang down uncomfortably, causing discomfort during physical activities such as exercise, intercourse, or even when sitting for extended periods.
- Hygiene Concerns: Extra labial tissue can make maintaining proper hygiene challenging. This may lead to incomplete cleansing and an increased risk of infections.
- Cosmetic Concerns: Some women feel self-conscious about the size or shape of their labia. They may feel their labia are too large, long, deflated, or unusually shaped, leading to poor confidence during intimacy or when looking in the mirror.
- Post-Childbirth Changes: The labia can change shape after childbirth, leading to discomfort or dissatisfaction with its appearance. For many women, a labiaplasty represents a return to normal and may be part of reclaiming their pre-baby body.
There are no wrong or right reasons to choose this surgery as long as you’re doing it for yourself and your wishes and goals.
Labiaplasty Techniques
During your consultation, Dr. Fostyk listens attentively to your concerns and discusses your goals for the procedure. We understand that choosing labiaplasty is a deeply personal decision, and we ensure that you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Dr. Fostyk explains the details of the procedure, what to expect during recovery, and how the surgery can help you achieve your desired results.
Labiaplasty can involve both reduction and enlargement techniques, depending on your goals.
- Reduction Techniques: Excess tissue from the labia minora is removed using a trimming or wedge method. These techniques create a natural, balanced appearance.
- Enlargement Techniques: For patients seeking to enhance the labia majora, fat can be harvested from another area of the body and injected into the labia, or fillers like hyaluronic acid may be used for a plumping effect.
