What Is Labiaplasty?
Although it's not often discussed, many women have concerns about the appearance of their labia, which may make them feel less confident. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch wants to help Tuscaloosa, AL women feel more comfortable and attractive with this vaginal rejuvenation procedure that is performed to correct the size and shape of the labia. The labia, which are the external lips of the vaginal area, may look stretched or have hanging skin created by genetics, natural aging, pregnancy, childbirth, or an injury. A labiaplasty decreases the size of the labia majora and/or minora for an improved appearance. This may minimize irritation and discomfort while increasing sexual pleasure and confidence. Schedule a consultation at our Tuscaloosa, AL office to learn more about the benefits of a labiaplasty and see if you may be a candidate.
How Is Labiaplasty Performed?
Most procedures for the labia can be performed in our office under local anesthesia, so you can drive yourself to and from our office. Dr. Bunch can talk about your treatment plan and time estimates at your consultation so you can make arrangements, if needed, prior to your appointment. A labiaplasty is most often done with the trim technique to cut away loose tissue, then the remaining skin is sutured so it is taut. In some cases, the clitoral hood may also be addressed to ensure a balanced and natural appearance. This involves reducing excess tissue around the clitoral hood to enhance overall aesthetic harmony.
For those interested, fat grafting is also a premium option. This process involves using your own fat, typically from areas like the abdomen or thighs, to add volume and smoothness to the labia. This technique can enhance both the appearance and comfort of the labia, offering natural-looking results with minimal risk of rejection since the fat comes directly from your body body. It’s a great option for those looking for a subtle, more refined outcome.
