Labiaplasty at Dr. Thomas E. Vaughan, MD

For some women, elongated labia minora can cause physical discomfort and self-consciousness. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that can alleviate symptoms such as twisting, tugging, itching, and irritation by reducing the size of the labia minora.

Benefits of Labiaplasty

• Reduces discomfort during physical activities
• Improves comfort during intercourse
• Addresses asymmetry between labia
• Enhances self-confidence

The Labiaplasty Procedure

Labiaplasty involves reducing the length of one or both sides of the labia minora. The most common technique is the trim procedure, where excess tissue is removed and the area is closed with absorbable sutures. The surgery is performed at Dr. Vaughan's state-of-the-art surgical center.

Recovery After Labiaplasty

Most patients take approximately one week off work. To reduce swelling and pain, patients are advised to use cold packs and keep the bottom elevated. While significant swelling subsides within 6 weeks, residual swelling may take up to six months to fully resolve.
