Understanding Labiaplasty in Tallahassee

Board-certified plastic surgeons perform this technique for both medical and cosmetic purposes, serving patients in Tallahassee, Destin, Valdosta, Dothan, and North Florida areas.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical intervention addressing the surrounding skin of the vaginal lips. The procedure aims to improve both the functional and aesthetic aspects of female genitalia by correcting loose or sagging tissue.
Ideal Candidates for Labiaplasty
Women may be suitable candidates for labiaplasty if they experience:
- Pain or irritation during physical activities
- Discomfort during sexual intercourse
- Complications with urination
- Frequent urinary or yeast infections
- Sexual dysfunction related to genital tissue
Surgical Consultation Process
During the initial consultation, patients can expect a comprehensive medical review. The surgeon will discuss medical history, current medications, and desired outcomes while performing a thorough physical examination to develop a personalized surgical approach.
Surgical Procedure Details
The labiaplasty procedure typically involves anesthesia administration, either general or local, based on individual assessment. Two primary techniques are commonly utilized:
- Trim Procedure: Removing excess skin from outer labia edges
- Wedge Procedure: Extracting a pie-shaped segment to reshape the genital region
The entire surgical process usually requires approximately one hour.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients can anticipate a recovery period spanning seven to ten days. Initial post-operative instructions include avoiding strenuous activities. Mild swelling and temporary discoloration are normal. Pain management medication may be prescribed as needed.
Cost Considerations
Labiaplasty costs vary depending on individual patient requirements, potentially including clinic rates, surgical fees, and additional medical expenses.
