With the help of a labiaplasty Mobile patients can improve the look of their inner and/or outer labia. Many patients have enjoyed the results of this popular type of vaginal rejuvenation. Aging, genetics, and childbirth can affect the appearance of a woman’s vagina. Women often choose to reverse changes to their labia through a plastic surgery procedure called labiaplasty. This surgery focuses on restoring a more natural appearance to the labia by reducing length, thickness, discoloration, and asymmetry. Women get labiaplasty due to a number of reasons. The look of the labia can cause embarrassment and self-consciousness in intimate situations. Labia that are elongated, enlarged, or asymmetrical can also cause physical discomfort while wearing certain clothing or performing physical activities like exercise and sexual intercourse.
Before the date of their procedure in Mobile labiaplasty patients will meet with Dr. Chris Park or Dr. Ryan Rebowe for a consultation. The doctor will listen to their concerns regarding their vagina, give their honest input, and then plan out the procedure to help them get the results they deserve. Make sure to be straightforward and honest about your expectations.
Your medical history will be evaluated, including allergies, health conditions, and relevant past surgical treatments. The doctor will conduct a physical exam. The surgical plan will be thoroughly explained, and vital details will be discussed, such as various fees, preparation, the procedure, and the recovery period. You are encouraged to ask questions at any point during the consultation. Once the schedule for your labiaplasty is set, you will be provided with preparatory instructions, including the necessary arrangements you will need to make for your surgery and recovery. Labiaplasty is a very safe procedure and can take one to two hours. After anesthesia is given to make sure you’re comfortable, very small incisions will be made in specific locations. Your doctor will perform labiaplasty using the technique that best fits your need and goals. The most common option is the trim technique, where the doctor trims the edges of the labia. Another popular option is the wedge technique, where a wedge of tissue is removed and the tissues around it are reconnected. Fine stitches are then used to close the incision.
Ideally, any woman who is well into her adulthood can choose to undergo labiaplasty. If you want to rejuvenate your labia, are in overall good health, and have realistic expectations, you may be an ideal candidate. Women who are not satisfied with the aesthetics of their vagina are often excellent candidates for labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is usually done in situations where the inner labia extend much farther than the outer layer. If you’ve recently given birth, chances are that your labia minora have experienced tears, which can be fixed with labiaplasty. The effects of aging on the labia can also be made inconspicuous through this surgery. Labiaplasty is appropriate for women who can take a leave of absence from their work. Candidates must be prepared to avoid certain activities during their recovery period, including sexual activities, sports, and heavy exercise.
Preoperative Considerations
After your labiaplasty Mobile surgeons will guide you on the best ways to recover and heal. Follow their directions as closely as possible for a more comfortable recovery. Basic instructions for recovery include regularly cleaning the incision area, wearing loose underwear, and avoiding sexual intercourse and other physical activities. You will experience a minor degree of bruising and swelling. Prescriptions and recovery instructions will be provided for a safe and smooth recovery process. You will need assistance for the first couple days of recovery. In most cases, physical activities will be allowed after three weeks. However, sexual activities will only be allowed after around six weeks of recovery. It will take at least three months before you will be able to see the full results of your labiaplasty surgery.
A common concern among those pursuing plastic surgery is the appearance of post-surgical scarring. It is important to note that many elements of scarring are genetic, and there are some people predisposed to forming widened or thickened scars. However, there are known interventions that if followed can significantly reduce the size and visibility of the post-surgical scar.
By choosing PR Plastic Surgery for your procedure, you have already taken the first step by choosing board-certified plastic surgeons who are meticulous in their technique and wound closure. Thankfully, our patients also have the resources of the PR MedSpa and the expertise of our aestheticians to ensure the most favorable surgical outcomes.
For optimal scar treatment and healing, both Drs. Park and Rebowe, and our aestheticians highly recommend two therapies available through our MedSpa. Once cleared by your surgeon, our MedSpa staff will assist you in transitioning to these therapies.
Works as a protective barrier that seals in hydration and limits excess collagen production, the root cause of abnormal and raised scars. This treatment is offered in the form of either silicone scar cream or silicone sheeting. The silicone cream will have additional benefits to scar reduction, including moisturizer and sunscreen. The cream dries to form a medical-grade silicone barrier that is flexible and lightweight. The silicone sheets have the additional benefit of added pressure to the scar. We recommend that the silicone cream be applied twice daily, and the silicone sheets are worn daily for up to 24 hours. Silagen Silicone Treatment is usually recommended for a minimum of 2-4 weeks following suture removal, or per physician recommendation. Some patients may utilize Silagen silicone up to one year post surgery for optimal results.
Consists of two powerful devices that can reduce scars and scar tissue, the Vbeam Perfecta and the Erbium laser.
The Vbeam Perfecta Laser reduces the appearance of scars by decreasing the erythematous, or red pigment. Inflamed scar tissue has more active blood cells than normal skin and the wavelength of this device targets the red pigment specifically, reducing the inflammation and therefore scarring. Clinical studies show that 100% of scars treated with Vbeam Perfecta Laser show visible improvement.
After the Vbeam, we use the Erbium Laser to blend the transition to native skin and compliment the results. By heating the subcutaneous tissue, the laser stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in tightened and rejuvenated skin around the scar. Not only will the scar itself fade and diminish, but the edges of the scar will more effectively blend into the surrounding skin. Laser scar therapy has proven to speed up the recovery process post-surgery.
Your surgeon and our aestheticians at the PR MedSpa will assist you in choosing the correct post-surgery scar treatment pathway for you following your surgery.
