Labiaplasty (also known as Labia Reduction) is quickly becoming one of the most common female rejuvenation procedures performed. In addition to wanting a breast augmentation or tummy tuck, many women are seeking out the labial rejuvenation procedure as a part of their Mommy Makeover wish list. The popularity of this procedure has increased as women have become increasingly educated about their own sexuality and anatomy. This education began with Playboy and the sexual revolution, but has accelerated a hundred times with pictorials on the internet, and exposed on Reality Plastic Surgery shows such as Dr. 90210 and The Doctors. These shows have introduced the labiaplasty procedure to millions of women, when most women who were bothered by the appearance of their labia previously had nowhere to turn.
Reasons that women give for seeking out a Labiaplasty (Labia Reduction) include:
- The feeling that the Labia appear too long or wide when naked
- The feeling that the Labia bulges in pants
- Pain with intercourse
- Pain with riding bikes or running
The Procedure:
I perform a Labiaplasty (Labia Reduction) procedure that I have adapted from a technique first described by Dr. Gary Alter. This procedure was seen on Dr. 90210. In my procedure, a vertical wedge of the labia minora is removed resulting in a small nearly invisible scar instead of the linear scar performed by many other surgeons. The recovery is about 2 to 3 days of bed rest followed by modified activites for only 2 to 3 more weeks. I have over a 90 percent satisfaction rate as reported in a recent survey.
