What is labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora and/or labia majora, the inner and outer folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. Women seek labiaplasty for functional reasons (chronic irritation, discomfort during exercise or intercourse, difficulty with hygiene) as well as aesthetic concerns. It is one of the most commonly performed female genital cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States, with a significant increase in demand over the past decade.

Trim vs Wedge Technique?

Not all labiaplasties are alike. The two primary surgical approaches: the trim technique and the wedge technique, each have distinct advantages depending on your anatomy and goals.

The trim technique removes excess tissue along the free edge of the labia minora. It is straightforward, predictable, and often preferred when the primary concern is length or pigmentation along the labial edge.

The wedge technique removes a V-shaped section of tissue from the middle of the labia, preserving the natural edge. It is preferred when the patient wishes to maintain the natural contour and color of the labial border.

Dr. Zahedi has developed and published a clinical decision-making algorithm to guide this choice, helping surgeons and patients identify which technique produces the safest, most natural-looking result for each individual’s anatomy. Her algorithm was peer-reviewed and published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2023. During your consultation, Dr. Zahedi will evaluate your anatomy and discuss which approach is most appropriate for your goals.

Candidates, Recovery, and What to Expect

Good candidates for labiaplasty are adult women who experience physical discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or both related to the size or shape of their labia minora or majora.

Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good general health and have realistic expectations about outcomes.

Labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on patient preference and the extent of the procedure.

Most patients return to light activity within 3–5 days and resume exercise and sexual activity at 4–6 weeks. Swelling subsides gradually over 2–3 months, with final results visible at 3–6 months.

Dr. Zahedi performs labiaplasty at an accredited outpatient surgical facility for maximum safety and privacy.

Labiaplasty Cost

The cost of labiaplasty with an experienced medical team like Dr. Sanam Zahedi’s practice is competitively priced in Aventura, FL, addressing both aesthetic concerns and functional issues related to genital appearance. 

Women seeking this procedure often have realistic expectations about improving both the outer labia (labia majora) and inner labial areas, which can significantly enhance self esteem and overall comfort. The comprehensive evaluation process includes assessment of the clitoral hood region and vaginal opening area, taking into consideration factors such as natural aging effects and individual anatomy. 

During the initial consultation, the surgeon will review your complete medical history to ensure you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure, as proper patient selection and thorough pre-operative planning are essential for achieving optimal results and patient satisfaction.

Labiaplasty FAQ

~ Is labiaplasty really painful?

Labiaplasty may cause some swelling, discomfort, and pain. However, it is usually manageable with over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol®) or prescription pain relief for a day or two.

~ How long do the results of labiaplasty last?

Labiaplasty, when performed as a reduction surgery, is intended to be a one-time, long-lasting procedure. Unless complications occur, you likely won’t need to have the surgery again.

~ What is the purpose of labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure which aims to reduce or increase the size of the labia. People typically choose it to relieve physical discomfort, as part of gender-affirming surgery, or for cosmetic reasons. It’s important to note that there is a wide range of normal labia sizes.

~ What qualifies you for a labiaplasty?

To be a good candidate for labiaplasty, women should meet certain criteria. These include dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the labia major or minor. Additionally, discomfort or irritation caused by overly large labia may also qualify someone for the procedure.

~ How much does a labial reduction cost?

The cost of labiaplasty in the United States varies based on individual circumstances, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This amount excludes anesthesia, operating room fees, and other related costs. The final price may vary depending on factors such as your location, the surgeon’s experience, and the technique used.

What should patients expect from the recovery process and personalized care approach?

This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with recovery requiring at least a month before resuming all normal activities. The Aventura, FL practice provides personalized care tailored to each patient’s wishes, ensuring comprehensive support throughout the healing process and long-term satisfaction with results.

~ Will there be much bleeding from inner labia surgery?

Some bleeding or spotting is normal after inner labia surgery as the wound heals. This is usually light and temporary. However, if you experience heavy bleeding or notice issues like incision separation, excessive bleeding, or pus, it’s important to contact your surgeon for guidance.

What long-term psychological and wellness benefits can women expect from labiaplasty surgery?

Women often experience significant improvements in self esteem and genital appearance satisfaction after surgery. An experienced plastic surgeon addresses aesthetic concerns related to the outer labia (labia majora) and clitoral hood area, helping overcome emotional distress from natural aging effects. The evaluation includes reviewing medical history and setting realistic expectations about improving the vaginal opening area and overall intimate wellness, with many patients reporting enhanced comfort and quality of life long-term.
