Labia RejuvenationAbout The Procedure Labia Rejuvenation reduces and reshapes the labia minora or inner lips that are stretched out or asymmetrical. Through the removal and repositioning of excess tissue and skin, the labia minora is reduced, but the natural contours, colors, and sensations are preserved. Enlarged labia minora can cause discomfort, and self-consciousness when wearing certain pants or during sexual intercourse.
Procedure Description During the Labia Rejuvenation surgery, your surgeon carefully excises or removes a small amount of interior soft tissue. Next, your surgeon carefully "tightens" surrounding soft tissues, using absorbable sutures.
Length of the Procedure Labia Rejuvenation takes 1 to 1-and-a-half hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.
Anesthesia Most often Labia Rejuvenation is performed under local anesthesia, but may be performed under general anesthesia.
Inpatient or Outpatient? Labia Rejuvenation is performed on an outpatient basis.
Possible Side Effects Labia Rejuvenation can result in temporary swelling, bruising, or sensation change.
Recovery The typical recovery period for Labia Rejuvenation is about 2 weeks. Since sutures dissolve on their own, there is no need for patients to return to have them removed. Patients frequently return to work about 1 week after surgery.
Even when Labia Rejuvenation recovery seems complete, it is recommended that patients abstain from sexual intercourse or tampon use for about 6 weeks after surgery
After Labia Rejuvenation, pain and discomfort felt can vary depending on the extent of work done. Some tenderness will likely be experienced initially, but should be easily controlled with oral pain medication and rest.
Duration of Results Labia Rejuvenation results are permanent.
Risks Risks associated with Labia Rejuvenation include changes in sensation, changes in pigmentation, and asymmetry.
Cost Expect to pay $2,000 to $4,500 for Labia Rejuvenation surgery.
