Labiaplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address both functional and cosmetic concerns related to the labia. North Beach Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive labiaplasty services for patients in Alexandria, Virginia, helping women improve comfort and self-confidence.

What is Labiaplasty?

A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora (inner vaginal lips). This treatment helps women experiencing physical discomfort, such as:

• Excess labial tissue causing friction during activities
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Discomfort while exercising
• Self-consciousness about genital appearance

Surgical Techniques

North Beach Plastic Surgery offers two primary labiaplasty techniques:

• Trim Method:
• Wedge Method:

Procedure Details

The outpatient labiaplasty procedure typically takes one to two hours. Surgeons use dissolvable stitches to close incisions, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal healing.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately seven days. Initial swelling and bruising are normal, with final results becoming apparent within two to three months. Most patients report significant improvement in comfort and self-confidence.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While labiaplasty is generally safe, potential risks include temporary numbness, minimal sensation changes, and standard surgical complications. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these risks.
