What is a LABIAPLASTY?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora. The main objective of this operation is to remove excess tissue that protrudes through the outer lips and causes discomfort, pain, and aesthetic concerns. The surgeon can perform labiaplasty using different techniques to address various cosmetic issues. This procedure is requested today more than ever before because it makes women feel more attractive, expands their clothing choices, increases sexual satisfaction, and improves self-esteem.

Labiaplasty Techniques

Trim

This technique focuses on trimming excess tissue to reduce the length of the labia minora. It is a direct excision method that removes a strip of protruding skin. The trim technique helps to eliminate the dark-colored borders of vaginal lips that make many women self-conscious. It also reduces the size of the labia minora and makes them look more youthful.

Wedge

Using this method, the surgeon removes a V-shaped wedge of tissue from the protruding lip(s). It helps to preserve the natural contours of labia minora. The wedge of tissue is cut away, and the edges are stitched together. This approach is suitable for minor corrections.

Combination

As the name suggests, the combination technique includes both trimming and wedge-cutting. It enables precise tailoring of the labial size and shape for each patient. Dr. Solomon trims the protruding skin and removes a wedge of tissue to achieve the desired results. This customized approach allows the surgeon to address multiple cosmetic concerns.

Preparation FOR LABIAPLASTY

During the initial consultation, Dr. Solomon evaluates the patient’s anatomy and discusses their aesthetic goals. He describes different labiaplasty techniques and decides which one of them is the most suitable for the patient’s situation. The surgeon also explains what to expect before, during, and after the operation.

Preparation may involve arranging time off of work, creating a recovery space at home, and planning transportation to and from our. center. Patients are also instructed to stop smoking and avoid certain supplements/medications that can interfere with anesthesia or increase bleeding risks. Clear communication between the patient and Dr. Solomon regarding their goals and expectations is vital for optimal preparation and outcomes.

Labiaplasty Procedure

Anesthesia

Dr. Solomon performs this surgery under general or local anesthesia. The first option puts the patient asleep and blocks all pain signals. The second method is also suitable in many cases because it reduces risks and makes recovery easier.

Removal of Excess Tissue

Excess labial tissue is removed to reshape the anatomy. Common techniques include trimming the protruding edges of the labia minora and cutting a V-shaped wedge. The goal is to remove just enough tissue to achieve an aesthetically pleasing, proportional look.

Wound Closure

After cutting out a V-shaped wedge, the remaining edges of the labia are stitched together with dissolvable sutures. This allows the incisions to heal without the need to remove stitches later.

Post-Surgical Dressings

Soft dressings and ice packs are applied to the vulva after surgery to minimize swelling and discomfort during initial recovery.

Add-On PROCEDURES

CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION

Clitoral hood reduction is a cosmetic procedure that aims to decrease the size of the clitoral hood. Women usually add this surgery to improve sensitivity and increase sexual satisfaction. During clitoral hood reduction, Dr. Solomon shortens the hood by trimming excess tissue. It is a popular choice for women experiencing discomfort or irritation in the intimate zone.

LABIA MAJORPLASTY (RESHAPING OF LABIA MAJORA)

Labia majoraplasty is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the outer vaginal lips. Some women undergo it due to aesthetic concerns or discomfort from chafing. The surgery may involve injecting fat to enlarge the labia majora or trimming tissue to reduce the size. Many patients report positive outcomes in their appearance and self-image after labia majoraplasty.

THERMIVA®

Solomon Cosmetic Center also offers a non-surgical procedure called ThermiVA®, which helps women experience more satisfaction, comfort, and confidence. This procedure delivers controlled heat directly to the genital region to achieve vaginal tightening and rejuvenation. ThermiVA® is safe and does not involve any pain. It can be a perfect add-on for labiaplasty.

Recovery After LABIAPLASTY SURGERY

Immediately after surgery, a short downtime of 24 hours is needed due to the effects of anesthesia, which can make the patient feel tired. It is important to have enough rest and avoid heavy activities for 1-2 weeks. During this period, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and pain, but it can be managed with medication. Women should avoid sexual activity for 4-6 weeks.

Patients can usually resume light activity a couple of days after surgery. Most women return to office work within 10-14 days. If the job involves strenuous physical activities, it is better to take more time to heal before resuming it. The final results are usually visible after 3-6 months of recovery.

Candidates For LABIAPLASTY

Women with enlarged labia on one or both sides can experience discomfort during sexual intercourse and daily activities. Cycling, horseback riding, and wearing tight-fitting clothes become painful. Some women do not have physical discomfort but feel insecure due to the appearance of their labia. Luckily, vaginal rejuvenation procedures can help many patients improve their appearance and comfort levels.
Common candidates for labiaplasty include:

Women with elongated inner labia

This can cause physical discomfort or self-consciousness during intimacy or when wearing certain types of clothing.

Women experiencing physical discomfort, such as chafing

Overly large labia may rub painfully against undergarments or during physical activities.

Women who recently gave birth

Pregnancy and childbirth can sometimes cause changes in labia size and shape.

Older women experiencing age-related changes

Loss of estrogen after menopause may cause labial thinning and elongation.

Younger women with aesthetic concerns

Some young patients seek labiaplasty due to concerns about genital appearance.

Candidates must be in overall good health. They should not have any serious conditions that may increase surgical risks. Common contraindications include heart disease, severe diabetes, blood clotting disorders, and infection in the genital area. Candidates should not be pregnant because hormonal changes may undermine the outcomes of this surgery.

Improved appearance of the vulva

How Much Does
LABIAPLASTY COST?

The price of labiaplasty ranges from $4,000 to $9,000, including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and operation room use. During the initial consultation, Dr. Solomon thoroughly examines the patient and considers all relevant factors to provide an accurate cost estimate. Additionally, we offer flexible financing options to make payments more convenient.

Does Medical Insurance
COVER LABIA REDUCTION?

Labiaplasty is viewed as a cosmetic procedure when done to enhance appearance, boost sexual satisfaction, or increase self-esteem. However, it can be covered by health insurance if deemed medically necessary. To be eligible for reimbursement, patients should have functional issues, frequent rashes, persistent ulcers, and pain during intercourse (dyspareunia).
