Labiaplasty Q & A

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to generally minimize the labia minora. It is a type of vaginal rejuvenation that can relieve genital discomfort and other issues. 

In some instances, some women opt for a labiaplasty to reduce discomfort and other issues with exercise, sexual activity, or hygiene caused by enlarged labia minora. The procedure can also address damage or weakness caused by childbirth or menopause, such as incontinence, vaginal dryness, and laxity.

Some women choose labiaplasty because they feel self-conscious when they become intimate with their partners. The procedure can help you feel more confident about the appearance of your genitals. Whatever your motivation for labiaplasty, the Arizona Women’s Care team can help.

What happens during labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure performed in the office suite. The Arizona Women’s Care team provides anesthesia to help you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the surgery. Your doctor can usually complete the operation within an hour.

What should I expect while recovering from labiaplasty?

Your genitals are extremely sensitive, and you need to take proper care to ensure a safe recovery. Your doctor prescribes medicine to reduce your risk of infection and manage pain. Take the drugs as directed to remain as comfortable as possible.
