What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces or reshapes the labia. The labia consists of two parts:

  • Labia majora (outer lips): These are the larger, fleshy folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening, which are covered by pubic hair after puberty.
  • Labia minora (inner lips): These are the smaller folds of skin that protect the opening of the urethra and vagina.

During labiaplasty, excess tissue may be removed from the labia minora to reduce or reshape its size. Alternatively, a filler material or fat may be injected into the labia to enlarge them.

Reasons for Labiaplasty

There are various reasons why someone may choose to undergo labiaplasty, ranging from medical and physical issues to cosmetic concerns.

  • Some people experience physical discomfort due to enlarged labia, which may cause irritation or pain during activities like exercise, bike riding, or sexual intercourse. Excess labial tissue can make hygiene more difficult and increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Labiaplasty can alleviate these concerns by reducing the size of the labia and improving overall comfort.

  • Others may opt for labiaplasty for cosmetic reasons, such as reducing asymmetry (when one side of the labia is larger or shaped differently than the other) or improving the overall appearance of the genital area. This procedure can help boost confidence and improve sexual well-being, especially if someone feels self-conscious about the look of their labia.

Who Is a Good Candidate For Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is suitable for individuals in the Washington, D.C. area who experience physical discomfort or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their labia. Most candidates are between the ages of 18 and 50, though the procedure may be considered for younger or older individuals, depending on their specific circumstances. It is important to wait until after pregnancy and childbirth to undergo the procedure, as these can change the appearance of the labia.

Factors That May Affect the Need for Labiaplasty

Several factors may lead to the enlargement of the labia, including:

  • Puberty or hormonal changes
  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Genetics

What Happens During Labiaplasty?

The procedure typically involves the following steps:

  • Consultation with Dr. Chopra: Before undergoing labiaplasty, it is important to consult with your surgeon to discuss your goals, expectations, and potential risks. Dr. Chopra will guide you through the options available to meet your specific needs.
  • Anesthesia: Depending on the complexity of the surgery, the procedure is performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
  • Surgical Techniques: Depending on your goals, there are two main approaches to labiaplasty:
  • Trim Procedure: The surgeon removes excess tissue from the outer edge of the labia minora so that it is even with or inside the labia majora.
  • Wedge Procedure: A wedge of tissue is removed from the inner part of the labia minora, preserving the natural, wrinkled edge.
  • Recovery: After the procedure, the surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for the surgical area. Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter medications.

What to Expect After Labiaplasty

After surgery, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most individuals can return to work within a few days, but activities like cycling, running, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Full recovery may take up to four to six months, and the final results will be visible once the swelling completely subsides.

They offer real solutions, they do not just throw all procedures at me and they donā€™t play off my insecurities to get more $$ out of me.
