Understanding Labiaplasty: Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery

Many women experience self-consciousness about the appearance of their vaginal lips, which can impact personal confidence. Lou Plastic Surgery offers specialized labiaplasty procedures to help Houston patients address aesthetic and functional concerns related to labial anatomy.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and resize the labia majora and/or minora. Potential causes for labial changes include:

• Genetics
• Natural aging
• Childbirth
• Pregnancy
• Physical trauma

Ideal Candidates for Labiaplasty

Candidates for labiaplasty may experience:

• Discomfort during physical activities
• Irritation when wearing tight clothing
• Self-consciousness about labial appearance
• Physical or aesthetic concerns

Surgical Techniques

Lou Plastic Surgery offers two primary labiaplasty techniques:

• Trim Technique: Removes excess tissue and creates a taut appearance
• Wedge Technique: Removes a triangular skin section with excess folds

Recovery and Expectations

Typical labiaplasty recovery involves:

• Approximately one week of initial healing
• Avoiding sexual activity for 4-6 weeks
• Visible results around six weeks
• Final results approximately six months post-procedure

Surgical Considerations

Dr. Lou recommends waiting until completing childbearing to ensure optimal, long-lasting results. Procedures can typically be performed with local anesthesia, though complex cases may require general anesthesia.
