Labiaplasty/Vaginoplasty
LABIAPLASTY is a surgical procedure that reduces and/or reshapes the labia minora (labia minora reduction) – the skin surrounding the vaginal opening. In most women, the labia minora are seen only when the legs are separated. However in some women, large labia minora are visible when the legs are not apart, or are barely separated, causing embarrassment, self-consciousness, and distancing in relationships. Enlarged labia may also be noticeable in tight fitting pants, and can cause discomfort during intercourse, with clothes, or with exercise. LABIAPLASTY (Labioplasty) is a procedure to correct this problem. Hoodectomy: known as “clitoral unhooding” is the right procedure for women that have decreased sexual sensitivity due to extra skin surrounding their clitoris. It can also reduce extra tissue that gives the labia an asymmetric or “top heavy” appearance after primary labiaplasty. VAGINOPLASTY (also sometimes known as perineoplasty) is a procedure designed to tighten the vaginal introitus. After childbirth, women may complain of vaginal laxity, resulting from stretching of tissues and separating of muscles, sometimes to the point that a tampon falls out, and this lack of tone can contribute to sexual dysfunction.A vaginoplasty brings the separated muscles together, and the extra mucosa skin from the back side of the vagina is removed. The external skin can also be removed for a more aesthetic appearance. Patients with significant laxity may not experience a benefit from less invasive treatments and may be better candidates for surgical tightening with vaginoplasty.
Individual results may vary.
