What is Labiaplasty?
A labiaplasty is commonly performed to decrease the size of the labia minora. In some women the excess tissue in this area can lead to irritation, discomfort and/ or pain. The primary goal of this procedure is to reduce the excess tissue of the labia minora so that it does not hang below the labia majora. This procedure can also be used to address asymmetry.

Labiaplasty Candidates
Candidates for a labiaplasty include individuals who are experiencing symptoms associated with enlarged labia minora, uncomfortable with the appearance of their genitals and those who want to correct any asymmetry. Candidates must not smoke and need to be in generally good health.
The Labiaplasty Procedure
The labiaplasty procedure will begin with our double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. D’Agostino, examining and marking the surgical site. After this, she will infiltrate the area with local anesthetic. Dr. D’Agostino will then make incisions in the previously discussed and marked areas. Your excess skin is then removed, and the remaining skin is sutured together creating smooth trimmed edges. There are multiple techniques for Labiaplasty and based on the evaluation the technique that will provide the best results will be selected for you.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Recovering after your labiaplasty procedure can take a few weeks. You may notice mild pain and swelling, which will improve daily. Icing, elevating the bottom, loose clothing and proper hygiene are important during the recovery period. Patients need to refrain from sexual intercourse and from wearing tampons for four to six weeks. You can return to work after 3-4 days of resting. Heavy lifting should be avoided to allow the sensitive area to heal correctly. You may experience discomfort that will be manageable with medication. Following Dr. D’Agostino’s aftercare instructions are essential to help your body heal.
