Labiaplasty in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is A Labiaplasty?
Although it isn't talked about openly, many women have concerns about the size and shape of their labia, which can cause them to be less confident. Plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki want to help Fredericksburg, VA women feel more attractive and comfortable with vaginal rejuvenation surgery to correct the size and shape of the labia. The labia, the external lips of the vaginal area, can look larger or have hanging skin due to natural aging, childbirth, pregnancy, or physical trauma. A labiaplasty is a surgery that reduces the size of the labia majora and/or minora to create a more normal look. This could diminish discomfort and irritation while increasing confidence and sexual pleasure. Come in for a consultation at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg in Fredericksburg, VA to hear more about labiaplasty, and find out if you may be a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation surgery.
How Is A Labiaplasty Performed?
Most vaginal rejuvenation treatments are performed under anesthesia in our facility.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
I have had the most amazing experience at this practice in general. Dr. Heppe and his team from the front desk all way back to his OR staff have been simply amazing and I cannot thank them enough. I had a breast lift and I love my result. Very professional, friendly, and patient. If you are considering plastic surgery go here. Worth every penny
I had a mommy makeover with Dr. Aflaki and I couldn’t be happier with my results. From start to finish, he and his staff provided exceptional care. One thing that really stood out to me was that I saw Dr. Aflaki personally at every single visit — not just a nurse or assistant, like you hear happens at some other places. That level of personal attention made me feel confident and cared for throughout the entire process.Every time I called with a question or concern, they made time for me, never making me feel like a burden. Dr. Aflaki is not only incredibly skilled, but also kind, attentive, and truly invested in his patients’ outcomes. I’m so thankful I chose him for my surgery and would recommend him to anyone considering a mommy makeover or cosmetic procedure.
Dr. Aflaki is amazing and has a good eye for the natural look. Professional and artistic. The office staff and nurses offer a calm and positive support system. Highly recommend !!!
If you are thinking of getting plastic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Howard Heppe. When I first met Dr. Heppe I was in search of obtaining a breast reduction. It had been years of always feeling less than confident on how they looked more so how one breast was larger than the other. The procedure was done in mid 2023 and I cannot tell you how absolutely thrilled I was after having had the procedure. My breast looked amazing and gave me such positive confidence knowing they were now perfect!. The care received after the surgery was also top notch! Great follow-up with Dr. Heppe and his team.Fast forward, I once again met with Dr. Heppe to discuss having an abdominoplasty after trying to get rid of what I called apron fat around my abdomen. The surgery was performed early 2025 and I look and feel like a whole new person!!Dr. Heppe is truly a master in his field and I am beyond thrilled both with how I look and how I feel.If you are in search of a brilliant plastic surgeon, please call his office. He takes his job serious and you won't be disappointed.
I had a breast lift with implants done by Dr. Aflaki, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! From start to finish, Dr. Aflaki and his entire team were incredible—kind, patient, and always willing to answer my (many!) questions. I never felt rushed or dismissed, which made the whole process so much more comfortable. Dr. Aflaki is truly skilled and professional, and it shows in the results—I absolutely love my new look! Pricing was very fair compared to other places I researched, especially up north. I’m so grateful to Dr. Aflaki and his staff for their care and support. I am a hypochondriac and was sooo fearful of the pain, it really was not that bad at all. Wish I did it 15 years ago. Thank you all so much! <3

Is Labiaplasty Right for Me?
Surgery for the labia at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg can be beneficial for Fredericksburg, VA women who are self-conscious about the appearance of their vaginal area, which can be enlarged because of childbirth, genetics, or trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause pain, discomfort, itching, or irritation when engaging in physical activities like exercise and sex. A labiaplasty may also help if you avoid wearing tight outfits (like leggings, swimsuits, or tight pants) because of the appearance of your vaginal area. While labia surgery shouldn't affect your ability to get pregnant, Dr. Heppe recommends you wait until you are done having children to prevent altering your results.
What Can I Expect After Labiaplasty?
During labiaplasty recovery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area, which are most noticeable in the first few days. Mild pain or soreness is normal and can be managed with medication as prescribed. You will need to avoid strenous exercise, sexual activity, and using tampons after labiaplasty for several weeks to allow proper healing. Swelling will gradually decrease over a few weeks, but residual swelling after labiaplasty surgery may take a few months to fully resolve. Most patients return to work and light activities within about a week, depending on their comfort level. Our team will provide detailed labiaplasty aftercare instructions to support healing and ensure your results are comfortable and natural-looking.
Labiaplasty FAQ
Will vaginal rejuvenation surgery cause insensitivity?
As with any surgery, you may have short-term numbness in the treated area after the procedure is completed. This is usually temporary as your vaginal tissue and skin recover. Regarding sexual sensitivity, it is important to understand that labia rejuvenation corrects the vaginal lips and not the clitoris. Our skilled plastic surgeons have many years of experience performing cosmetic vaginal surgery and avoiding the clitoris to prevent desensitizing the area.
What is the recovery process like after a labiaplasty?
Prior to your surgery, our surgical team will explain what to expect after your labiaplasty plus tips to make your recovery more comfortable. You will expect some bruising and swelling in the treated areas plus a certain amount of discomfort right after your surgery. You should plan to stay home for at least a week before resuming non-strenuous activities. Our surgeons will assess your recovery in your follow-up appointments and tell you when you can resume exercise and sexual activity.
Are there nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments?
Nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments are available, which may improve mild vaginal laxity. However, vaginal rejuvenation surgery is better for dramatic improvements to re-shape and tighten your labia. During your consultation, we will discuss your surgical and nonsurgical treatment options and make recommendations as to what will best fit your needs and goals.
