Labioplasty Surgery

This relatively minor surgical procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art outpatient facility under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. Epidural (spinal) anesthesia may also be used.

It is recommended to have this procedure performed just after one's period. After speaking with the anesthetist/anesthesiologist, the patient is brought to the operating room. After the patient is sedated, local nerve blocks, combined with medication that shrinks blood vessels and capillaries to reduce bleeding, are instilled. The excess labia minora tissue is excised, allowing re-approximation of the normal labial edges, preserving natural color and contour. The incision is closed with self-dissolving. Any additional procedures are then completed. Liposculpture of the mons pubis will require one or two tiny hidden incisions. The excess fatty tissue removed from the mons or a small amount of fat from the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks may be used to enhance and fill out a small area of the labia majora, if desired. Antibiotic ointment and a sanitary napkin are applied.
