Expert Procedure by Dr. Gehaan Dsouza
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora and labia majora - the skin surrounding the vagina. It can also correct asymmetry in the labia minora. Factors like childbirth or genetics may contribute to labial changes.
Benefits of Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is ideal for patients with excess skin and tissue in the labia. Dr. Dsouza carefully plans the excision of excess tissue before and during the operation. Liposuction may also be used to remove fatty tissue in the Mons Pubis area for a smooth contour.
The Labiaplasty Procedure
Dr. Dsouza performs labiaplasty as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia. The incisions are hidden and discussed in detail prior to surgery. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours to complete.
Recovery After Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty requires moderate recovery time. Most patients need about 1 week before returning to normal activities. Exercise and lifting restrictions will be discussed during the pre-operative visit.
