What to expect during a Vaginal Plastic Surgery:
A Labiaplasty in Virginia Beach is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited operating room. The operation can typically take around 1-2 hours, with a couple of hours in recovery following the procedure. You will be back in your own home recovering that same day.
During your Virginia Beach Labia reduction, your surgeon may use one of the following Labiaplasty techniques depending on what’s best for your individual treatment plan:
Labiaplasty Edge Technique
The edge technique typically removes, or trims, the outer edges of the labia. A Labiaplasty using the edge technique typically has the highest probability of noticeable scarring, but does address the pigment concerns a lot of people have with outermost skin tones of their vaginal lips.
Labiaplasty Wedge Technique
“V – shaped” wedge incisions are made during this Virginia Beach Labiaplasty technique on either side of the labia. The wedge is then stitched back together, which will reduce the biggest part of the labia. This technique is able to address both the length and the width of the vaginal lips. Some other advantages include less scarring and less sensitivity.
Labiaplasty De-epithelialization
This particular technique for Vaginal Plastic Surgery takes about 30 minutes to complete. It’s main advantage is to preserve the natural contours of the vaginal lips. However with this technique, the length of the vaginal lips remain the same, while the width, or thickness, is what is changed.
Z-plasty
Z-plasty is a Labiaplasty technique used with a primary focus on aesthetics of scarring and best function. It’s considered to be combined with the wedge technique and provides the same advantages.
Your recovery after a Labiaplasty with GBR Plastic Surgery
Patients who have had a Labiaplasty can typically return to work after one week, while strenuous activity and exercise can be resumed after four to six weeks. Swelling and bruising are common side effects seen following the procedure.
If a Labiaplasty is combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, or thighplasty, then recovery time may be different.
