Labiaplasty in Phoenix, AZ
Genetics, hormones, aging, pregnancy, and childbirth can affect the appearance and feeling of the female genital area. Changes to the size and shape of the labia minora can not only cause pain and discomfort but can also affect confidence levels. Labiaplasty reduces enlarged labia to restore a smaller, smoother appearance and ensure more comfort during day-to-day activities.
What Labiaplasty Can Achieve
Discomfort Reduction
Enlarged labia can cause irritation, pain, and discomfort during even simple, everyday activities such as walking. This pain can significantly affect your quality of life and can only be addressed by undergoing labiaplasty. By reducing the size of the labia, it will no longer pinch or pull while you’re trying to go about your daily life.
Improved Appearance
The inner folds of the labia often protrude below the outer folds. This can cause the area to appear bulky or stretched. Occasionally, the two sides of the labia may be different sizes. This asymmetry can cause emotional discomfort and/or physical irritation. Labiaplasty can help balance the proportions of the labia with the rest of the vulva. By restoring symmetry, Dr. Boll can help you to feel more comfortable.
Increased Confidence
When your most intimate areas are causing you pain and discomfort, you may find that you struggle to wear clothes you love. Intimate encounters may also cause you stress. By addressing the size of the labia, finding clothing that fits well becomes much easier, and intimate moments become enjoyable once again.
Labiaplasty Options
Trim
With the trim technique, Dr. Boll makes an incision and removes the outer edges of the labia. This will reduce the inner labia to be more even or protrude less from the outer labia.
Wedge
When utilizing the wedge technique, Dr. Boll removes a V-shaped wedge from each side of the labia minora. She then stitches the edges together to tighten and reduce the labia.
Wedge With Clitoral Hood Reduction
This is a combination of a wedge excision plus trimming the excess skin from the outside aspect of the clitoral hood to improve both areas at the same time.
Concerns
Recovery
As with most procedures, recovery times can vary. Most patients will experience levels of pain and discomfort, though these can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Swelling and bruising are common, but they will subside with time and rest.
Light daily activities can be resumed after the first week or so, but more strenuous activities (such as exercise) should be avoided until after Dr. Boll clears you to resume them. Patients should also stay on complete pelvic rest for at least six weeks.
Dr. Boll will provide a detailed list of aftercare instructions to help minimize discomfort and maximize results.
Scars
Due to the small size of the incisions and the appearance of the labia, any scars will be virtually unnoticeable. Any scarring that is visible will fade with time.
Cost
During your consultation, Dr. Boll will provide you with a detailed estimate of the costs for your procedure. Our office also offers options for financing and prepayment.
Pain
While there is no pain during the procedure due to the anesthesia, you are likely to experience some pain and discomfort during your recovery. Pain levels can vary but should be manageable with pain medication. If you feel that your pain levels are more severe than they should be, contact our office immediately.
