Advanced Labiaplasty Procedures in Los Angeles, CA | Dolores Kent, MD

Understanding Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a specialized cosmetic gynecological procedure designed to contour and reshape the labia - either the outer lips (labia majora) or inner lips (labia minora). The surgical technique allows precise reshaping to meet individual aesthetic and functional goals. Typically performed under local anesthesia, the outpatient procedure enables patients to return home shortly after treatment.

Procedure Overview

• Precise contouring of vaginal external tissues
• Customizable reshaping techniques
• Outpatient surgical procedure
• Performed under local anesthesia

Candidates for labiaplasty include women experiencing various labial concerns such as:

• Uneven or asymmetrical labia
• Enlarged labial tissues
• Post-childbirth structural changes
• Discomfort during physical activities
• Aesthetic self-consciousness

Procedure Duration and Comfort

Labiaplasty procedures range from 45 minutes to 3 hours, depending on individual requirements. Patient comfort is prioritized through local anesthesia and oral medications to minimize any potential discomfort during the process.

Recovery and Aftercare in Los Angeles

Post-procedure recovery typically involves:

• Initial one-week bed rest recommendation

Potential Complementary Procedures
