Labia Rejuvenation (Labiaplasty)
Labiaplasty
WHAT IS LABIAPLASTY?
Labia rejuvenation surgery, or Labiaplasty, is sometimes referred to as female rejuvenation surgery, laser vaginal rejuvenation (LVR), female genital plastic surgery, female genital cosmetic surgery, designer laser vaginoplasty (DLV), or even vulvovaginal surgery. Labiaplasty is the aesthetic surgical enhancement of the vulvar structures (labia minora, labia majora, mons pubis, perineum, introitus).
The Labiaplasty procedures requested most often are:
- Reduction of the size and thickness of the labia majora - restoring a more youthful look to large, protruding, or sagging outer lips due to childbirth, weight gain, weight loss, or aging;
- Labia minora reduction - our most requested procedure, labia minora reduction is the sculpturing of elongated or uneven inner lips;
- Removal of hyperpigmented (darker) ends or tips of the labia minora;
- Clitoral hood reduction - reduction of the skin on the sides of the clitoris, allowing the skin to drape neatly over the clitoris;
- Laser perineoplasty to rejuvenate the relaxed or aging vaginal opening (introitis), labia majora and minora, and the perineum;
- Laser repair of areas injured due to trauma or childbirth;
- Fat transfer to the labia majora to beautifully enhance this area (Augmentation Labiaplasty; and
- “Vulvar liposculpturing” to remove fatty deposits in the mons pubis and labia majora areas.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM VAGINOPLASTY?
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that “tightens” the vagina by enhancing the vaginal muscle tone, strength and control, repairing stress urinary incontinence and allowing for greater sexual gratification. You can read more about that procedure here, or learn about combining both procedures here.
