Labiaplasty is primarily performed to address aesthetic concerns and improve the comfort and functionality of the genital area. While every patient is unique, in most cases, labiaplasty does not significantly impact sexual sensation and can actually enhance it by reducing discomfort or self-consciousness during intimate activities. It is important to have a thorough discussion with your surgeon about your specific goals and concerns to ensure the best possible outcome for your individual situation.

What is labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape or resize the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips) of the female genitalia. It can be performed to address concerns related to aesthetic appearance, discomfort, or functional issues, and involves the removal of excess tissue or reshaping of the labia to achieve the desired results.

How is labiaplasty performed?
Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s preference. The surgical technique involves carefully removing excess tissue, reshaping the labia, and suturing the incisions to achieve a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance while ensuring minimal scarring and preserving natural sensation.

What is the recovery time for labiaplasty?
The recovery time for labiaplasty varies from patient to patient, but typically, it involves a few days of rest and limited physical activity. Most patients can expect to resume normal daily activities within a week or two, while more strenuous activities, such as exercise or sexual intercourse, may need to be avoided for several weeks to allow for proper healing.

As with any surgical procedure, labiaplasty carries some risks and potential complications.

How long do the results of labiaplasty last?
The results of labiaplasty are typically long-lasting, providing permanent improvement in the appearance and function of the labia. However, it’s important to note that natural aging and certain life events such as childbirth can affect the results over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight, as well as following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, can help prolong the benefits of the procedure.

What is the cost of labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is typically considered an elective cosmetic procedure, and as such, it is generally not covered by insurance. However, it’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand their specific policies and coverage options. In some cases, if labiaplasty is performed for medical reasons, such as relieving physical discomfort or addressing functional issues, there may be a possibility of insurance coverage. Your plastic surgeon can assist you in navigating the insurance process and provide guidance on coverage eligibility.
