Labiaplasty in Michigan

There are a number of benefits that our patients can expect from their labiaplasty procedure. Some of the most significant benefits include:

• Greater confidence in your physical appearance, particularly in intimate moments or when wearing a bikini or other tight clothing
• Increased comfort when wearing snug-fitting pants or leggings
• An increase in sexual pleasure and arousal, and a decrease in any pain experienced during sexual intimacy
• A decrease in physical pain and irritation, not just during sex but also during activities like jogging or cycling
• Improved health and hygiene, including a lower risk of urinary tract infections
• Correction of an oversized or sagging labia, particularly following pregnancy and childbirth (Ask about getting a labiaplasty as part of your Mommy Makeover.)

In short, vaginal rejuvenation can be a tremendous boost to your self-esteem and the quality of your intimate life.

Labia Minora Reduction

The first option to consider is what is known as labia minora reduction. This is the most common form of labiaplasty, and refers to a reduction in the size of the vagina’s inner lips. If you feel like the inner lips of your vagina extend too far past the outer lips, this is likely the type of vaginal rejuvenation that is right for you.

Labia Majora Reduction

For other patients, it is more appropriate to pursue a labia majora reduction, which decreases the size of the outer lips. Women who have lax or enlarged outer lips may feel “bulky” in their bikini or underwear. A labia majora reduction is often the best way to correct this problem.

Clitoral Hood Reduction

The clitoral hood reduction is a type of vaginal rejuvenation best for women who experience an excess of skin or hooding, along the top of the clitoris. This unnecessary skin, or hood, can be surgically trimmed away, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and preventing that “bulky” feeling.

Labial Fat Grafting

As women age, their skin becomes more lax, resulting in wrinkles and saggy skin. This happens not just to the face, but potentially to the pubic mound, as well. Sometimes, the effects can extend down to the labia majora, making sexual intercourse more difficult. Labial fat grafting offers a long-lasting solution.

Pricing includes Anesthesia and Facility fees.

The Consultation

The first step in the vaginal rejuvenation process is to join Dr. Mariam Awada for a consultation. During this appointment, the doctor will listen carefully as you explain your needs and goals, and recommend some treatment options that are right for you. She will also assess your overall physical health, ensuring you are a good candidate for surgery.

What Should I Do in Preparation?

During your consultation, Dr. Mariam Awada will provide you with any instructions that will help you prepare for the procedure. For example, you may be advised to discontinue medications that can contribute to bleeding. You will also be advised to cease using any kind of tobacco products in the lead-up to surgery.

How Long Does a Labiaplasty Procedure Take?

The duration of your labiaplasty will depend on the type of labiaplasty you get. As a rule of thumb, you can anticipate a procedure that lasts roughly an hour.

What is it Like During Surgery? Is it Painful?

At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, your comfort and safety are our top concerns. We do not want you to experience any pain during the labiaplasty procedure. As such, we furnish a range of anesthesia options. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask during your consultation with us.

What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery?

During the early recovery period, you can expect some swelling as well as some itching. Both of these are very normal side effects of the surgery and will fade over a few days. Most women will feel back to normal within a week or so, but plan on allowing yourself several days to let your body rest and heal.

How Long Before I Can Start Having Sex After My Labiaplasty?

We generally recommend that patients wait about six to eight weeks before engaging in any kind of sexual activity. (It will be worth the wait!)
