Overview
What is Labiaplasty?
It's increasingly popular for women to undergo cosmetic genital surgery, also known as a labiaplasty. This may involve mons reduction or lift alone or in conjunction with a tummy tuck. A large or asymmetric labia minora can be reduced. Some surgeries can be done under local anesthesia, and others require general anesthesia in an operating room. Recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks.
This procedure can be performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons. At PSG, we offer various techniques to address your specific concerns, whether you're experiencing physical discomfort or are unhappy with the appearance of your labia. Our surgeons will guide you through your options to ensure the best approach for your individual needs.

More Than Just Cosmetic Surgery
What conditions does labiaplasty address?
Labiaplasty addresses both physical and emotional concerns related to enlarged or asymmetrical labia. Physically, it can alleviate discomfort during activities like cycling or intercourse, reduce irritation from tight clothing, and improve hygiene. Emotionally, it can boost self-confidence and body image. Our experienced surgeons will carefully assess your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Additionally, some women find that labiaplasty improves personal hygiene and reduces the risk of recurring infections. At Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis, we're committed to helping you achieve the results you desire while prioritizing your health and well-being.

Labiaplasty Recovery
Recovery from labiaplasty is typically straightforward, but it's essential to follow our post-operative instructions carefully. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks. You may experience some swelling and discomfort initially, which can be managed with prescribed medication. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks to allow for proper healing. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and support throughout your recovery process.
Confidence Reclaimed
Labiaplasty Results
You'll notice an immediate change after your labiaplasty, but the final results will become apparent as swelling subsides over the following weeks. Labiaplasty results are typically long-lasting. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements in comfort and appearance are generally permanent. Many patients report increased confidence and satisfaction with their results long after the procedure.
