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. If the procedure is more complex, you may need anesthesia at an accredited facility so you will need a responsible friend or family member to drive you home after your procedure. A labiaplasty is generally done with the trim technique to remove extra tissue. Next, the remaining skin is stitched so it is taut. Also available is the wedge technique that removes a pie-shaped piece of skin and extra folds from the clitoral hood before suturing the skin closed.

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.
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.
