Labiaplasty is cosmetic surgery to reduce the size of or reshape the inner vaginal lips. It is growing in popularity among women not only for cosmetic reasons, but also for some to relieve pain and discomfort. Enlarged labia is often congenital, but can also be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy. In some women it is visible and noticeable even when fully clothed, causing embarrassment and social discomfort. Labiaplasty can be performed alone or as a part of a complete Mommy Makeover. Enlarged Labia
The labia minora are the inner lips of the vulva. They are not hidden by the outer lips (labia majora) when the legs are closed. When they are enlarged or elongated, the can protrude past the outer lips, sometimes to the point that they are noticeable through clothing. Elongated or unevenly sized labia, even when not severe enough to be seen when fully clothed, can cause self-consciousness in the bedroom. Enlarged labia may make it impossible to wear bathing suits or shorts with confidence. For some women they make tight fitting pants too painful to wear and can even prevent activities such as horseback riding. In addition to the psychological and emotional barriers that enlarged labia can cause during intimacy, they can also make intercourse physically painful. Labiaplasty Procedure
Labiaplasty is performed under general anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure, so you can go home the same day. During labiaplasty surgery excess tissue is trimmed from the inner vaginal lips and they are reshaped. Liposuction can be used to remove excess fatty tissue from the outer lips. The clitoris can also be exposed during the procedure, to enhance sexual pleasure. This part of the procedure is called a hoodectomy, and is optional. Labiaplasty Recovery
Your cosmetic surgeon will give you detailed instructions for how to care for yourself after your surgery. Immediately after labiaplasty you will experience some bruising, swelling, and soreness. You will need to wear a pad for a few days to a week to protect your clothing from any bleeding. General discomfort should resolve in about five to 10 days. Tampon use should be avoided for about 10 days. Some women can return to work in about two to four days, but strenuous activity must be avoided for two to three weeks. Sexual activities must be avoided for about six weeks to two months. To learn more about labiaplasty please visit the website of Dallas, Texas cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Vasdev Rai today.
