Reduction Labiaplasty

Benefits of a reduction labiaplasty performed at Dallas Cosmetic Center in Dallas, TX include:

• Minimizing irritation while wearing certain types of clothing or participating in physical activities
• Improving sexual sensation and confidence

Reduction labiaplasty at Dallas Cosmetic Center can benefit Dallas, TX women who are worried about the size and shape of their labia, which may be enlarged due to childbirth, genetics, or trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause discomfort, pain, itching, or irritation during physical activities like sex and exercise. A reduction labiaplasty can also help if you avoid wearing tight clothes (like leggings, bathing suits, or yoga pants) because of the appearance of your vaginal area. While labia surgery shouldn’t impact your ability to get pregnant, Dr. Huertas suggests you wait until you are done childbearing to avoid changing your results.

When you have labial reduction surgery with Dr. Huertas, you can expect it to take place in an outpatient setting with general or intravenous sedation. Dr. Huertas can discuss your treatment plan and more during your consultation so you can make any needed arrangements before your appointment. A reduction labiaplasty is typically done with a trimming technique to remove extra tissue, then the remaining skin is stitched so it is taut. Another technique is the wedge procedure to remove a pie-shaped skin area and extra folds from the clitoral hood before stitching the remaining tissue closed. Once the surgery is complete, you will then go into recovery until Dr. Huertas discharges you.

Because Dr. Huertas uses dissolvable sutures, you will not have an immediate follow-up appointment to remove sutures from your healing labia. He’ll want to see you back in his office within a week following your surgery so that he can check on the progress of your recovery. You can also ask questions and discuss any concerns you’ve had since your procedure. As far as aftercare following the surgery is concerned, you should not have sexual activity or use tampons for at least 4 – 6 weeks after your surgery. Patients typically notice visible improvements in around six weeks and final results about six months after surgery. The improvements of vaginal rejuvenation usually last for a long time; however, weight fluctuations, natural aging, and childbirth can impact your result.

How long does labiaplasty take?
Thankfully, this procedure only takes about 45 minutes to complete.

Will labiaplasty impact my sensitivity?
At first, you may have some numbness because of the topical anesthesia. However, this will go away in a few hours and not impact your ability to orgasm.

What is the aftercare like following reduction labiaplasty?
You will need to abstain from sexual intercourse for 8 – 10 days and avoid any sports that cause friction to your labia.

How painful is labiaplasty recovery?
You might experience swelling and soreness after your surgery, but this should pass within a few days. Pain can be effectively managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications, depending on what Dr. Huertas recommends.

Will there be scarring after my surgery?
Labiaplasty at Dallas Cosmetic Center is performed with precision and care, utilizing dissolvable sutures to minimize scarring. These sutures are designed to absorb into the body, reducing the need for removal and helping the incision lines heal more neatly. While some minimal scarring may occur, it typically fades over time and becomes barely noticeable. The natural folds of the labia also help conceal any residual scar tissue.

Can I combine labiaplasty with other vaginal treatments?
Yes, combining labiaplasty with other vaginal treatments, such as laser vaginal rejuvenation, is possible and often recommended for enhanced results. Laser vaginal rejuvenation can complement the aesthetic outcomes of labiaplasty by improving vaginal laxity and function. It’s important to discuss your goals with Dr. Huertas so he can advise on the best treatment plan tailored to your needs. Combining procedures should be done cautiously to ensure safety and the most favorable recovery and outcomes.
