Labiaplasty in Fayetteville

A labiaplasty is a body sculpting procedure that reduces the size of the labia minora, or the skin folds surrounding the vagina and urethra. Excess skin in this area may impact your life in many ways, from feeling self-conscious during sexual activity to avoiding participating in certain sports.

Luckily, procedures like labiaplasty can ensure that the labia minora do not protrude excessively. If you are interested in a labiaplasty in Fayetteville, our expert and empathetic team at Advanced Aesthetics can support you throughout the process.

Why Patients Seek Out a Labiaplasty

Patients seek out labiaplasty for several reasons, including the following:

Medical and Physical Reasons

The labia can become oversized as a result of puberty, menopause, pregnancy and childbirth, weight changes, and genetics. Some patients want to reduce the size of the labia minora for hygiene reasons.

Excess tissue in this area can make cleaning more difficult and harbor bacteria that result in urinary tract infections (UTIs). For some patients, excess labial tissue can cause physical discomfort or irritation during exercise, physical activities, or sexual intercourse.

Emotional and Cosmetic Reasons

Some patients are bothered by the uneven shape of their labia minora and are interested in a labiaplasty to increase symmetry. Another reason for seeking out a labiaplasty is to improve comfort and confidence during sexual encounters. It is important to remember that the labia comes in all shapes and sizes, and no one appearance is considered normal.

Reconstructive and Gender-Affirming Care

Your surgeon can create labia using existing genital tissue as one part of the reconstructive surgery process.

Labiaplasty Techniques

Our team will work with you to determine which type of procedure will best fit you, whether that is the trim, wedge, or clitoral hood reduction procedure.

Trim Procedure

This is the most common labiaplasty approach. It involves removing excess tissue from the outer edge of one or both sides of the labia minora to make them even with or inside the labia majora.

Wedge Procedure

This technique involves removing a pie-shaped piece of tissue from inside one or both sides of the labia minora. Because the wrinkled edge of the labia remains intact, it results in a more natural appearance.

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Often done as part of a trim procedure, this reduces a bulge in the labia minora to create a more balanced appearance. Along with aesthetic benefits, this procedure can restore clitoral function and enhance intimacy.

What To Expect During the Procedure

Your surgeon will explain your labiaplasty procedure in detail so you can understand what will happen and ask any questions you may have. We want you to feel confident about each step of the process.

Your labiaplasty will be scheduled in our Fayetteville surgery center or office after your menstrual cycle. The procedure length will vary based on your needs, but it typically takes around two hours. Excess skin and tissue will be removed after your surgeon makes the initial incision. The incision is typically closed with dissolvable sutures.

Labiaplasty Recovery and Results

After your labiaplasty in Fayetteville, you should plan on taking about one week of downtime. Your doctor will provide instructions on how best to care for yourself during your recovery period. Typically, the total healing time is around six to eight weeks.
