Labiaplasty Overview
Also known as vaginal rejuvenation, labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies the labia minora (inner lips) and/or the labia majora (outer lips) for cosmetic purposes. The labia are the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. The labia majora, meaning "large lips," are the larger outer folds that protect the external genital organs and are covered with pubic hair after puberty. The labia minora, or "small lips," are the inner folds that protect the openings of the urethra and vagina.
Cosmetic and Functional Benefits
Before undergoing labiaplasty, you will meet with your surgeon to discuss your motivations, expectations, and goals for the surgery, as well as the associated risks. Your surgeon will detail the surgical process, including the incision locations and anticipated changes to the size and shape of your labia.
You may need to undergo preoperative tests such as blood work, urinalysis, and a chest X-ray. Your surgical team will provide instructions on:
What to wear on the day of the procedure
When to refrain from eating and drinking
When to adjust or temporarily stop certain medications
“I do every procedure three times. I do it all in my head in advance. I do the actual surgery. I review it all from start to finish to look for ways to improve. This way, each procedure I do is my best work.”
Precision Revision for Better Facial Harmony
The most common technique for labiaplasty is the trim procedure, where excess tissue is removed and the remaining skin is stitched directly. The wedge procedure, another popular option, involves removing a pie-shaped piece of tissue while preserving the natural border of the labia. This procedure can also include the reduction of extra folds of the clitoral hood, typically using absorbable sutures for closure.
What You Need to Know
Labiaplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to recover at home. Although it's not an insignificant surgery, many doctors prescribe antibiotics to minimize infection risk and anti-inflammatory medications for pain management. If anti-inflammatory medications aren't prescribed, over-the-counter options are typically recommended.

Labiaplasty is a predictable outpatient procedure that typically lasts around two hours. Surgeons trim the excess tissue marked before anesthesia.
Possible complications include bleeding, infection, and scarring.
Risks may involve bleeding, hematoma, infection, wound healing issues, discomfort during intercourse, the need for revision surgery, altered orgasm sensation, and pain at the incision site.
Full recovery generally takes about 12 weeks.
Some women may experience discomfort when urinating post-surgery. Running warm water over the area while urinating may help.
Moderate pain usually lasts 2-3 days and then subsides. Most individuals return to normal activities with some restrictions.
The skin does not grow back, but it can stretch over time, especially during childbirth.
There is a slight risk of complications, including nerve damage, but these are rare when performed by experienced surgeons.
You can shower with soap and water 48 hours post-surgery. Avoid soaking in a bath until 3 weeks after the procedure.
