Labiaplasty

(Minora and Majora)

Labiaplasty Treatment Transition

Surgical reshaping of the appearance of the external genitalia is known as Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a procedure that can help the many women feel self-conscious about the outward appearance of their genitalia.

They view their inner labia as abnormally long causing emotional or psychological distress during intimate encounters and/or while wearing tight-fitting clothing.

In other instances, women undergo a labiaplasty to alleviate symptoms that can arise from increased labia size including pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse as well as interference with exercise and normal daily activities.


Labia Minora

Labial minora reduction surgery involves a plastic surgery technique that reduces the large or uneven labia minora to a smaller, more comfortable size and shape.

The goal is to reduce the labia in a minimally invasive way and preserve the sensitivity and natural appearance of the labia with little to no scarring. The labial pigment can be preserved or removed depending on individual preference.

Labia Majora

The labia majora may have excess tissue due to genetics, childbirth, as part of the aging process or as a result of significant weight loss.

The excess tissue is excised with crescent shaped incisions hidden between the inner and outer labia not only reducing volume but also lifting the skin for a more youthful appearance.

Labia majora reduction is often performed in combination with other types of cosmetic gynecologic surgery such as vaginoplasty, hymenoplasty, or clitoral hood reduction.

Aviva Scarless Labiaplasty

hymenoplasty in Louisville

We are thrilled to introduce you to an exciting addition to our range of advanced aesthetic procedures

The Aviva Scarless Labiaplasty, performed by Dr. Warren with the innovative Aviva device, which is part of the Empower RF platform

This remarkable combination offers a transformative solution for women seeking scarless labiaplasty with outstanding results.

Aviva harnesses the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin in a non-invasive manner. This targeted energy delivery provides remarkable aesthetic improvements while ensuring patient comfort and safety. The Aviva device’s cutting-edge technology and Dr. Warren’s expertise in its utilization make for a winning combination in achieving outstanding outcomes.

We invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Warren to explore the possibilities of Aviva Scarless Labiaplasty or traditional surgical labiaplasty and choose the best approach for your needs.

Aviva scarless labiaplasty is a minimally invasive and non-surgical approach to labiaplasty. This treatment uses the Morpheus8 device and the Aviva handpeice, which combines microneedling and internal radiofrequency energy to reshape and tighten the labia majora and minora without the need for incisions or sutures.

During the treatment, the Morpheus8 device is applied to the treatment area, which creates micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles. The device also delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the tissues, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to tightening and firming of the skin. The Aviva handpiece is used for internal radiofrequency promoting a shrinkage in the tissues of the vulva including the labia minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, perineum and mons pubis.

The Aviva scarless labiaplasty treatment offers several benefits over traditional surgical labiaplasty, including:

  1. Non-surgical: The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any incisions or sutures, which reduces the risk of complications and shortens the recovery time.

  2. Scarless: Since no incisions are made, there is no scarring associated with the procedure.

  3. Improved Comfort: Patients typically experience little to no pain during the treatment, and there is minimal downtime, allowing them to return to their daily activities quickly.

  4. Improved Aesthetics: The treatment can improve the appearance of the labia by reducing sagging and asymmetry.

Overall, the Aviva scarless labiaplasty is a safe and effective option for women who are looking to improve the appearance of their labia without the risks and recovery time associated with traditional labiaplasty surgery.

Who is a good candidate for the Labiaplasty procedure?

Labiaplasty is suitable for women who are bothered by the size, shape, or asymmetry of their labia minora (the inner vaginal lips). Good candidates for this procedure include:

  • Women who experience physical discomfort during activities such as exercising, sexual intercourse, or wearing tight clothing due to enlarged labia.
  • Women who are unhappy with the aesthetic appearance of their labia and desire a more symmetrical or streamlined look.
  • Women who are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results.
  • Those who are over the age of 18 and have fully developed genitalia.

What can the patient expect before, during, and after the treatment?

Before

  • A consultation with Dr. Lori Warren to discuss goals, health history, and any concerns. Photos may be taken for reference.
  • Pre-operative instructions, including avoiding smoking, alcohol, or blood-thinning medications before surgery.
  • A discussion of anesthesia options (most cases are accomplished with a local anesthesia with the addition of Pro-Nox- nitrous gas)

During

  • The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.
  • Dr. Warren will remove excess tissue from the labia minora to achieve the desired shape and size. The procedure is done with radiofrequency energy to make precise incisions and closed with the use of tiny stitches.

After

  • Recovery time is typically 1-2 weeks for the initial healing phase. Most patients can resume light activities within the first few days. Patients may return to work within the first 3-4 days.
  • Post-operative care includes avoiding sexual intercourse, tampons, or heavy physical activity for 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
  • Swelling and bruising are common and mostly subside within the first two weeks. Some swelling may persist for six weeks.
  • A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to ensure proper healing at two and six weeks after the procedure.
