Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure of the female external genitalia folds – the labia minora and/or the labia majora. Labiaplasty reshapes the labia minora or the labia majora and reduces their size. If you’re interested in labiaplasty in Baton Rouge, consider a visit to Associates in Plastic Surgery.
The labia play a major role in the overall appearance of the vagina. Labiaplasty is an excellent choice for patients who are interested in addressing labial thickness, elongation, discoloration, and asymmetry. These issues come about as a result of factors like childbirth, genetics, and the aging process.
You are an ideal candidate for this vaginal rejuvenation option if you are experiencing any of these problems and are facing physical, social, or emotional discomfort because of them. Physical discomfort during sexual intercourse or one’s exercise routine is a common motivator for getting labiaplasty surgery.
Patients who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and do not smoke are the best candidates for labiaplasty.
First, general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation will be administered. Once this has taken effect and the patient is comfortable, the plastic surgeon will use one of two incision techniques:
Once the labia have been reshaped and sutured using the appropriate technique, dressings are used to protect the incisions as they heal.
While you are healing after this vaginal rejuvenation surgery, it is best to use pads instead of tampons. This is necessary for around ten days after the procedure. Additionally, avoid intercourse for three to six weeks in order to preserve the health of the temporarily weakened labial tissues.
Instructions will be provided during a consultation in order to ensure that your labiaplasty recovery process goes smoothly. Follow these instructions as closely as possible.
Full healing usually takes three months or less. At this time, bruising and swelling will have completely ameliorated and the patient will be free to enjoy their labiaplasty results.
Many patients who are interested in vaginal rejuvenation are curious about the price of the surgery. Labiaplasty cost is affected by whether the procedure is functional or purely cosmetic, which techniques are used, and how long the surgical session takes. The CareCredit program is available to aid with financing.
