Labiaplasty
Large and/or elongated labia minora (nymphae) may be inconvenient and troublesome in a variety of situations. Many surgeons select a straightforward amputation procedure to reduce the size of these structures, but the procedure Dr. Laverson performs is designed to accomplish much more. Our labiaplasty combines more sophisticated elements for a finer, feminine result. Sensitivity of the labial skin surface is preserved for sexual function. The final shape, more petite and aligned with the labia majora, is natural. Visible scars and deformity are avoided. Pigment transition from darker outer skin to pink inner labial and vaginal surfaces are aligned naturally.
Although we prefer NOT to photograph our patient’s genitalia and post these results online, women have been pleased with the outcome in each of the many labiaplasty procedures performed in our office. We use local anesthesia, so you will be awake during the operation. You will have the opportunity to look at the appearance as we progress, and contribute your opinion. San Diego Plastic Surgeon,Dr. Laverson, has never been asked to revise (remove more or further restore) any labiaplasty. Swelling slowly resolves afterward. Post-surgical care involves use of a pad until there is no longer spotting (usually several days), application of antibiotic ointment, and gentle bathing. Trauma to the perineum (bike riding, horse riding, sexual activity) should be avoided until these activities become comfortable, usually several weeks.
