What is Labiaplasty?
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.

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:

- Women who are self conscious about the appearance of their labia
- Candidates in overall good health.

CUSTOMIZATION
-
Trim Technique (Edge Technique)
The trim technique follows the natural border of the labia. Your surgeon Dr. Kayastha will remove excess tissue to change the size of the labia minora and improve shape and symmetry. With this method, scarring will be concealed within the new edge of the labia. This technique is preferred for patients seeking to remove hyperpigmentation along the edge of the labia minora.
-
Wedge Technique
The wedge technique involves your surgeon removing a triangle-shaped piece of tissue from the labia. This preserves the natural border of the labia while still reducing the amount of tissue present. This technique may be best if only a part of the labia is enlarged.
Labiaplasty Results
After labiaplasty surgery and recovery, patients can expect improvement in physical discomfortal caused by large labia. Those that were self conscious and unhappy with the appearance of their labia experience increased confidence and self esteem with their new appearance.
Recovering from Labiaplasty
Dr. Kayastha will provide detailed instructions on bathing and bathroom use post-operation to reduce initial pain and prevent infection. Most women will relax at home for two to three days following the procedure. Pain medications and antibiotics will be prescribed immediately after your procedure– take these as directed to avoid possible complications. Discomfort may be present for a few days following your procedure. Patients can resume most daily activities after 2-4 days, depending on when the pain subsides. Swelling peaks within the first two weeks. During this time lie down as much as possible. Patients return to the gym in three weeks and can resume intercourse in six weeks.
You can exercise in 3 weeks and have intercourse in 6 weeks following your procedure.
