Reduce the Size of Enlarged Vaginal Lips with Labiaplasty

Feb 19, 2020

Overview

At Foley James D MD, we understand that some women may experience discomfort or self-consciousness due to enlarged vaginal lips. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that can help address these concerns, reducing the size and shape of the labia minora to improve both physical and emotional well-being.

Understanding Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty, also known as labial reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of the labia minora. The labia minora are the inner lips surrounding the vaginal opening. Enlarged labia can be a source of discomfort during activities such as exercise, sexual intercourse, or even everyday activities like sitting or wearing tight-fitting clothing.

The procedure is performed by our experienced and skilled surgeon, Dr. Foley James D. During a labiaplasty, excess tissue is carefully removed, and the remaining tissue is reshaped to create smaller, more proportionate labia minora. The surgery is tailored to each individual's needs and desired aesthetic outcome, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance both comfort and self-confidence.

Who Can Benefit from Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty can be beneficial for women who experience:

  • Discomfort or pain from enlarged labia during physical activities
  • Chronic irritation or chafing of the labia
  • Self-consciousness or embarrassment about the appearance of the labia
  • Difficulty wearing certain clothing styles
  • Reduced sexual satisfaction due to oversized labia

During a confidential consultation with Dr. Foley James D, you can discuss your concerns and goals openly. The surgeon will evaluate your specific anatomy and medical history to determine if labiaplasty is a suitable option for you.

The Labiaplasty Procedure

Prior to your labiaplasty, you will have a thorough consultation with Dr. Foley James D to ensure you fully understand the procedure and its potential outcomes. You will also receive personalized pre-operative instructions to prepare for the surgery.

The labiaplasty procedure typically involves the following steps:

  1. Anesthesia: Labiaplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. This ensures your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
  2. Tissue Removal: Dr. Foley James D will skillfully remove excess tissue from the labia minora, taking care to preserve the natural shape and sensitivity of the area.
  3. Tissue Reshaping: The remaining labial tissue is delicately reshaped to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable outcome.
  4. Sutures: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, which will dissolve on their own over time.
  5. Recovery: After the procedure, you will be given detailed instructions on post-operative care and any necessary medications for a smooth recovery. Dr. Foley James D will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.

Recovering from Labiaplasty

Following a labiaplasty, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area. Dr. Foley James D and our dedicated team will provide you with post-operative care instructions to optimize healing and minimize any potential complications.

While each patient's recovery is unique, most individuals can expect to return to their normal activities within a few weeks. However, it is important to avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and sexual activity for a specified period to allow proper healing.
