Understanding Labiaplasty in West Des Moines

Many women experience physical discomfort or insecurity due to enlarged or elongated labia. These concerns, commonly arising from genetics and childbirth, often remain unaddressed due to personal hesitation.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty, also known as external vaginal rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips), labia majora (outer vaginal lips), or both. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Carlisle offers personalized techniques to achieve proportional and symmetrical results.

Benefits of Labiaplasty

• Enhanced comfort during physical activities
• Improved confidence in fitted clothing and swimwear
• Reduced physical irritation during exercise
• Better personal hygiene
• Decreased risk of urinary tract infections

Labiaplasty Recovery in West Des Moines

Most patients can return to desk work within one to two weeks. Dissolvable sutures typically heal within four weeks. Sexual activity must be avoided until complete incision healing, which generally takes approximately six weeks.

Procedure Customization

Dr. Carlisle provides comprehensive consultations to discuss individual goals and determine the most appropriate labiaplasty technique for each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic objectives.

Patient Considerations

Labiaplasty can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a comprehensive mommy makeover, allowing patients to address multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously.
