Labiaplasty

Conveniently located to serve Dallas and Fort Worth

Labiaplasty, also referred to as labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation, is one of the fastest growing trends in cosmetic surgery. Labiaplasty surgery is a procedure many women are choosing to undergo as a way to enhance the appearance of their genitalia.

Labiaplasty is a procedure Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Rai can perform to reduce the size of the inner lips of the vulva. For many women elongated inner lips can cause self-consciousness when wearing thongs, skimpy bikini bottoms, or other underwear. In some cases, prominent labia can even affect everyday activities, and in some cases, they can even interfere with sexual activity.

For most women, the protrusion of the inner lips of the vulva, or labia minora, is a congenital variation in anatomy. Even though many women have protruding labia minora, for some, it is a problem that they would like to correct.

Dallas Labiaplasty Surgery

If you are unhappy with protruding labia minora, or inner vulva lips, you may be a good candidate for Dallas Labiaplasty surgery from Dr. Rai. Dr. Rai can help you enhance the appearance of your vagina so that you are no longer self-conscious.

Each Labiaplasty patient is unique, and during your initial consultation, Dr. Rai will listen to the results you would like to achieve and help you determine exactly what types of enhancements you would like to have made.

During the Labiaplasty procedure, you will be placed under general anesthesia so that you don’t feel any discomfort during the surgery. The recovery period from Labiaplasty is relatively short. After the procedure, there may be 5 – 10 days of discomfort, and the full recovery usually takes 2 – 3 weeks.

Many women who choose to have Labiaplasty, also choose to have other cosmetic procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation, or face lifts to provide themselves with a whole new look.

Here are some brief descriptions of procedures commonly called “labiaplasty / labiaplasty“:

Labia Minora Reduction or Reshaping – Labiaplasty may be performed on the labia minora (inner labia) to reduce their size or reshape them. Labiaplasty can correct the labia minora if they are protrusive beyond the labia majora, or if they cause discomfort in tight-fitting clothes, during sexual activity, or have stretched due to childbirth.

Labia Majora Surgery – Labiaplasty of the labia majora (outer labia) is performed to change their size. Most commonly, they are reduced because they are uncomfortably large or because of uneven or asymmetrical shaping.

Clitoral Hood Refinement – Sometimes the hood of skin that covers the clitoris may prevent it from being stimulated during intercourse. Clitoral hood refinement is designed to increase a woman’s sexual pleasure. You can learn more about clitoral hood refinement on our What is clitoral hood reduction? page.

Monsplasty – The mons, also called the mons pubis or mons venus, is the area directly above a woman’s external genitalia. Mons is Latin for mound and for most women this area is slightly raised. Women with excessive skin left after weight loss or due to genetics may desire monsplasty for a smoother, more feminine appearance.

Mons Reduction – Mons reduction is similar to monsplasty, but uses liposuction for reduction. This procedure is appropriate when there is excess fatty tissue under the skin, but no overlying skin flap.
