What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and restore a youthful contour to the labia. For some women the labia can become enlarged, protruding uncomfortably when wearing certain clothing, causing pain, and make you self-conscious. Labiaplasty restores the look of your genitalia, correcting asymmetry and contouring shape to restore a more rounded, trim, youthful appearance.

Why Is Labiaplasty Performed?

While some women seek labiaplasty in Maine for medical reasons, the majority of women are choosing to recontour the vaginal lips to improve the appearance of their most intimate area. The opening of the vagina has two sets of labia or lips: the labia majora and the labia minora. With age, either or both sets of lips may lose the firm, natural look of youth.

This is an issue that can affect women of all ages but is more common in women who have had children, or who experience this issue as a result of aging tissues that lose natural flexibility and form. Some women are born with excess labial tissue and choose to undergo a labiaplasty in Portland to recontour the area, so it is more appealing in shape and appearance.

What Are The Different Methods Of Labiaplasty?

There are two methods of performing labiaplasty in Maine. The method used on each patient is determined by her individual anatomy and her reasons for seeking labiaplasty.

The trim method is the most common form of labiaplasty in which excess tissue is trimmed from the outer edges of the labia to provide symmetry and a more aesthetically-pleasing look.
The wedge method is performed by removing a triangle-shaped piece of tissue from the labia. This is often used in cases where there is a large amount of tissue to be removed and may require more extensive recovery than the trim method.

What Is The Procedure For Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is performed under either local anesthesia with intravenous sedation or more rarely, general anesthesia in the comfort and privacy of our Portland offices. Each labiaplasty procedure is unique and is tailored to resolve the individual situation of the individual. Once you have been sedated, your surgeon will remove excess labia tissue using with a precise, delicately-performed surgery. Your incisions will then be carefully closed with sutures.
