Labiaplasty in Ypsilanti, MI | Dr. Richard J. Beil, MD

Understanding Labiaplasty Procedures

At the Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor, board-certified plastic surgeons provide compassionate and professional labiaplasty services for women experiencing physical or emotional discomfort related to labial anatomy.

Labiaplasty Candidacy

Women of all ages in good health may be suitable candidates for labiaplasty. Common reasons for considering this procedure include:

• Loss of volume in outer labia
• Inner labia extending beyond outer labia
• Discomfort during physical activities
• Asymmetrical labial shape or size
• Self-consciousness with fitted clothing

Procedure Techniques

Our surgeons utilize two primary labiaplasty techniques:

• Trim Labiaplasty: Removes excess skin along the outer labia edge
• Wedge Labiaplasty: Removes a V-shaped tissue section while preserving natural labial contours

Complementary Procedures

Labiaplasty can be combined with other surgical procedures, including:

• Tummy Tuck
• Liposuction
• Vaginoplasty
• Breast Enhancement

Surgical Approach

The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Surgeons may also utilize fat transfer techniques to restore outer labial volume.

Recovery and Healing

Patients can expect tenderness and swelling for 2-3 weeks. Most individuals return to work within 2-3 days, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Specific post-operative instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing.
