Whitney M.

I was also thinking of going with a different place until I met Dr. Kayastha. Within 5 minutes of meeting him, I knew he was the one. He has an amazing bedside manner plus he was honest and straight forward from the beginning. He spent quite a bit of time with me explaining everything and didn’t send me to meet with his office staff to explain important details about the surgery like the other 2 places. I never felt like he was rushing with me to see another patient. My result were amazing and I would highly recommend Dr. Kayastha. Once you meet him, you won’t want to go anywhere else!!

Ann T.

Dr. Kayastha was very helpful since the beginning of the consultation, explaining every detail of the surgery all the way to the very last one, I would recommend anyone looking for his services and his staff are really nice and kind! Very happy will do all over again if needed.

What is Labiaplasty Vaginal Rejuvenation?  

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to alter the size or shape of the labia minora (inner lips of the vulva). The size and shape of the labia minora can affect sexual intercourse and daily activities, as well as be a source of insecurity. Labiaplasty seeks to address all of these issues by reducing the size of the labia minora and creating better symmetry.

Who is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty Surgery?

Ideal candidates for labiaplasty experience an enlarged or asymmetrical labia caused by genetics or changes associated with aging and childbirth. Ideal candidates for labiaplasty include:

  • Individuals who experience discomfort during intercourse.
  • Those who find wearing tight clothing uncomfortable.
  • People who experience discomfort or chafing during exercise.
  • Women who are self conscious about the appearance of their labia
  • Candidates in overall good health.
  • Those with no conflicting medical conditions or prescriptions.
  • Individuals who have experienced vaginal trauma during labor.

Does the size or shape of your labia bother you because of the way they look or cause other physical issues? If so, you could benefit from labiaplasty.

Customize Your Labiaplasty Procedure

Different surgical techniques can be used during labiaplasty to change the appearance of the labia while maintaining function and sensation. Dr. Kayastha will evaluate the labia majora, labia minora, and surrounding labial tissue before recommending a personalized surgical approach. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, aesthetic labia minora reduction, aesthetic vaginal labioplasty, or labiaplasty minora reduction may be performed to address physical discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or self consciousness.

Labiaplasty Plastic Surgery

Labiaplasty is a form of labial reduction that removes or reshapes excess labial tissue. It may benefit patients with enlarged labia minora, asymmetry, irritation, or too much tissue that interferes with exercise, clothing, or sexual intimacy. With the proper surgical expertise, a skilled cosmetic surgeon can tailor the procedure to the patient’s anatomy and personal goals.

Labiaplasty

Techniques and Customization

  • Trim Technique (Edge Technique)

    The trim procedure, also called an edge resection, follows the natural border of the labia. Dr. Kayastha removes excess tissue to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the labia minora. Scarring is concealed along the new edge, making this technique especially helpful for patients who want to remove hyperpigmentation or irregular tissue along the border.

  • Wedge Technique

    The wedge procedure involves removing a triangle-shaped section of tissue while preserving the labia’s natural border. This technique may be recommended when only the central portion of the labia is enlarged. In some cases, an extended central wedge resection may be used to remove additional tissue while maintaining a natural contour.

Labiaplasty Results

After surgery and recovery, patients may experience less irritation and greater comfort during exercise, clothing wear, and intimacy. Many women also report improved confidence and sexual satisfaction after addressing concerns about the size or appearance of their labia. Results vary based on anatomy, healing, and the technique used.

Recovering from Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty may be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or another form of anesthesia selected for the patient. As the anesthesia wears off, mild pain, swelling, and tenderness may develop around the surgical area. Dr. Kayastha and the surgical team will provide instructions for bathing, bathroom use, incision care, and pain control to protect the surgical wound and reduce the risk of infection.

Patients may receive prescription medication, including pain medication or antibiotics, and should take it only as directed. Dr. Kayastha may also recommend stopping certain medications before or after surgery to reduce the risk of minor bleeding. Bruising, swelling, and temporary discoloration are common during the initial healing period.

Most patients relax at home for two to three days and resume many daily activities within two to four days, depending on their comfort. Exercise and strenuous activity may remain restricted for four to six weeks. Patients can generally resume intercourse after about six weeks, once Dr. Kayastha confirms that healing is complete.

You can exercise in 3 weeks and have intercourse in 6 weeks following your procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a labiaplasty require general anesthesia?

Labiaplasty can be performed with either local anesthesia or general anesthesia. This largely depends on your specific needs and what you are most comfortable with.

Does labiaplasty cause vaginal dryness?

Vaginal dryness is a very rare side effect that should not occur when the operation is performed by an experienced surgeon.

Will a labiaplasty help with yeast infections?

Since longer labia can be one cause of yeast infections because they trap moisture, a labiaplasty may help reduce the occurrence of yeast infections.

Why would you get a labiaplasty?

Women often opt for labiaplasty because of discomfort or health concerns that come with long, protruding labia. This can include dryness, itchiness, and chafing.

Is a labiaplasty covered by insurance?

Labiaplasty is not covered by insurance unless the procedure is deemed medically necessary.

Will I lose feeling if I have a labiaplasty?

A labiaplasty should have no effect on sensation once healing is complete.

Does a labiaplasty affect birth?

Labiaplasty should not result in any risks for giving birth. However, some patients choose to wait until they are done having children before undergoing a labiaplasty so that they can be sure to enjoy their results long-term.

Can you walk after a labiaplasty?

Although you can walk after a labiaplasty, it is recommended you only walk minimally for the first couple of days after your surgery.

What are the risks of a labiaplasty?

As with all surgeries, there is the risk of bleeding, swelling, and scarring. While these symptoms may gradually go away, there is also the slight risk that you will lose sensitivity and that too much tissue is removed.

How do you know if you need a labiaplasty?

If you experience discomfort, such as chaffing and irritation, when you wear a bathing suit or tight clothes, a labiaplasty might be beneficial. Another sign is if your labia is causing discomfort during sex - longer labia can get sucked into the vagina during intercourse which can result in tears on the vulva.

Will a labiaplasty leave scars?

After a labiaplasty, any resulting scar tissue should be well concealed within the natural contours of the body.

How much does a labiaplasty cost in Albany, NY?

The cost of your labiaplasty will depend on your unique circumstances. A consultation is needed to get an accurate cost estimate. See our pricing page for average costs for the procedure you are interested in. We offer financing (kplasticsurgery.com/resources/payment-options/) to help pay for your procedure if needed.

Will I have a scar? What kind of scar will I have?

Any time the skin is cut to perform surgery there must be a scar. The length of your scar will depend on the type of surgery and how extensive it is. Dr. Kayastha is committed to using the shortest scars possible while still achieving the results you want. Dr. Kayastha takes great care to ensure that you will have the best scar possible. Surgery is performed precisely and gently. After surgery multiple techniques including taping, silicone sheeting, scar cream, massage and lasers may be used to optimize the appearance of your scar.
