Labiaplasty in Leawood, KS | Swanson Center for Cosmetic Surgery
Understanding Labiaplasty Procedure
Labiaplasty is a specialized surgical procedure focusing on the labia minora, the inner "lips" composed of skin and mucosa. The primary motivation for this procedure is often genetic, addressing concerns about labial tissue size and appearance.
Common Reasons for Labiaplasty
- Genetic predisposition to enlarged labia
- Discomfort during physical activities
- Self-consciousness about genital appearance
- Challenges with tight-fitting clothing
Surgical Techniques
Wedge Technique
The wedge technique involves resecting excess labial tissue as a triangular section, carefully removing tissue from the middle portion of the labia. This method preserves nerve sensation and maintains natural anatomical structure.
Trim Technique
While the trim technique can sometimes create a less natural appearance, surgeons often combine elements of both wedge and trim approaches to achieve optimal results.
Anesthesia and Procedure Details
Labiaplasty can be performed under local anesthesia or with brief intravenous sedation. The procedure typically involves minimal discomfort, with dissolving sutures that heal within approximately two months.
Potential Considerations
- Healing typically occurs with minimal scarring
- Patients are advised to avoid intercourse for 5-6 weeks
- Rare potential complications include wound dehiscence and hematoma
