Labiaplasty in Nashville, Clarksville, & Murray

Labiaplasty is a vaginal rejuvenation procedure that addresses aesthetic concerns due to pregnancy, labor, or the natural aging process.

Rejuvenation Down Under

Over time, the labia minora (inner lips) can expand, become asymmetric, enlarged, or darkly pigmented. The labia majora (outer lips) can lose their natural volume. A labiaplasty can involve the labia minora, the labia majora, or both. Labiaplasty can help women restore a more youthful-looking and feeling vaginal area, improving self-confidence. Women who would like to improve the appearance of their vaginal area or desire vaginal tightening might be a good candidate for labiaplasty with diVa.

Females in otherwise good health are ideal for the procedure. A Labiaplasty Can:

Restore natural contours
Reduce excess labia minora tissue
Volumize the labia majora
Increase sexual satisfaction
Boost self-confidence and self-image

Labiaplasty Procedure

Your labiaplasty in Nashville will be done as a short, outpatient procedure in our top-of-the-line surgical center. You’ll be given local anesthetic and IV sedation, and Dr. Harris will make a small incision hidden in the natural folds of your skin. Excess inner labia tissue is trimmed, and the outer labia may be filled with autologous fat (fat from your own body).

Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can be done in as little as one hour. Often, this procedure is combined with the diVa vaginal rejuvenation procedure to provide increased tone and natural lubrication to the vaginal vault and to improve stress urinary incontinence.

Labiaplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for labiaplasty?

Good candidates for labiaplasty include women experiencing discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness due to the size or shape of their labia. This procedure is also suitable for those who have noticed changes in their labia due to childbirth, aging, or injury. Candidates should be in good general health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

What is the difference between labia minora and labia majora in labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty can be performed on both the labia minora and the labia majora. The labia minora are the inner lips of the vulva, which can sometimes be enlarged or asymmetrical, leading to discomfort or aesthetic concerns. Labiaplasty of the labia minora typically involves reducing their size. The labia majora are the outer lips, which can be enlarged for improved contour or rejuvenation if they are sagging or deflated.

What type of anesthesia is used for labiaplasty surgery?

Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring that patients are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used depending on the patient's preferences and the complexity of the surgery.

What kind of results can I expect from labiaplasty, and how long do they last?

Labiaplasty typically results in a more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable labial appearance. Results are usually permanent, although future pregnancies, aging, or weight fluctuations may gradually alter the appearance over time.

Is labiaplasty painful, and how is discomfort managed post-surgery?

Labiaplasty is generally not considered very painful. Post-surgery discomfort is usually mild and can be effectively managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications. Ice packs and resting can also help reduce swelling and improve comfort during the initial recovery period.

When can I resume normal activities, including sexual intercourse, after labiaplasty?

Patients can usually resume light activities within a few days, but it's advised to avoid strenuous exercise for at least four to six weeks. Sexual intercourse and the use of tampons should be avoided for about six weeks to allow for proper healing and to prevent complications.

Can labiaplasty improve hygiene?

Labiaplasty can help improve hygiene for some women. Excess tissue in the labial area can trap moisture and bacteria, leading to repeated infections or discomfort. Reducing this tissue can make it easier to maintain cleanliness and may reduce the occurrence of yeast and bacterial infections.

Will labiaplasty affect my sensation?

Labiaplasty should not adversely affect sensation when performed correctly. The goal of the surgery is to improve the labial appearance and resolve any functional issues while preserving nerve function. However, as with any surgery involving delicate tissue, there is a risk of altered sensation, which is typically temporary.

How do I care for the surgical site after labiaplasty?

Postoperative care is crucial for a successful recovery. You will need to keep the surgical area clean and dry, apply any prescribed ointments, and possibly take oral antibiotics to prevent infection. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing and avoiding direct pressure on the area helps with healing. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon will ensure that you are healing properly.
