Labioplasty (aka labiaplasty) vagina surgery: Reduction of the labia
The popularity of ‘Intimate Surgery’ has skyrocketed over the last few years. Public awareness of these procedures has increased because of the frequent articles in women’s magazines such as Elle and New Woman.
Women request labioplasty(aka labiaplasty) surgery for two reasons. Some feel discomfort during sexual intercourse and desire a change. However, many women simply wish to change the appearance of the external sex organs: the Mons Pubis (fatty area under the pubic hair) or the external/ internal labia ( lips of the vagina). Most patients have labioplasty to reduce the length of the genetalia.
Who is a candidate for the labioplasty (aka labiaplasty) procedure?
If you have long or hanging vaginal lips/genetalia, you can benefit from a labia reduction. Some women have always been this way, whereas others develop the problem after childbirth or as they get older. Those with full fatty mons (vaginal lips) can safely undergo liposuction of that area.
Will everything look and feel normal after my labioplasty procedure?
Yes. The scars are very fine and hidden within natural skin creases. It is very difficult to spot them even up close. Sensation is improved since there are no flaps of extra skin in the way.
Is Dr. Rodriguez experienced in the labioplasty procedure?
Yes, Dr. Rodriguez performs an average of 2-4 labioplasty procedures per month. Additionally, while teaching in the Yale Plastic Surgery Department he performed vaginal reconstructions with surgical gynecologists. Similarly he published a chapter on "Vulvar Reconstruction with SEPA flaps" in Obstetrics & Gynecology, the scientific publication for gynecologists.
Can Dr. Rodriguez perform the labioplasty with local anesthesia?
No. Dr. Rodriguez performs the labioplasty under twilight IV anesthesia, instead of local anesthesia. However, the procedure is out-patient and only takes 1-2 hours.
What is the labioplasty recovery like?
If you live near Baltimore you can go home right after the surgery. Out of town patients normally stay overnight in one of our recommended hotels and can drive home the next day. You will have some swelling in the first 3-4 days, and it will gradually disappear over the next couple of weeks. Most patients can resume sexual relations in 7-10 days.
How much does the labioplasty procedure cost?
The physician fee for the labioplasty procedure averages $2500. Other fees include the hospital and anesthesia fees. Thus, depending on the length of your surgery, your TOTAL surgical cost will typically range between $3200 and $3600. Financing is available. Please call the office at 410-494-8100 for more information.
