What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that reduces and reshapes the labia minora (inner lips of the vagina) and sometimes the labia majora (the outer lips). This surgical technique addresses enlarged or asymmetrical labia, removes excess skin, and can also improve the contour of the clitoral hood for a smoother, more balanced appearance.

A labiaplasty procedure may be performed alone or combined with other vaginal rejuvenation procedures to improve both aesthetic outcomes and physical comfort.

Why Women Choose Labiaplasty

Many women choose labiaplasty surgery for both functional reasons and aesthetic enhancement. Some of the most common concerns include:

Enlarged labia that cause irritation during physical activities

Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse

Difficulty wearing tight clothing due to excess skin

Discomfort during exercise or daily activities

Uneven or asymmetrical labia causing self-consciousness

Interest in improving sexual satisfaction and sexual intimacy

For most patients, labiaplasty helps restore confidence, reduces physical discomfort, and improves both sexual enjoyment and overall self-esteem.

What to Expect from Your Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using either local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of correction and patient preference. The labiaplasty procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, and most patients return home the same day.

Using advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Ferguson carefully trims excess tissue from the labia minora or labia majora, reshaping the area while preserving sensitivity and promoting minimal scarring. If needed, clitoral hood reduction can also be performed to refine the area around the clitoral hood, contributing to overall balance and comfort.

Recovery After Labiaplasty

Most patients experience swelling, mild to moderate pain, and residual swelling for the first few weeks. Dr. Ferguson may prescribe pain medication as needed with detailed post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery.

How Labiaplasty Can Affect Sensation

A common concern is whether labiaplasty affects sensation. When performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon, the procedure is designed to preserve sexual sensation and maintain or improve sexual satisfaction. Many women report that reducing physical issues improves comfort during sexual intercourse and enhances overall sexual enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be scars after labiaplasty?

All surgical procedures carry some risk of scarring. However, qualified surgeons like Dr. Ferguson use advanced techniques to minimize and conceal scars within the natural folds of the vagina. For most patients, scarring becomes barely noticeable over time.

How long is the recovery after labiaplasty surgery?

Recovery usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks for swelling and discomfort to subside, although final results may take a few months to fully develop. Patients typically return to work within a few days and resume sexual activity in about six weeks.

Can labiaplasty affect sensation?

When performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon, labiaplasty surgery should not negatively affect sexual sensation. In fact, many women report improved physical comfort during intimacy after healing.

Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many women choose to combine labiaplasty with other vaginal rejuvenation procedures or cosmetic treatments, such as fat transfer or a mommy makeover, to address multiple concerns in one surgical procedure.

Will labiaplasty results change with aging or future weight fluctuations?

While labiaplasty results are long-lasting, natural changes from aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or childbirth may affect the area over time. Maintaining a stable weight and following post-surgical care guidelines helps preserve your final results and support improved physical comfort for years to come.
