Our Story of Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is intimate female genital surgery being a personal procedure that a woman may consider to alter the shape and contour of their private respective tissues upon careful consideration of the best options available.  This read is for the viewer who has already considered labiaplasty after exhausting all conservative therapies.

Our in depth surgical journey and experiences with our patients in Melbourne including Malvern East and Tasmania including Hobart who have trusted us over the years with their intimate female surgery have helped us understand labiaplasty better.  Surgically, labiaplasty is known to reduce the volume of tissues of the labia also known as labia reduction. For some patients, they may do it for personal reasons.  Each surgical technique related to labiaplasty has it's inherent potential benefits and risks.   Please read the disclaimer at the bottom regarding the potential risks of surgery or visit www.revaesthetic.com.au/risks-of-surgery

Selective Anatomic Preservation SAP Labiaplasty Lift technique

Some techniques don't just result in labia reduction but also a labia lift surgical outcome.  The SAP selective anatomic preservation technique, pioneered by Dr Kishen Nara MBBS FACCSM(Surg) General Registration MED0001201549 Surgical Fellow Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine, also provides a lifting affect of the labia tissues by the approximation of soft tissues not just from side to side but also from the front to back of the outer vaginal skin and deeper underlying tissues.  When this occurs, it produces a labia lift effect.  Labia lift surgery through the SAP labiaplasty re-architectures the shape and contour of the labia not just in the supine position but also in the erect or standing position.  The front and back portions of the labia do not protrude forwards and beneath with less risk of scalloping affect or contour irregularity in the mid-section of the labia.  

Visually, it may appear that the labia tissues, even though reduced in volume, does not appear to be elongated inferiorly or underneath since it has approximation between the front and back portions of the labia.  This reduces the inferior or underneath protrusion of the labia after labia reduction particularly in the standing position.  

This technique preserves the underlying deeper vital structures beneath the skin prior to tailored wound closure through identification of specific vessels and nerve pathways.  The internal surgical manoeuvres of SAP labiaplasty also support the labia lift affect.

Labia lift in SAP labiaplasty is possible in suitable patients with the technique of surgery used, our specific post-operative instructions, and a dedicated team to guide patients through the process.  The fundamentals of post-operative instructions used in SAP labiaplasty can be read on our blog here.

Labia lift surgery through SAP labiaplasty in Melbourne and Tasmania requires a thorough assessment in line with Medical Board of Australia guidelines.  Some patients are suitable whilst others may be better suited to other techniques.  Labia lift surgery via SAP labiaplasty can be performed either under light sedation or general anaesthesia performed by a specialist anaesthetist.

Is it easy to do?  No surgery is easy.  It takes decades to be enrolled, educated, accredited, and skilled in surgery.  In addition, aesthetic female intimate surgery is important and sensitive surgery which is included in the training of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine. To learn more about the only college in Australia which has dedicated training specific to cosmetic surgery click here.  All surgery carries potential risks and complications.  Some patients are suitable and some are not.  Equally, some patients may feel that surgery is not for them.

All techniques have it's complexities.  The SAP technique for labiaplasty employs a layered closure of soft tissues in order to respect anatomy and to provide the stability of tissues to heal thus reducing tension forces from the front and back.  Preserving the vessels that supply the skin assists with soft tissue healing.

What are downsides to SAP labiaplasty or labia lift surgery?

• It takes longer to do.
• It requires advanced techniques and skill.

• No surgery is immune to potential risks and complications.

What are the benefits to SAP labiaplasty or labia lift surgery?

• The short to mid- term phase is usually associated with a well anticipated and controlled average discomfort scale ranging from 0/10- 2/10.
• Less risk of mid- line labia deep contour irregularity which presents as lacking tissue in the mid portion of the labia minora.
• Reduces the risk of "micropenis" deformity following labiaplasty being a well recognised aesthetic complication following labiaplasty.
• Reduces the volume and width of the labia minora.
• Reduces the uniform height of the labia primarily at the front and back which visually presents as a labia lift.
• Preservation of vital structures beneath the skin which may be associated with less damage to vessels, nerve endings of the labia and deep labia tissue or the matrix that contains these vital structures.
• Known to be comprehensive and meticulous surgery of the labia where the best standards of care are emphasised during soft tissue handling and surgery pertaining to the labia minora and clitoral hood.  We do not trivialise the importance of labia surgery instead we respect and focus on the diversity individual anatomy whilst being compassionate, open and balanced with our approach to intimate female genital surgery in Melbourne including Malvern East and Beaumaris and Tasmania including Devonport and Hobart.

Your priority, our focus

Our focus is not primarily to reduce or eliminate anatomy but to lift tissues to approximate form.  The core focus of labiaplasty in Melbourne should never be to eliminate or solely reduce the labia minora and clitoral hood soft tissues but to also provide a lift affect to approximate it's original position.

By enlightenment of the core principles of SAP labiaplasty, there is more to understand about labia reduction in Melbourne and Tasmania being the associated labia lift surgery component.  

We value the diversity of hundreds of our enquiries specific to aesthetic intimate female procedures through respecting psychology, science, surgery, cultural diversity and individual beliefs.  It is our privilige to be part of their aesthetic journey.
