Understanding Labiaplasty: An Overview

Labiaplasty is a specialized surgical procedure addressing labia size and shape variations. Women may seek this treatment when elongated labia tissue causes physical discomfort or functional restrictions during activities like exercise or cycling.

Anatomical Considerations

Labia anatomy is unique to each individual, with significant variations in length and depth. When excess tissue creates ongoing issues, surgical intervention can provide relief and improve quality of life.

Surgical Techniques in Labiaplasty

Dr. David Kahng offers two primary labiaplasty techniques, each designed to address specific anatomical requirements:

Trim Procedure

• Most common surgical approach
• Removes excess tissue along the labia edge
• Closes incisions with precise suturing

Wedge Procedure

• Removes a pie-shaped tissue section
• Maintains natural labia border
• Can simultaneously reduce clitoral hood excess
• Uses absorbable sutures for closure

Anesthesia and Surgical Approach

Labiaplasty can be performed using local anesthetic, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on patient needs and surgical complexity.

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Most patients can return to work within one week following the procedure. During recovery, patients should:

• Wear loose-fitting clothing
• Elevate lower extremities to reduce swelling
• Avoid tampons and sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks

Expected Results and Benefits

Labiaplasty can significantly reduce physical discomfort by minimizing labia minora that extend beyond the labia majora. Many patients report improved confidence and reduced physical irritation after the procedure.
