Talking with anyone about your most intimate areas can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing. However, if your inner or outer labia (sometimes incorrectly called the vagina) are impacting your quality of life, the caring, approachable board-certified plastic surgeons at the Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery are ready to help. They offer labial reduction surgery, also called labiaplasty, in Ann Arbor, MI, to reduce physical and emotional discomfort associated with large or elongated labia.
Women of all ages who are in good health may be good candidates for labiaplasty.
This procedure corrects any of the following concerns that are usually due to genetics, childbirth, or menopause:
Labiaplasty may be performed as part of a Mommy Makeover to rejuvenate multiple areas affected by pregnancy and childbirth with a single surgery and recovery period. Other popular Mommy Makeover procedures include a tummy tuck, liposuction, vaginoplasty, and breast enhancement.
Labiaplasty reshapes and reduces the labia or plumps the outer labia for enhanced comfort and improved self-image.
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeons have more than 100 years of combined experience in all facets of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. As a qualified and compassionate team, they share a goal of providing a safe and rewarding plastic surgery experience while creating exceptional results worthy of your trust.
Our surgeons typically perform labiaplasty as an outpatient procedure in our state-of-the-art operating suite. This procedure may be performed using local anesthetic with sedation or general anesthetic depending on your preference.
The 2 most commonly used labiaplasty techniques are:
Your surgeon may use fat transfer to restore volume to the outer labia using excess fat collected with liposuction. Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed later.
After surgery, the labia will be tender and swollen for 2 to 3 weeks. Applying ice packs and soaking in a sitz bath as directed can help minimize these side-effects. Sutures typically dissolve within 2 weeks and do not need to be removed.
Patients are usually ready to return to work in 2 to 3 days. Avoid the use of tampons, intercourse, and thong underwear for about 4 to 6 weeks
Labiaplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment.
At the Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we look forward to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals. Please request your consultation with our easy-to-use online form or call our office at (734) 712-2323 to schedule your visit.
