Labiaplasty

Dr. J. Anthony Stephens performs labiaplasty as an advanced vaginal rejuvenation procedure to help restore the appearance of the vagina and your feeling of femininity.

About Labiaplasty

Do you feel more and more self-conscious about your vaginal region as you’ve grown older? One of the more noticeable and bothersome indications of aging in women is developing laxity in the labia. This can present not only a cosmetic imperfection, but may even be the cause behind physical discomfort while engaging in certain physical activities or wearing certain outfits. Labiaplasty is one of the most commonly performed procedures to correct an enlarged or elongated labia. This procedure effectively alleviates physical discomfort and achieves a more attractive aesthetic.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for this rejuvenating and empowering procedure are women who are:

Looking for a more symmetrical, youthful labia
Experiencing discomfort during intercourse
Self-conscious of their vaginal aesthetic
Want to refine their feminine contours

What to Expect During Labiaplasty

A local anesthetic is applied to the vaginal area to ensure your comfort during the procedure. During the surgery, the labia minora is minimized in size, keeping it from sagging beneath the labia majora. There are different techniques for the procedure, and the ideal one for you will be determined during your consultation. In general, however, unwanted tissue is removed with a scalpel and the edges are then sutured. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

Recovery

We recommend setting aside some time away from work (typically about one week) as well as physical activities to give yourself adequate time to heal. You may experience mild swelling or bruising in the treated area; these can both be remedied with a cold compress in intervals of 20 minutes. Dr. Stephens may advise avoiding sexual intercourse or using any feminine products for up to 4-6 weeks.

Results

Ultimately results may vary, but immediately after your labiaplasty, you can notice a shorter and more symmetrical labia. Results will continue to reveal themselves as the swelling and bruising subside. Many women have discovered greater relief during intercourse along with wearing specific outfits and exercising.
