A labiaplasty is a relatively short procedure in which the doctor surgically reduces excess tissue of the labia. He then evens out the edges of the labia minora and stitches the incised area with dissolving sutures. Once the procedure is complete, that excess labial tissue will not return, although the remaining tissue could stretch again if you have another child. Because this surgery is relatively fast, some patients take this opportunity to combine labiaplasty with other procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or liposuction.
You will come to our San Jose or Palo Alto surgical center, where Dr. Boudreault will perform the procedure. Labiaplasty can be performed with local anesthetic, and the process generally takes about an hour. You may experience some discomfort after the operation, but this discomfort is usually easily handled with standard painkillers or ice packs. Once the procedure is complete, you can go home. The stitches should dissolve within a week or two.
A labiaplasty is designed to treat elongated or enlarged labia that may result from childbirth, aging, or other health issues. In addition to helping improve hygiene, labiaplasty may improve comfort and function and restore self-confidence. During your consultation, Dr. Boudreault will review your specific situation and help determine if labiaplasty in San Jose or Palo Alto is the right procedure for you.
Several variables go into the cost of labiaplasty—your needs, your anatomy, the surgical technique chosen, and the operative time required. We make sense of all of it during your consultation, where you'll receive a clear, individualized quote. If you wish to spread out your labiaplasty payments over time, as many of our patients do, we are happy to recommend credit services like CareCredit. These services have offered many of our patients the convenience of easy monthly payments for their labiaplasty or other cosmetic surgery procedures.
