Labiaplasty is a popular aspect of my New York City private plastic surgery practice. The reasons women seek labiaplasty are varied and include:
- dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of the labia minora, clitoral hood, labia majora, perineum, or some combination of those
- discomfort with sports or exercise
- difficulty with hygiene
- the frequent need to adjust the private parts
- self-consciousness when in intimate situations or fitted clothing
Every labiaplasty I perform is uniquely tailored to each patient's specific concerns and one-of-a-kind anatomy. No two labiaplasty patients are the same, and no two operations are the same either.
I am well-versed in the full spectrum of labiaplasty repair techniques, include wedge excision, lazy-S excision, en bloc reduction of labia minora and clitoral hood, and others. The important aesthetic points for each operation include:
- matching the pigment borders and lines so that the pink pigmentary line and beige/ brown pigmentary line are continous and aesthetic
- ensuring no rippling or puckering of the incision borders
- hiding scars as much as possible
- achieving the best possible symmetry given a patient's anatomic starting point
The key to achieving the most perfect possible results for a labiaplasty surgery lies in planning, meticulous attention to detail, and stepwise refinement of excised specimens (as pictured above). In this era of gynecologists, general doctors, and high-volume "labiaplasty centers" performing these surgeries, it is important for women to understand that a board-certified plastic surgeon is trained in the delicate tissue handling, aesthetic principles, and surgical anatomy that give you ideal results.
