Labiaplasty in Bluffton | Aaron Mason, MD

Understanding Labiaplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

Labiaplasty is a minor surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns related to the labia minora (inner vaginal folds). The procedure involves removing excess skin or reducing loose, sagging tissue to enhance both physical comfort and personal confidence.

Who Can Benefit from Labiaplasty?

Candidates for labiaplasty typically include women experiencing:

• Physical discomfort from elongated or asymmetrical labia
• Self-consciousness about intimate areas
• Changes in vaginal appearance post-childbirth
• Functional challenges during physical activities

Procedure Details

The labiaplasty procedure is relatively straightforward and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Surgical techniques involve precise incisions in the labia minora, followed by careful removal of excess tissue. Dissolvable sutures are used to ensure minimal scarring and optimal healing.

Procedure Highlights

• Duration: Typically less than one hour
• Anesthesia: Local or general, patient's preference
• Outpatient procedure
• Minimal invasiveness

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return to normal work activities within days of the procedure. Complete recovery typically occurs within 7-14 days, with patients advised to avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks. Light bruising and swelling are normal and resolve quickly.

Potential Complementary Procedures

In some cases, patients might consider complementary procedures like vaginoplasty, especially following childbirth or to address specific anatomical concerns. A comprehensive consultation will help determine the most appropriate approach.
