Labiaplasty
Conveniently located to serve Boston, Cambridge, Peabody, and Manchester
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore, Dr. Anoush Hadaegh, a board-certified plastic surgeon, provides patients with expert care and natural-looking results for cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. One of the treatments offered is labiaplasty, a procedure designed to improve the size, shape, and symmetry of the labia for both aesthetic and functional purposes. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking relief from discomfort caused by excess or asymmetrical labial tissue or for those looking to enhance their confidence with a more balanced appearance.
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and/or labia majora (outer vaginal lips). It is often sought by women who experience discomfort due to excess tissue, irritation during physical activity, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their labia.
Here’s a breakdown of the two primary components
Labia Minora Reduction: This technique focuses on reducing the size of the inner vaginal lips, which can cause discomfort, chafing, or interfere with certain activities like exercise or sexual intercourse. By carefully trimming excess tissue, Dr. Hadaegh can create a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing contour.
Labia Majora Reduction or Enhancement: For those seeking changes to the outer vaginal lips, Dr. Hadaegh can remove excess skin for a more youthful appearance or, in some cases, enhance volume using fat transfer for improved symmetry and balance.
This procedure can provide both cosmetic and functional benefits, leading to a more proportionate and comfortable result. It’s ideal for patients who have experienced changes to the labia due to aging, childbirth, or genetics, and are looking for a solution to improve both their confidence and comfort.
Labiaplasty Preparation
Before your labiaplasty, Dr. Hadaegh will thoroughly review your medical history, discuss any medications you’re taking (such as blood thinners), and perform a physical examination to assess your unique needs. He will take the time to discuss your goals and expectations, ensuring that the procedure is tailored to provide the best possible results.
In preparation for surgery, Dr. Hadaegh may recommend avoiding certain medications and stopping the use of tobacco and alcohol to minimize the risk of complications. It’s important to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as you will not be able to do so yourself.
The Labiaplasty Procedure
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore, labiaplasty is performed with precision and care, often under local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Hadaegh will carefully reshape the labial tissue to achieve the desired outcome, ensuring minimal scarring and a natural appearance. The incisions are typically made along the natural contours of the labia to conceal them as much as possible, resulting in smoother, more proportionate labia.
The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the surgery, and patients can typically return home the same day with post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Recovery after labiaplasty involves some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with medication prescribed by Dr. Hadaegh. Most patients can return to light activities within a week but should avoid strenuous exercise and sexual activity for four to six weeks to ensure proper healing.
Wearing loose, comfortable clothing and following the provided aftercare instructions are crucial to minimizing discomfort during recovery. Dr. Hadaegh will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure the best possible outcome.
