Indications for Labiaplasty

Surgical Techniques

Procedure Overview

Labiaplasty is performed under sedation with a board-certified anesthesiologist. Dr. Stark administers long-acting local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Two primary techniques are utilized: The Wedge and The Trim techniques.

The Wedge Technique

Ideal for asymmetrical labia or significant excess tissue, this technique involves removing a wedge-shaped tissue section from the middle third of the vaginal area. The top and bottom sections are then carefully sutured, resulting in extremely natural-looking outcomes.

The Trim Technique

Recommended for uneven or discolored labia, this method removes excess tissue along the labia edges, sculpting a more aesthetically pleasing shape and size.

Recovery and Expectations

Labiaplasty is considered a minor procedure with a relatively quick recovery. Patients can expect:

• Approximately two weeks of healing time
• Temporary pain, swelling, and discoloration
• Avoidance of sexual activity and swimming for six weeks
• Resumption of normal daily activities around two weeks post-surgery
