Labiaplasty St. Petersburg, FL | John J. O'Brien, MD

Understanding Labiaplasty

Some women experience concerns about the size and shape of their vaginal lips, which can impact confidence and comfort. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John J. O'Brien Jr. specializes in surgical vaginal rejuvenation to address these aesthetic and functional concerns for St. Petersburg, FL patients.

Procedure Overview

Labiaplasty surgically adjusts the size and shape of the labia majora and/or minora. This procedure can be caused by natural aging, childbirth, pregnancy, or physical injury. The goal is to minimize irritation, reduce discomfort, and enhance personal confidence.

Ideal Candidates

• Women experiencing discomfort during physical activities
• Patients with enlarged or asymmetrical labia
• Individuals seeking improved aesthetic appearance
• Those experiencing irritation or self-consciousness

Surgical Techniques

Dr. O'Brien utilizes two primary techniques for labiaplasty:

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

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect approximately one week of initial healing. Full recovery takes about six months, with visible improvements emerging around six weeks post-procedure. Dr. O'Brien recommends avoiding sexual activity and tampon use for 4-6 weeks.

Expert Considerations

Dr. O'Brien emphasizes that while results are typically long-lasting, factors like childbirth, aging, and weight fluctuations can impact surgical outcomes. Patients are advised to complete childbearing before considering the procedure.

Professional Expertise

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. O'Brien provides comprehensive consultations to develop personalized treatment plans. His approach focuses on minimal scarring, natural contours, and patient comfort.
