Labiaplasty
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Eau Claire and Wisconsin
Although it isn’t discussed a lot, many women worry about the appearance of their labia, which may cause them to feel less confident. Our professional staff wants to help women feel more attractive and comfortable with vaginal rejuvenation surgery to improve the shape and size of the labia. The labia, which are the external lips of the vaginal area, may look larger or have hanging skin caused by natural aging, childbirth, pregnancy, or physical trauma. A labiaplasty is a surgery that reduces the size of the labia majora and/or minora for a more normal appearance. This could eliminate irritation and discomfort while raising confidence and sexual pleasure. Come in for a consultation at Premier Surgical Arts to hear more about the benefits of a labiaplasty, and find out if you may be a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation surgery.

Labiaplasty Expectations
You will need about one week to heal after your labiaplasty to allow discomfort and swelling to fade away before returning to work. Our team suggests applying a cold compress or ice pack as needed to decrease inflammation. You should not have sexual activity or use tampons for at least 4 – 6 weeks after your procedure. Patients typically notice visible results in around six weeks with final results closer to six months following surgery. The improvements of a labiaplasty are long-lasting, but weight fluctuations, natural aging, and childbirth can impact the results.
Comfortable and Confident
Every vagina is not exactly alike, and many elements may play into the appearance of the outer labia.

FAQs
Does labiaplasty affect intercourse?
Labiaplasty, when performed by a skilled surgeon, will only improve sexual intercourse. In many cases, the excess skin and tissue that may have gotten in the way during sex before will now be removed. The clitoral region will be protected and the sensory nerves will be preserved so that sexual intercourse is not impacted negatively.
Does labiaplasty surgery cause insensitivity?
As with any surgery, there may be numbness in the vaginal area after the procedure is completed. This is temporary as the skin and vaginal lips heal. In regards to sensitivity, it is essential to understand that labia rejuvenation affects, for the most part, the vaginal lips only. The clitoris serves sensitivity. A skilled cosmetic surgeon who specializes in labiaplasty will work around this area so that a loss of sensitivity does not occur.
What is the recovery process like after a labiaplasty?
Before your surgery, a Premier Surgical Arts team member will go over what to expect after your labiaplasty plus tips to make your recovery more comfortable. You will have some swelling and bruising in the treated areas and a certain amount of discomfort immediately after your procedure. It would help to rest for at least a week before resuming light activities. Your recovery will be evaluated during your check-up appointments and we will let you know when you can resume exercise and sexual activity.
