What is a Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic procedure that aims to reduce the size of the labia minora (inner tissues of the female genitalia) so that it fits anatomically within the labia majora (outer part of the female genitalia). Oftentimes, there is a baseline asymmetry of the labia minora,
which is also addressed during Labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is a surgery in which the excess tissue is removed and the cut edge sutured with an absorbable suture. Women consider Labiaplasty because of several concerns, including difficulty with exercise, intimacy, hygiene, visibility through clothing, and physical discomfort.

Labiaplasty First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step in pursuing a Labiaplasty in NYC is scheduling a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Bianca Molina. Dr. Molina will discuss your medical history, your goals, and desires for undergoing labiaplasty, and perform a physical exam prior to coming up with a detailed and personalized surgical plan.

Our patient Concierge Team will discuss details such as pricing, timing, and surgical scheduling. Our team will also provide you with preoperative instructions, outline what to expect on the day of surgery, ensure you understand your postoperative medication regimen and care instructions, and set up your postoperative visits. Dr. Molina and the Concierge Team ensure all of your questions and concerns are addressed prior to undergoing vaginal rejuvenation with Labiaplasty.

What to Expect on the day of Labiaplasty Surgery

Labiaplasty is an intimate and customized procedure. Labiaplasty can be performed

awake under local anesthesia, or with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference. Dr. Molina will see you first on the day of the procedure to ensure last-minute questions are answered and that you feel comfortable. Labiaplasty is done in a procedure room as a sterile procedure.

Dr. Molina will follow your tailored treatment plan to remove the excess labial tissue. She will then close the incision sites strategically, giving your labia a symmetrical appearance. Depending on your discussion, Dr. Molina will use one of the following techniques:

TRIM METHOD

The Trim Method, also known as the edge excision, is the most popular technique for Labiaplasty. During this direct and straightforward approach, the elongated or asymmetrical labia tissue is removed. The labia minora is then trimmed in alignment with the labia majora. The incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.

WEDGE METHOD

The Wedge Method removes a pie-shaped piece of the excess labial tissue and leaves the natural edges of the labia intact. This also involves the use of dissolvable sutures.

CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION

Clitoral Hood Reduction may be a part of your Labiaplasty treatment plan if there is excess tissue in the clitoral area. This procedure does not alter the clitoris itself.

Labiaplasty Recovery

You can expect minor swelling and bruising in the treated area after surgery. You will be discharged with pain medication and post-operative instructions on care including the use of ice and elevation to limit swelling, and methods to maintain proper hygiene around the surgical site, and what is expected during healing.

It is recommended to avoid sexual activity or aggressive exercise for four to six weeks following surgery. Swelling and discomfort are mostly resolved by three to four weeks after surgery but may take up to six months for final healing.
