Confidence & Comfort Restored

Fortunately, labiaplasty can address these concerns by reducing excess tissue in the labia, helping about 14,000 women annually. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shannon Kuruvilla performs labiaplasty using IV sedation and local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience and a smooth, discreet recovery.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the labia minora (inner labia) and enhance symmetry. It typically involves shortening the labia minora so they are even with or slightly tucked inside the labia majora (outer labia).

For some patients, darker pigmentation on the edges of the labia may also be addressed. Dr. Kuruvilla takes a personalized approach to each labiaplasty, using her expertise and precision to ensure that the outcome matches the patient’s unique anatomy and goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is an option for women who experience discomfort or aesthetic concerns due to sagging or stretched labia minora. Ideal candidates are those who wish to reduce the size of their labia and are not planning future pregnancies, though it’s safe to undergo labiaplasty before finishing childbearing. Keep in mind that pregnancy and childbirth may cause the tissues to stretch again.

Labiaplasty Techniques

We offer two main labiaplasty techniques:

Trim Technique

This method involves removing excess tissue along the edge of the labia minora in a continuous line. It’s often preferred by patients who want to address discoloration at the edges of the labia.

Wedge Technique

A wedge of tissue is removed from the middle of the labia, and the remaining tissue is joined together, resulting in a more subtle scar. This technique avoids an incision along the entire length of the labia.

We will help you decide which technique is best based on your anatomy and goals. Additionally, some patients choose to combine labiaplasty with procedures like clitoral hood reduction or labia majora plasty (reduction of the outer labia) for a more comprehensive aesthetic result.

Combining Labiaplasty with Vaginal Rejuvenation

While labiaplasty focuses on external tissues, some patients also opt for non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation to address internal concerns. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer ThermiVa®, a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens internal tissues, improves vaginal dryness, and can alleviate mild stress urinary incontinence. ThermiVa also promotes collagen production to improve the firmness and appearance of external tissues.

What to Expect During Labiaplasty

Dr. Kuruvilla performs labiaplasty under IV sedation and local anesthesia for maximum comfort. General anesthesia is also an option for patients who prefer it. Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Kuruvilla makes precise incisions, removes excess tissue, and reshapes the remaining labial tissue to achieve a balanced, symmetrical appearance. The procedure is completed with dissolvable sutures, and you’ll be able to return home the same day with the assistance of a trusted adult.

Recovery After Labiaplasty

Recovery after labiaplasty is relatively quick. Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days. However, strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for several weeks, and sexual activity should be postponed for 1-2 months to allow the incisions to fully heal.

How Long Do Labiaplasty Results Last?

Labiaplasty results are long-lasting, but natural aging and hormonal changes, such as menopause or future pregnancies, may cause some tissue stretching over time.

Are There Alternatives to Labiaplasty?

For mild sagging, non-surgical options like ThermiVa® can help tighten vaginal tissues and improve the appearance of external genitalia. However, for significant excess tissue, labiaplasty remains the most effective solution.
