Benefits
It is important to remember that there are many reasons why women decide to undergo a labiaplasty procedure. For many, the reasons may not always be due to the outer aesthetic appearance of their labia. The procedure oversees a change that will enable women to:
- Experience renewed body confidence
- Engage in more physical activities and exercises
- Enjoy more fitting clothing options
- Enjoy increased arousal and confidence from sexual intercourse and activity
How is Labiaplasty Performed?
Depending on your needs and goals, there are two popular techniques used during surgery:
- Trim Method – This method sculpts the vaginal area by surgically removing excess skin along the edges of the labia. The scars are easily concealed along the labia minora, away from the clitoris and vaginal opening.
- Wedge Method – The ridges of the labia are removed using a V-shaped incision. The remaining tissues are then sewn together using absorbable sutures.
All procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia, at your doctor’s suggestion.
Labiaplasty Cost and Financing
