This cosmetic procedure is a common solution for women who feel self-conscious about excess skin in the vaginal area. Women who suffer from this problem may not like how they look in tight clothing or feel the need to hide their vaginal area when wearing bathing suits. In some cases, excess skin in the vagina can cause irritation or chaffing. The excess skin may also make sexual intercourse uncomfortable and painful. Labiaplasty gives women relief and a boost in confidence, transforming the vaginal area inside and out.

Every woman is unique and seeks labiaplasty for different reasons. No matter the reasons, the decision is one that only you can make. The most common reasons women choose labiaplasty include:

• Improve the appearance and comfort of tight-fitting clothing
• Improve the appearance of the genitalia
• Increase sexual satisfaction
• Reduce discomfort and irritation
• Reduce the risk of infection

Following labiaplasty, women will experience mild swelling bruising and tenderness initially after the procedure. This can be managed with prescription pain medication in the early stages. Women should not exercise for two to three weeks following the procedure and avoid sexual activity for approximately six weeks.

Most patients find they are able to return to work after about one week. The results of labiaplasty are long-lasting. Once fully recovered, women enjoy a more aesthetically-pleasing appearance to the genitalia for years to come. Sexual pleasure will also be enhanced as there is less excess tissue to interfere with penetration.
