Labiaplasty Scottsdale, AZ | Dr. Molly F. Walsh, DO

What is Labiaplasty?

Many women experience self-consciousness about their labia, which can impact personal confidence. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to normalize the size and shape of the labia, addressing concerns caused by genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, or physical trauma. The procedure surgically decreases the size of the labia majora and/or minora to create a more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable appearance.

Who is a Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Ideal candidates for labiaplasty are healthy women with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Women typically consider this procedure if they:

• Experience discomfort during physical activities
• Feel self-conscious about labial appearance
• Encounter irritation when wearing tight clothing
• Wish to improve sexual confidence

Benefits of Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty offers multiple potential benefits for patients, including:

• Reduction of physical discomfort
• Improved aesthetic symmetry
• Enhanced sexual confidence
• Minimized clothing-related irritation
• Personalized surgical approach

Surgical Techniques

Forma Plastic Surgery offers two primary labiaplasty techniques: the trim method and the wedge method. The trim technique involves removing excess tissue and carefully stitching the remaining skin. The wedge method removes a triangular tissue section, creating a refined labial appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect approximately one week of initial recovery. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal. Patients should avoid sexual activity and tampon use for 4-6 weeks. Visible results typically emerge around six weeks, with final results developing over six months.

Important Considerations

Patients should consult with board-certified plastic surgeons to determine the most appropriate approach. While the procedure does not typically affect pregnancy capabilities, waiting until completing childbearing is recommended to maintain optimal results.
