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 2 weeks after her surgery, with moderate resolving swelling and great healing progress. This young patient had her 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 3-4 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 clitoral hood reduction and labiaplasty, growth factor injections for improved sensitivity and sexual health, and vaginal rejuvenation to achieve optimal intimate health for our patients.
Our Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman has extensive background and experience in aesthetics and surgery, having completed as Aesthetic Gynecology fellowship in addition to her plastic surgery training. Women’s wellness is both her passion and ours, and we take pride in caring for our patients with intimate wellness and sexual health concerns.
