Why Has Labiaplasty Become a More Popular Cosmetic Procedure?

Labiaplasty is performed for various cosmetic and functional reasons. Enlarged labia is considered a normal genetic variation of vaginal anatomy. Women often seek to enhance the cosmetic appearance of their vaginas for various reasons. Labia can be asymmetric, single-sided, and may involve the labia minora or majora.

Many women have functional reasons for choosing labiaplasty. Enlarged labia can make wearing underwear and swimsuits challenging. Large labia can cause physical discomfort during sexual intercourse, bike riding a bike, or when wearing tight clothing.

Labiaplasty Benefits

A few of the benefits of a labiaplasty can include:

Improved aesthetic appearance
More wardrobe options (swimsuits, shorts)
Improved confidence
Increased comfort
Reduce irritation or discomfort during intimacy or exercis

Who Is a Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is ideal for patients with labial hypertrophy who want to regain their confidence and may or may not experience physical discomfort.

What Causes Labial Hypertrophy?

Many patients experience large labial folds since birth or after puberty. However, some women have tearing or stretching of the labia caused by childbirth, accidents or age.

What Are the Types of Labial Enlargement?

There are three types of labial enlargement (hypertrophy). The enlargement of labial tissue can occur on the right or left side and is not necessarily the same type on either side. Some patients may have Type III on their right labia but Type II on their left labia.

What Are the Types of Labial Enlargement?

Type I “Flag”: The enlarged tissue is seen as a flap at the front third portion and causes discomfort with tight clothing. With Type I labia hypertrophy, patients often do not report pain or discomfort with sexual intercourse. This is the least common type of labial hypertrophy.

Type II “Oblique”: This is characterized by enlargement of the top and middle portions of the labia. Patients usually complain of pain with tight clothing and with sexual intercourse.

Type III “Complete”: This appears to be excess tissue in the back third of the labia; however, patients often experience less discomfort with tight clothes compared to Type I and Type II. Patients with Type III labial hypertrophy often experience pain with sexual intercourse and sports activities. With Type III, the opening of the vaginal orifice is blocked by the labia minora. This is the most common type of labial hypertrophy.

What To Expect During Your Labiaplasty in Dallas

The extent of labiaplasty in Dallas varies based on your desires and Dr. Azouz’s evaluation. A labiaplasty typically involves removing excess labial tissue. Tissue can be trimmed directly from the labia, or a pie-shaped wedge can be removed, bringing the two ends together to reform the natural border. There are several approaches for treating labial hypertrophy, depending on the type. Dr. Azouz can improve the symmetry and shape of the labia during the procedure. The stitches are used to hold the new shape in place while it heals. For all types of labiaplasty, Dr. Azouz maintains all or a portion of the clitoral hood to preserve sexual function.

Type I: In these cases, the edge of the labia minora is removed to form a tighter and improved contour. Dr. Azouz will suture the edge to create an improved profile.
Type II: For type II, a wedge resection is performed where Dr. Azouz removes a segment of triangular-shaped tissue and decreases the size of the labia. In this procedure, the natural labial edge is maintained.
Type III: A wedge resection or skin flap can be performed to improve the appearance of the labia, depending on the specific case.

Combining Labiaplasty With Other Plastic Surgeries

Many patients choose to combine labiaplasty with an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation, also known as a “Mommy Makeover.”

Labiaplasty Cost

The cost of labiaplasty in Dallas is determined by many factors, including patient health, age, anatomy, and smoking status. Dr. Azouz will determine the cost of surgery with history and physical examination.

Labiaplasty Recovery

Follow Dr. Azouz’s aftercare instructions closely to minimize complications after surgery. Patients can typically resume desk work within a few days to a week. It is recommended that you avoid sexual intercourse for six to eight weeks. Recovery time for labiaplasty varies based on the procedure and individual healing. Patients may experience discomfort and swelling initially, which should decrease over the following weeks. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled for a healthy recovery.

Labiaplasty Results

After the labiaplasty recovery process, patients may have an enhanced cosmetic appearance of the labia with fewer physical discomforts. Patients may also be able to wear a bathing suit or underwear with improved confidence and comfort. See below what is possible from a before and after labiaplasty procedure.

“This was something I had been self conscious about for a long time and I am so glad I got it done! Dr. Azouz was able to get me in for surgery the day after my consultation and was very reassuring. He did an excellent job and I was never worried about the results. He does like to talk out the surgery, the healing process etc. and reiterate it, but it’s just to make sure you know what to expect.”
