Labiaplasty
Labial Reduction & Reshaping in Bellaire & River Oaks, TX
Improve Appearance & Reduce Discomfort
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed on the labia major (the outer lips of the vagina) and/or the labia minor (the inner lips of the vagina). It is used to reduce the size of labia that are too large, and to reshape labia that are uneven, improving their appearance and reducing associated discomfort.
A relatively minor surgical procedure, it is performed for cosmetic, hygienic, pain-relief and/or functional reasons by qualified plastic surgeons or specialized medical professionals.
Customized Care: Labiaplasty can be performed alone or in conjunction with procedures such as vaginoplasty and liposuction to fully address your aesthetic and functional goals.
Ideal Candidates
Candidates for labiaplasty may not like the appearance of their labia, or may be experiencing discomfort that interferes with their daily life. Candidates should be in good overall health to ensure safe healing.
The Surgical Process
Labiaplasty is generally performed just after the patient has had her period. The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, and most patients return home the same day.
Recovery Expectations
Post-labiaplasty, most patients have swelling, and mild-to-moderate pain, for which painkillers are prescribed.
Patients typically return to work in 2 to 4 days, and are able to use tampons or resume sexual activity in 6 weeks.
