So, what exactly is labiaplasty (or labioplasty)? Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure of the labia majora and labia minora which are both external folds of skin surrounding the vulva. Labiaplasty involves the reduction of an elongated labium and is typically part of a vaginoplasty.

In addition to reducing the size of labia, a labiaplasty may also be done to repair the labia after injury, childbirth, or disease. A hoodectomy may also be performed at the same time. This exposes the clitoris in an effort to increase sexual stimulation.

In the past, surgeons performed labium reduction via straight amputation of the protuberant sections and then suturing the edges together. This method had it’s problems however, and now surgeons use lasers with a more refined technique.

Labiaplasty is done while the patient is under local anesthesia and it is an outpatient procedure. Post surgery, patients may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, however these are both typically gone after a week or two. The recovery time for a labiaplasty usually ranges from three days to a few weeks.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks with labiaplasty. In approximately five to seven cases out of every 100, additional treatment is necessary.

Over the last few years, labiaplasty is growing in popularity. Most patients request labiaplasty for functional or aesthetic reasons and many complain that elongated labia causes pain during exercise, sexual intercourse, or during extended periods of sitting.

If you’re considering a labiaplasty, it’s recommended that you research the plastic surgeons in your area and meet with them for a consultation. Not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure, and it’s important that you do your homework prior to having this (or any) procedure done.

Women of all ages and all walks of life want to be beautiful, maybe for their selves or maybe for their love ones. No matter what your motivation is, it is important to know what options you have, just like in the case of Labioplasty.

Here are 10 easy to remember facts on labioplasty that will help you understand how such procedure can make you a better you!

• Labioplasty is also known as Labiaplasty. It is a cosmetic procedure which centers on reducing the length or general size of the vagina’s labia majora or minora. Labia minora is also known as the woman’s “inner lips” while labia major is the “outer lips”.

• In reality, women have different labia majora and minora sizes. Although this is normal, some have such long sizes that it leads to embarrassment, frustration and low self esteem. Labioplasty shrinks the size of this area so that the inner or outer lips do not protrude as much and consequently produces a more pleasing look.

• The reasons for undergoing labioplasty or any other vaginal surgery for that matter could vary from aesthetic to functional. Aesthetic concerns include excessive length, asymmetry between the two labias, and loose labia skin. On the other hand, functional concerns involve displeasure and discomfort during sex and inability to wear certain types of clothing.

• The main objective of labial reduction or labioplasty is to decrease the labia’s size through the removal of excess skin. This is conducted through Iris scissors, scalpel or laser. The choice of method is up to the surgeon’s preference.

• Labioplasty generally takes an hour or so to complete. Some patients need to stay overnight in the hospital while others may go home on the same day as the surgery was performed.

• After the successful labioplasty, the patient is obliged to wear loose undergarments and is also asked to put a panty liner for two weeks.

• Women who have undergone labioplasty or other vaginal procedure are immediately prohibited to engage in sexual activity for six weeks.

• The risks in this vaginal surgery are minimal and most often, it is due to an adverse reaction to anesthesia. A patient may induce bleeding, swelling, bruising, infection and scarring.

• The scarring brought about by this procedure is usually undetectable once healing has occurred.

• On the other hand, there are also side effects directly brought about by Labioplasty. For instance, a patient may feel unsatisfied with the procedure. This is most likely caused by unmet or unrealistic expectations. Other side effects include pain during urination and loss of sensation in the operated area.

In no time, you’ll be hitting the beach in the sexiest bikini. All thanks to this simple vaginal procedure called labioplasty.

When compared to major surgery such as heart operations or an appendectomy, labiaplasty is fairly safe and routine. Still, it’s quite common for a person to experience some fear and anxiety before undergoing the procedure. And this is probably a good thing, because labiaplasty, like all plastic surgery, involves certain risks, slight though they may be. But it’s not just the surgery: There are other issues, such as cost and the feelings of others, that cause some women to experience some anxiety before they go in for their labiaplasty. So let’s consider some of these fears, and what you can do to ease them a bit.

First, to take away the anxiety about costs, make sure you understand ahead of time how much the total cost will be. Labiaplasty is actually less expensive than many other forms of plastic surgery, but it’s definitely more than pocket change. In addition, you need to make yourself aware of what will be involved in post-op care (including the hiring of child care for a couple of days, buying magazines to read as you’re lying in bed, and so forth). Then find out what your options are for paying for these things. Will insurance cover it? If not, do you have enough in your savings? Will you get a loan? Knowing how you’ll handle the expense ahead of time will do much to relieve this stress.

It’s common to worry about how your sexual partner is going to feel about the procedure. That’s why many women find it smart to talk with them ahead of time. Ask their thoughts and weigh them carefully. In the end, the decision is totally yours, but it will put your mind more at ease if you find out that he’s supporting you in the decision.

Now let’s deal with fears of the procedure itself. One of the most important steps is to spend some time, an hour or more, if necessary, with the surgeon. Ask her what’s involved, and ask her to be as detailed as you need her to be. Find out how experienced she is with this particular procedure. You’ll feel a lot better about this if you find a surgeon for whom this is truly a routine procedure. Ask to see some photos, as these will further put your mind at ease, if you see some good results.

Some patients feel more at ease with labiaplasty if they’ve researched the subject themselves. This means going on the Internet and finding out as much as possible about the procedure. It also might involve finding people who have gone through the operation already. Maybe you have friends who have had a labiaplasty, or maybe your surgeon can refer you to previous patients who don’t mind being contacted. Previous patients can offer peace of mind like nothing else.

Labiaplasty is really not something that you should let worry you too much. Find out about the process and find out how well equipped you are to handle the issues related to the operation and you’ll feel much better when the big day finally arrives.

There are a number of reasons for a woman to seek vaginal surgery. The reasons could vary from aesthetic to functional. Whatever vaginal surgery it is you want to undertake, it is always best to arm yourself with the apt information.

Here is an informative run-down on the kinds of vaginal surgery that patients can avail.

Vaginoplasty or Vaginal Rejuvenation

The purpose of this type of vaginal surgery is to tighten loose tissues and muscles as well as to strip off excess vaginal skin. This results to a narrowed vagina diameter which consequently tightens the opening of vaginal canal. The tightening could be performed few centimeters before the vagina opening or even the entire extent of the vagina.

Perineoplasty or Perineorrhaphy

The perceptible area between the rectum and the vagina is termed the perineum. This is the area where episiotomies are slash and where rips during childbirth are most frequent. Perineoplasty (or Perineorrhaphy) has an objective of making this area look normal by cutting out excess skin and flaccid skin tags. In addition, underlying muscles and the perineal area sawed even closer to provide a more secure feeling in the vaginal opening. This procedure is almost always accompanied by vaginoplasty since the same area is being worked on.

Labiaplasty Minora or Labial Reduction

This vaginal surgery is performed to remove excess, uneven or flaccid labia minora. This condition often causes discomfort, rubbing and chronic irritation during sexual intercourse. Labia minora is the smaller interior of the vaginal lips. A lot of women request for this surgery in order to remove the appearance of a prominent labia when wearing certain kinds of clothing (e.g. swimsuits).

Labiaplasty Majora

The vulva’s broader outer lips can be engorged with excess tissue and skin in this vaginal surgery. This enlargement can bring embarrassment and discomfort. This vaginal surgery is done to reduce the labia majora’s size by excising its inner portion.

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Excess skin on the clitoris’ sides usually causes the clitoris to appear enlarged or uneven. Through vaginal surgery, the extra folds of skin on the side of the clitoris are removed.

Hymenoplasty

This vaginal surgery is the hymen’s reconstruction. This procedure is done to make the patient look virginal.

Incontinence Sling

The urethra is the tube where you often notice urine coming out. Just like the bladder, the structure may also fall down. Consequently, this would result to urine leakage whenever one coughs, jumps, laughs, or bends down. An incontinence sling helps remedy this condition thru careful vaginal surgery.

As technology advances and as the need arises, new types of vaginal surgeries can be developed.

I was recently reading about women who undertake labiaplasty in the quest for a designer vagina. This ‘designer vagina’ is what they imagine to be a ‘pretty’ version of a vagina, which it seems to have been decided, is a vagina where nothing ’sticks out’.

When I was 10 I was having a bath with my best friend when she pointed at my vagina and said: ‘why is there something sticking out?’

I had a look. ‘I don’t know!’ I said, and had a look at hers. Hmmm, nothing seemed to stick out of hers. This was puzzling. I felt instantly embarrassed and ashamed. Why was I different?

I stopped bathing with my friend and, as puberty progressed, the ’something sticking out’ got bigger and bigger. It worried me, but I didn’t know what it was or what to do about it.

When I was 11 I was lying in the bath with my legs splayed out when my mother walked in without knocking. ‘Gosh Love, I think you should lie the other way around, nobody wants to see’ she said.

‘Is there something wrong with me?’ I asked. ‘Why is there stuff sticking out?’

I could see that it cost my mother some effort to look. Instantly I felt a surge of shame. There must be something disgusting about me.

‘Well, it is very….PRONOUNCED’ she said, ‘but I’m sure the outside will grow and catch up and then it will stop sticking out.

As she left the bathroom, I looked at myself in horror. Something was dreadfully wrong with me. She hadn’t said it was normal. She had admitted that it was PRONOUNCED! I had seen the embarrassment and slight disgust on her face as she looked at me.

As the years passed the rest did grow and catch up a little, but not all the way. There would always be ’something sticking out.’ Through my teens and early twenties, I assumed I had ‘an ugly one’ and never shaved or trimmed my pubic hair, other than the essential bikini line. I thought that the more covered up I was the better. Even though I was well aware that men liked me just fine, I lacked confidence in nudity and always wondered when I was with a new partner if they would think something negative about me.

In hindsight I know that my mother would have been vaguely disgusted to look at ANYONE’S vagina, perhaps even her own. She had been brought up a strict catholic and told to throw powder on the surface of her bath water to save herself from the ’sin’ of looking at her own body. But of course, I imagined that it must be because I was so disgusting.

All Shapes And Sizes

It was only through seeing adult movies and the more explicit men’s magazines that I began to realise that everyone was different. Some had nothing sticking out, some had a bit, and others had a whole lot more! When I considered the many different shapes and sizes of penises I had come across, big ones, small ones, short fat ones, long thin ones, curved ones, pink ones, purple ones, I realised that there was no set standard that they all conformed to. Why wouldn’t it be the same with women?

Labiaplasty for Uniformity

When I heard about the designer vagina craze with women undergoing cosmetic vagina modification surgery in order to conform to a specific ideal, I decided to do some research. What I found surprised me. Far from being unusual, large labia minora occurs in about 36% of women and, just like comparing big breasts to small, the majority of men do not have a preference. However, where they DO state a preference it is usually FOR larger lipped women.

So where did women get the idea that there is a certain way that a vagina is supposed to look? Why is labiaplasty such a popular procedure? Where did the ideal of the designer vagina come from?

Playboy and the ‘Pretty’ Vagina

Playboy magazine is not a porn magazine; it is a booby magazine. It remains mainstream through its use of very discreet genital detail. In order for it to show genital detail very discreetly, it specifically chooses models that have very small tucked in labia minora for its regular edition magazine. If a woman has large inner labia she will be shown in a pose where this is hidden.

Since Playboy is so widely read and accessible women around the world have concluded that this image is what men want, and that this is what they should be conforming to. This is not the case. The only reason Playboy does not show protruding labia minora is because it is deemed TOO EXPLICIT! Not unsexy! If anything, it is TOO SEXY.

Penthouse on the other hand, which considers itself a hard-core magazine, shows protruding inner labia ALL THE TIME! And Playboy, in its special edition, does too.

Desperate for Labiaplasty

While doing research for this article I found numerous message boards with young girls saying how much they hate themselves and how desperate they are for labiaplasty surgery to make them look normal! I also found well-meaning replies from women with the same ‘problem’ telling the girls not to worry, if a man loves you, he will accept you ‘as you are’. Well there is something very wrong with this advice, as it assumes that there is SOMETHING TO ACCEPT! Something to tolerate! This is not the case! There is NOTHING wrong with you. You are PERFECT as you are!

Surgeons offering labiaplasty downplay the severity of labiaplasty surgery. However, this is serious stuff, requiring a multitude of drugs both during and after surgery, and a minimum of eight weeks of recovery time. EIGHT WEEKS where you cannot wear fitted underwear or tight clothes and cannot do vigorous exercise or have sex! You are also on addictive painkillers such as Vicodin! This is a massive trauma for the body. And as everyone knows, or should know, surgeries DO go wrong. This is not a part of your body you should ever be taking any chances with!

I have also read stories of women who underwent labiaplasty surgery because they had such large labia minora that it caused them pain and discomfort, and they were unable to even wear tight pants. This is a completely different issue, and just as with someone having a breast reduction surgery so that they can enjoy sports and become free from back and shoulder pain, I am fully supportive. The issue I am referring to here is women who are having labiaplasty surgery for purely cosmetic purposes, as they believe they are flawed the way they are.

I don’t believe you should simply accept yourself the way you are, I believe you need to LOVE yourself the way you are. And to do this, you must take action! Start thinking about your body in positive affirmations. Say things like ‘I have a beautiful vagina’ or ‘I love my vagina’. You can use any cutesy name you tend to call your vagina, whatever works for you. Say this to yourself dozens of times a day and continue to do so until you start to believe it. Along with your affirmations, start behaving as if you love it! Get a full bikini wax, or shave and trim your pubic hair into whatever style appeals to you, you can even get clip-on vaginal jewelery! Get proud of yourself. If you do have a partner who has tended to see things through the lens of Playboy conditioning, then tell him to get with the program or you might have to get with someone a lot more appreciative!

I assure you that appreciation is out there in abundance!

For many women, much like the breasts play an important role in your self image and emotional well-being, the genital region too play an important part. While many women are born with fairly normal labia minor, some are born with fairly large labia minor.

When it comes to the labia minor which are the thinner flaps of skin found on both sides of the vagina and whose purpose is the protection of the vaginal canal, these can be excessively large. In women who are born with enlarged labia minor, the act of giving birth can further enlarge them and with so many misconceptions associated with the labia minor, this can cause some serious emotional stress. The biggest misconception associated with the labia minor is that women whose labia minor are enlarged (camel toes) are loose and promiscuous. This of course is not true because women are born this way.

On another downside, if the labia minor become too large there may be some pain associated with them especially in the case of sexual intercourse and the wearing of tight clothing in which the labia minor get pinches and often have to deal with excessive friction they are not designed for.

As a remedy to this enlargement of the labia minor whether it is just one side or both, the labiaplasty was developed. In this procedure, the surgeon will reduce their size as well as make them symmetrical. In some cases you may even be given the option to have the completely removed.

Along with the labia minor, some women may also choose to have the labia major, the visible folds of skin covering the vagina, reduced in size as well as possibly removed completely. As part of ensuring symmetry of the vagina, the surgeon may also suggest a hoodectomy which actually serves two purposes. First off the reduction of the clitoral hood helps to maintain symmetry especially in the cases where there is a significant or complete reduction of the labia minor. Secondly, the reduction or removal of the clitoral hood helps to increase the stimulation of the clitoris and increase the pleasure of sexual intercourse for the woman who undergoes the procedure.

The extent of the procedure that you are willing to have done is entirely up to you to decide just keep in mind that some thing may just cost more so make sure you discuss costs with your surgeon prior to agreeing to undergo a labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation.
