Cosmetic Surgery for the Female Genitalia: Labiaplasty
These days, women often improve their appearance through cosmetic surgery. Sometimes a woman’s perception of the appearance of her vaginal region can have detrimental effects on her life. It can threaten her self-esteem, reduce her sexual desire and excitement, ruin her love life, or cause vaginal discomfort. Many women find that enlarged labia can interfere with bike riding, sexual relations, and even walking. Because of this problem, many women are now seeking cosmetic vaginal surgery to recreate sexual excitement, restore self-esteem and rejuvenate their love lives. Vaginal reconstruction is referred to as vaginoplasty (vaginal rejuvenation and tightening) and labia surgery is called labiaplasty (labia reduction and beautification). These are both commonly requested procedures by women. Unlike vaginoplasty, which is often performed by gynecologists, labiaplasty is typically performed by a plastic surgeon and can be done alone or in combination with other common plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures such as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or reduction, abdominoplasty, or liposculpture.
Cosmetic Vaginal Surgeries
All cosmetic vaginal surgeries are performed by our board-certified-plastic-surgeons who are sympathetic to women’s needs and understand what a delicate subject cosmetic vaginal surgery can be. Their experience, knowledge, and sensitivity will make you feel comfortable in undergoing vaginal cosmetic surgery, whether it be labiaplasty, labia reduction or labia beautification. The labiaplasty technique involves reshaping and reducing the size of the labia minora, which can often protrude in an unsightly fashion. The labiaplasty technique is performed with the patients either completely asleep or with sedation in the form of “twilight zone.” Post operative labiaplasty care involves keeping the area clean and avoiding any activities that could irritate the area for about two weeks after the labiaplasty. Stitches are either removed after one week or are the dissolving type that will be gone after several weeks post operative labiaplasty. The labiaplasty technique is safe and has been proven to have excellent results with imperceptible scars. Post operative labiaplasty pain is quite minimal and most women are able to return to work in a matter of days. Cosmetic surgery comes in many forms, and labiaplasty is one of those procedures that can make a world of difference for many women. Enlarged labia is a problem that many women suffer with for most of their lives, unaware that there is a simple solution that can give them a renewed sense of self-esteem and comfort with their bodies.
