As a woman, you know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident in your own body. This is why changes that we undergo due to childbirth, pregnancy, hormone fluctuations, and aging can be so frustrating, especially when they result in discomfort and irritation. Even worse is how these changes can make you feel self-conscious about your body and unable to really be yourself.
At Deigni Plastic Surgery, we understand how these changes can affect your labia and how frustrating they can make you feel from both an aesthetic and functional perspective. We are therefore proud to offer labiaplasty in Woodlands, a body sculpting procedure undertaken by countless women to alleviate discomfort and bring back self-confidence.
Labiaplasty is a minor plastic surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the inner vaginal lips (labia minora) or the outer vaginal lips (labia majora). The procedure is performed for aesthetic reasons as well as to address discomfort and irritation caused by chaffing and rubbing of the enlarged labia.
In The Woodlands, labiaplasty can usually be undertaken through local anesthesia, but we also offer general anesthesia if this is your preference.
During the procedure, your surgeon removes extra tissue from the labia to make them smaller or less bulky. The whole surgery takes between one to two hours.
The two most common techniques for reducing the size and shape of the labia include the trim method and the wedge method:
Your surgeon trims off the edges of the labia and stitches them up.
Your surgeon removes a small V-shaped piece of skin from the middle of the labia and stitches the two sides together, which reduces the overall bulk of the labia.
Following the procedure, you will be allowed to return home immediately. The stitches used to close the wound will dissolve over time. The recovery process can take four to six weeks. During this time, you should refrain from sex, tight clothing, and excessive physical exertion.
If you are in the Woodlands and have been suffering from irritation or discomfort from enlarged or asymmetrical labia, or are simply self-conscious about their appearance, then labiaplasty is an option for you.
Following a labiaplasty, you will be amazed at how much easier it is to take long walks or jogs, go on a long bike ride, or sit for extended periods, such as car rides. The surgery makes a noticeable difference in many physical activities by relieving the irritation caused by pain and chafing of your labia.
You will be surprised at how labiaplasty can restore your lost confidence when it comes to intimacy and sexual relationships. Having an enlarged or asymmetrical labia can leave you feeling self-conscious during intimacy and can make sexual encounters painful due to chafing and friction. Labiaplasty addresses these concerns and enables you to regain your confidence in intimate settings.
Tight clothing, such as leggings, swimsuits, or fitted underwear, can sometimes cause discomfort or make you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your labia. By reducing excess tissue, labiaplasty allows you to once again wear a variety of clothing styles without concerns of chafing or looking odd.
Enlarged or asymmetrical labia can have a negative impact on your life. They can keep you from enjoying many daily activities and make you self-conscious when it comes to your appearance and sexual intimacy.
