Labiaplasty in Las Vegas, NV

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR LABIAPLASTY

Surgery for the labia at Aesthetic Revolution Las Vegas can be beneficial for women concerned about the shape and size of their vagina lips, which can be enlarged because of childbirth, genetics, or physical trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause discomfort, pain, irritation, or itching when engaging in activities like sex and exercise. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation can also be beneficial if you don't wear tight clothes (such as swimsuits, leggings, or yoga pants) because of the appearance of your vaginal area.

While labia surgery shouldn't impact your ability to get pregnant, Dr. Z advises you to wait until you are done childbearing to prevent changing your results.

LABIAPLASTY SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Many vaginal rejuvenation treatments can be completed in our operating room with a local anesthetic, so you may drive yourself to and from our office. If your treatment plan is more complex, you may need to be put under general anesthesia at a nearby surgical facility, so you will need to have a responsible person drive you home following your procedure. Dr. Z can talk about your treatment plan and more at your consultation, so you may make arrangements, if needed, before your appointment.

A labiaplasty procedure is typically done with the trim technique to remove extra tissue, then the remaining skin is stitched, so it is taut. Also available is the wedge technique to remove a triangular area of skin and excess folds from the clitoris before stitching the skin closed.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN LABIAPLASTY

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure, so you should take around one week to heal following your labiaplasty. This allows discomfort and swelling to fade away before returning to normal activities. IF NEEDED, Dr. Z suggests applying a cold compress or ice pack to minimize inflammation. You should not have sexual activity or use tampons for at least 4 – 6 weeks following your procedure.

Patients generally notice visible results in around six weeks and final results about six months following the procedure. The improvements of vaginal rejuvenation are usually long-lasting; however, weight fluctuations, natural aging, and childbirth can impact your result.

LABIAPLASTY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does a labiaplasty cost?

Your labiaplasty cost will depend on several factors. In your initial consultation with Dr. Z, he will understand your needs and wants before developing your unique surgical plan. When you have finalized your labiaplasty options, Dr. Z can start to estimate your costs.

Should I choose a cosmetic surgeon or OB/GYN?

As you research surgical vaginal rejuvenation, you will discover that many OB/GYNs (obstetricians and gynecologists) perform labiaplasty. Although most OB/GYNs can perform a labiaplasty, they may not be your best choice. An OB/GYN can remove loose or excess skin from your vaginal lips. But a qualified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Z will be able to incorporate the latest reshaping techniques to reduce the size and preserve the natural contour, symmetry, color, and sensitivity of the labia with minimal scarring. 

Will vaginal rejuvenation surgery cause insensitivity?

Like most surgeries, you may have decreased sensitivity in the treated area for a while. This is usually temporary as your skin and tissue recover. For those concerned about sexual sensitivity, it's important to realize that labiaplasty shapes the vaginal lips and will not affect the nerves of the clitoris. A skilled cosmetic surgeon, like Dr. Z, with years of training and experience in cosmetic vaginal surgery, will avoid the clitoris to prevent desensitizing the area.

What is the recovery process like after a labiaplasty?

Before your procedure, Dr. Z or someone on his team will discuss what you can expect following your labiaplasty and suggestions to speed your recovery. You should expect some swelling and bruising in the treated areas, plus some discomfort right after your procedure. You need to stay home for at least a week before resuming non-strenuous activities.

Labiaplasty does not affect sexual pleasure, but sexual intercourse may have to wait for at least 4-6 weeks. Dr. Z will evaluate your recovery in your check-up appointments and tell you when you can resume exercise and sexual activity.

Are there nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments?

Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments are available, which may improve mild vaginal laxity. However, labiaplasty surgery is better for dramatic improvements to reshape and tighten your labia. In your initial consultation with Dr. Z, he will explain your surgical and nonsurgical treatment options and suggest what will best fit your goals.
