Female Genital Rejuvenation Labiaplasty | La Jolla, CA | Daniel Brown MD

Understanding Labiaplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

An enlarged or asymmetrical labia can cause physical discomfort and emotional self-consciousness. Labiaplasty is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to address both aesthetic and functional concerns related to the vaginal region.

Who Can Benefit from Labiaplasty?

Ideal candidates for labiaplasty typically experience one or more of the following conditions:

• Labia minora extending beyond the labia majora
• Chronic discomfort during physical activities
• Recurrent irritation or infections
• Self-consciousness about vaginal appearance

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Daniel Brown offers two primary labiaplasty techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

Trim Method

A precise incision along the labial edges removes excess tissue, creating a symmetrical and refined appearance. This method effectively addresses asymmetry and reduces overall tissue volume.

Wedge Method

Utilizing a V-shaped incision, this technique removes a wedge of tissue and reconstructs the labia. It offers minimal scarring and is particularly suitable for specific vaginal tissue configurations.

Procedure Details

Labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure typically lasting approximately two hours. Patients can choose between local or general anesthesia based on their comfort and Dr. Brown's recommendation.

Recovery and Expectations

Initial recovery requires approximately one week of careful rest and limited activity. Patients can expect mild swelling and temporary discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications.

Complementary Procedures

Some patients opt for complementary treatments to enhance overall results:

• Clitoral Hood Reduction
• Vaginoplasty
