Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedures in Ventura County

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape as well as reduces the size of the lips on the outside of the vagina. These lips are known as the Labia Minora.

Why Have This Procedure?

Some women are born with irregular or large labia. Other women can develop this after childbirth. It can be just a sign of aging. Enlarged labia can be an embarrassment for some women. The appearance of an out of shape or large labia causes them to lose their self-esteem. 

Chronic Labial Irritation

Chronic labial irritation is caused by wearing clothing that is too tight. This can cause discomfort when having sex, playing sports or any other physical activity.

Labiaplasty can change the appearance, shape, and size of the labia. After the surgery, those women who have irritated, painful labia will find relief. Self-esteem will also be restored.

Major Reasons for this Procedure

There are two major reasons for having this surgery:

• Cosmetic Reasons:  Women are often embarrassed or unhappy with their labia. This can affect their sexual relationships.

• Medical Reasons: An enlarged labia can cause discomfort when wearing tight clothes and during sexual activity and.

What If You Have Not Had Children?

Often women want to know if they can get a labiaplasty even when they have not had any children. The answer is yes. If the enlarged labia causes unhappiness or physical discomfort due to its appearance, you should look into having the procedure done. This cosmetic surgery changes the way you look on the outside of the vagina, not the inside, like vaginoplasty.

Where Is This Performed and How Long it Takes?

This is done in a surgical suite for outpatients located at Vaginal Rejuvenation Center in Ventura County. The labiaplasty procedure takes up 2 hours. Another hour is usually spent in the recovery room under the watchful eye of a Registered Nurse. Most patients can return to work in 2 to 4 days after the procedure.

Surgery Itself

The labiaplasty surgery has been performed under conscious sedation using a short acting medication known as Diprovan (propophol). You are asleep during the surgery and will usually wake up minutes after the surgery is finished. You will not need to be intubated or paralyzed during the surgery.

Risks or Discomfort

There are some risks with having this procedure done, however, they are extremely rare. One of them is having an infection. There will be some discomfort at the site of the surgery for a few days but it will then gradually decrease. You will receive pain medication and often antibiotics. In approximately 6 weeks, you will be totally healed. All the sutures are the absorbable ones, so there is need for them to be removed.

Post Op Visits

Postoperative visits for local patients are recommended at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, to make certain that the healing is going well. For those patients from out of town, it is recommended there be a postoperative visit at 3 to 4 weeks.
