Description
This 28-year-old woman was bothered by the appearance and feel of her labia, or folds of tissue around the opening of the vagina; she didn’t like their asymmetry and felt one side was significantly larger than the other. This young healthcare professional had researched labiaplasty options for several years, and had been considering labiaplasty treatment since she was a teenager.
We treated her with a bilateral (both-sided) labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction to take away the excessively long inner labial tissues, make the labia more symmetric, and contour the too-long tissues around the clitoris for overall aesthetic balance. The patient is shown 6 weeks after her surgery, with approximately 70% of her final healing result. She is also shown here immediately after surgery, and here 2 weeks after surgery with great healing progress.
This young patient had her labiaplasty treatment awake and relaxed in the comfort and privacy of our clinic, and was very excited to see her results immediately after surgery. She will continue to heal and resolve swelling over the next several months; during this time, the labial tissues become less puffy and more contoured, while the incisions heal to essentially not visible.
While labia and vaginas come in a wide array of shapes and appearances, some women feel uncomfortable with too-long or stretched or asymmetric labial tissues, and want this improved after puberty, weight changes, pregnancy, or childbirth. We frequently combine labiaplasty procedures with clitoral hood reduction, growth factor injections for improved sensitivity and sexual health, and vaginal rejuvenation to achieve optimal intimate health for our patients.
