Labiaplasty & Vaginal Rejuvenation

Just like the rest of the body, the vaginal region changes as the body ages and responds to events like pregnancy. While some of these changes to the vaginal canal, vaginal opening, labia majora and labia minora are purely cosmetic, it is also possible to experience unwanted physical symptoms. These can include vaginal dryness, vaginal laxity, incontinence and even discomfort or pain during intercourse. Fortunately, labiaplasty and other vaginal rejuvenation procedures can address these concerns and restore the vagina to a more youthful state.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a female genital cosmetic surgery and surgical procedure that reduces the size of the labia minora, also called the vaginal lips. When too long or large, the labia minora can cause discomfort and even pain during exercise, intercourse, or while wearing certain clothes. This vaginal rejuvenation consists of trimming this tissue and excess skin, and ensures patients can enjoy an enhanced appearance, increased confidence and sexual satisfaction, and improved comfort.

We will apply general anesthesia or local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?

The cost of a labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation treatments can vary, although the price averages around $3,000. It is important to note that this treatment is not typically covered by insurance, as most insurance providers consider it an elective procedure. Fortunately, there are financing options available that can help make this treatment more affordable.

What Can I Expect After Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery?

After a labiaplasty, patients are encouraged to take about a week off from their usual activities. During this time, there may be some soreness and swelling. Patients must avoid intercourse and the use of tampons for a full six weeks following their labiaplasty. After this period, however, almost all of the swelling will be gone and patients can enjoy the improved appearance and comfort of their vaginal region.
