What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgery to correct the labia minora (inner lips) size and shape and, in some instances, the labia majora (outer lips). Women choose labiaplasty for various reasons, including discomfort during physical activities, self-consciousness, or irritation from clothing.
Am I a Candidate for Labiaplasty?
You may be a good candidate if you experience discomfort, chafing, or aesthetic concerns about your labia. You should be overall healthy, have realistic expectations, and get the go-ahead from a board-certified plastic surgeon.
What Are the Emotional Benefits of Labiaplasty?
Beyond the physical benefits, many women report increased confidence and self-esteem after labiaplasty. Feeling more comfortable in your body can enhance relationships and give you a sense of empowerment.
Does Labiaplasty Affect Sensitivity?
When performed by an experienced surgeon, labiaplasty typically does not affect sensitivity. The procedure focuses on the labia, not the clitoris or other sensitive areas.
What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery usually takes about one to two weeks for most daily activities, but complete healing can take up to six weeks. Swelling and minor discomfort are common in the first few days, and your surgeon will provide post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Labiaplasty is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgical discomfort can typically be managed with prescribed medications and rest.
Are There Risks Associated with Labiaplasty?
As with any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks, but these are typically rare with the right surgeon like Dr. Walker. During your consultation, Dr. Walker will discuss any risks with you.
Will I Have Scars?
Any surgical procedure can leave scars, but labiaplasty scars are usually minimal and well-hidden in the natural folds of the skin.
