Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty or labioplasty is a surgical procedure to re-contour the shape of the female genitalia with a specific focus on the smaller inner lip or the labia minora.  Specifically, the area and size of the labia minora are reduced.   This is an operation of high satisfaction and good results.  Complications and risks of surgery are discussed at your consult as you must understand the implications of any surgery.  Labiaplasty may also involve changes to the mons pubis or labia majora  ( the outer lip) depending on your request.

Thickening and excess skin of the labia is not uncommon.  It may occur simply from a young age or congenital.  During puberty, hormonal changes occur and affect the thickness of tissues of the labia.  Childbirth at times may cause immense pressure on the perineal region and this also puts ongoing pressure on the labia causing it to thicken over time.  Excess tissue on the labia may occur with any individual regardless of activity, age, race, occupation, childbearing status or general health. There are many other causes not listed here but generally, they are benign causes and treatable with surgery. Non-surgical and surgical treatment options are available and these can be discussed with you in detail during your consultation.

Dr.Nara performs labiaplasty ( mainly inner lip contouring ) in patients who have realistic expectations and feel that their excessive labia tissue is affecting their lifestyle. 

The aspects of lifestyle involve :-

• Wearing fitting clothing
• Sporting activities – running, cycling, or simply unable to go to group activities because of the inability to wear fitted sporting clothing.
• Sexual experiences
• General confidence

Some patients feel that their excessive labia tissue whether on one side or both sides cause catching, irritation, pain, and chaffing.  This, in turn, affects their lifestyles as described above.

Dr. Nara performs labiaplasty either under general anaesthetic or under local anaesthetic depending on what the patient is comfortable with.   Only when you are comfortable, the operation begins with antiseptic solution applied gently on the surface of the skin.  You will be given antibiotics through the drip in your arm in order to reduce the risk of infection.  A very thin layer of skin is carefully removed with advanced surgical technique and instruments and any risk of bleeding is therefore reduced.  The majority of the important structures beneath the skin such as the deep tissue layers, blood vessels and especially nerves are aimed to be preserved.  Sometimes smaller nerves that escape to the level of the skin cannot be seen are released since the excess skin would need to be removed.  This is different from the traditional wedge resection techniques where a big segment of tissue is removed including skin, underlying soft tissue structure, vessels and nerves.  Modern techniques, which Dr.Nara bases his surgical practice on, aims to respectfully preserve these deeper structures as much as possible.  This, in turn, helps to reduce risks of surgery. When the tailored amount of tissue is removed then specialised stitches are carefully used so that the wound heals.  The "designer vagina" technique not only assists with reducing discomfort but also giving the best result possible.  

Sterile ointments are applied followed by thin dressings.

Dr. Nara will explain the technique used in further detail during your consult.

All surgery has some degree of discomfort.  It also depends on how much tissue is removed as well as the design that is involved in your labiaplasty.  But do not worry as this will be discussed in detail at your consultation with Dr Nara.  We want to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible by using various techniques to maximise comfort.

After surgery we will ensure that you are stable to return home by making a clinical assessment and to ensure you are comfortable.  Supervision by a responsible person for the first 24 hours is mandatory.  

You should not drive for the first 24 hours.

Light exercises can be resumed 3-4 weeks after surgery.

Usual exercises can be resumed at 6 weeks.

Depending on the work you do, Dr.Nara would prefer you to take time off work for at least1 week and to resume light duties for the week after.

Usually, this will take about 4-6 weeks depending on the healing process and your recovery.

Confidence after cosmetic surgery is always subjective.  However, to have the surgical team that you trust in accredited and licensed facilities is invaluable.  Dr Nara leads the team to respect patients, ensure their privacy and comfort in order to deliver high quality designer vagina surgery.  Sometimes, confidence comes from the cosmetic experience of each respective patient before , during and after surgery.

This is not labiaplasty.   This represents surgery to restore the structural tissues of the hymen.  Patients may consider doing this for various reasons.  All patients come from different walks of life.  We respect our patients beliefs.

Hymen repair is a personal and sensitive decision made by a patient for any reason.  We focus on the respect of our patients and helping them to understand about the potential risks and complications of surgery.

Hymen repair or anatomical revirgination can be performed either under a full general anaesthetic or local anaesthesia.

All surgery may have a degree of discomfort.  However, by abiding by the principles of good patient care, the discomfort is improved.  To find out more, click here.

Some of Dr Nara's patients ask whether they should maintain hygiene after surgery by washing with either soap water or plain water.  It is best to listen to the specific instructions provided and refrain from soap water as this may cause irritation and potentially increased pain following labiaplasty or hymenoplasty.

It is not uncommon for patients who have their period at the time of labiaplasty.  However, if you are uncomfortable you must inform the treating team at RevAesthetic.  The details will be discussed during your preparation before surgery.

Once the surgical wounds have completely healed with an assessment from the team at RevAesthetic then you may resume using tampons.  Until then it is advised to refrain from using tampons.  The details will be explained to you at your consultation with Dr Nara.

All patients seeking cosmetic labiaplasty or labioplasty surgery must have a specialist general practitioner referral.  Some patients who seek labiaplasty or vagina surgery may have symptoms that may or may not improve with surgery.  There are significant variations of anatomy or the structure of the labia minora, labia majora and clitoral hood from person to person.  Therefore, all labiaplasty or labioplasty surgery performed by Dr Nara at RevAesthetic is individualised.  No patient is the same.  As such, without having a thorough confidential and  respectful consultation with Dr Nara, it would be difficult to predict how much it is for your labiaplasty or labioplasty surgery.  The estimate price of labiaplasty performed by Dr Nara may approximately range from $6,000 to $12,000.   The cost of this will vary depending on the complexity of the labiaplasty surgery as well as any additional cosmetic treatments required such as fat grafting to the labia.

It is important to understand that you are having personalised professional service to tailor surgery specific to you.  There is no other better way to consider this other than to look into your concerns carefully and then to obtain an accurate quote of surgery.  

The outcome of surgery cannot be generalised.  Each Doctor have different results and outcomes for labiaplasty surgery.  Dr Nara and his team will tailor your surgery based on his professionalism, training specific to labiaplasty, experience, and skill.

All women are entitled to the decisions that make for their body.  Some may feel that they have discomfort  of the labia while wearing clothes, during sport or intimacy.  Some may consider other options prior to surgery.  This may or may not improve their symptoms.  No labia is the same as there are significant variations of anatomy from one person to another.
