What Exactly Is Labiaplasty Surgery?
A labiaplasty in NYC really is a fairly common type of cosmetic plastic surgery that’s done to revamp your genital area. It’s performed for both cosmetic and functional purposes. A labiaplasty is the technical name for reducing the size of the inner and outer tissues of your vagina.
The labia are what you may refer to as the lips or skin folds around the outside of your vagina. The outer lips usually are covered in pubic hair and can be quite fleshy. Labia minora refers to the inner lips that start at your clitoris and stretch just under your vagina’s opening. Labia are sensitive, of course, and both the inner and outer lip swell when you get turned on.
Issues women have with their labia include that they’re:
- Wrinkled
- Too long or too short
- One lip’s longer than its counterpart
- Too light or too dark
- Too fleshy or too thin
The goal of a labiaplasty is to make your inner labia flush with your outer labia, giving you a balanced and perfectly aesthetic result. It also improves your comfort and the appearance down there. Whether or not you shave or trim your pubic hair, looking good increases your sexual confidence.

Vaginas form in their own distinctive ways beginning at puberty, and that’s when girls often wonder if they’re normal or not. It’s often a difficult subject to bring up with your mother or even your friends. But attempting to alter this sensitive part of your body yourself is dangerous and can have permanent consequences.
Maybe you’ve felt outcast by a genetic difference or an undesired change in vaginal appearance due to aging, giving birth or injury. A professional procedure by the best labiaplasty surgeon in NYC helps you feel good about yourself.
Inner or outer labiaplasty in New York at Millennial Plastic Surgery results in benefits that include:
- Eliminating discomfort during exercise. Larger inner labia can sometimes become twisted or caught during exercise. A labiaplasty eliminates this discomfort and also makes you feel more confident in tighter fitting workout gear and exercise clothing.
- Recovering aesthetically from childbirth. Labia become enlarged or torn during childbirth, leaving scarring and misshapen tissue that leads to future pain, discomfort and sexual insecurity. Labiaplasties remodel the inner workings of labia tissue to provide you with an intimate mommy makeover and get you back to how you looked before pregnancy.
- Celebrating weight loss. Labia may grow in size after significant weight gain but not reduce once the weight is gone. A labiaplasty gives you the bump in confidence needed to match your genitalia with your overall slimmer self.
- Improving sexual intimacy. How your vaginal lips appear may reduce your sexual confidence and security. Labiaplasties give you a better aesthetic that helps you regain your confidence when you appear in all your glory.
- Diminishing irritation. Larger labia sometimes cause itchiness and irritation. Rashes can develop due to that friction. Reducing the labia size eliminates these skin issues.
What Does a Labiaplasty in NYC Entail?
Clitoral Hood Reduction
Clitoral hood reduction is a surgical procedure for the removal of excess tissue from the fold of skin over the clitoris. Enlarged labial tissue in this area can cause discomfort during sexual activity or interfere with sexual pleasure. The procedure exposes more of the clitoris. For some women, this may increase sensitivity and enhance sexual pleasure.
Labia Majora
The labia majora can be treated for aesthetic concerns. Excessive size can be reduced through excision, removing tissue from the inner labia majora. This leaves a hidden scar at the junction of the labia majora and minora. Deflation, often after reproductive years or weight loss, can be treated by adding 10-15 cc of fat from another body area to the labia majora.
The technique that you and your surgeon decide upon fits the issues you’re looking to correct. It’s also the most practical, concerning recovery time and labiaplasty cost in NYC. An average labiaplasty lasts between one and two hours. Recovery times vary.
The two different methods for performing a labiaplasty surgery include:
- The trim method.
- The wedge method.
The trim method.
The most common technique, the trim method involves creating an incision on the outside of the inner labia to trim it by making it slightly smaller or flush with the outer lips. The section removed is usually darker in color, so the overall appearance of your genital area appears more symmetric and no longer discolored.
The wedge method.
This newer alternative involves removing a V-shaped wedge from both sides of the labia and then stitching them together. This method avoids complications in transitioning around the clitoral bulb, but it also leaves discolored tissue intact.
A non-surgical labiaplasty may be an option if you’re looking to rejuvenate your vaginal lips without going under the knife. Non-surgical labiaplasty uses radiofrequency (RF) heat to tighten labial tissues, instead of cutting and removing the tissue. This RF technology avoids scarring and the other side effects of surgery.

What Can I Expect during Recovery from a Labiaplasty?
When you have a labiaplasty in New York, choose Millennial Plastic Surgery, a practice that prioritizes comfort after every procedure, helping you have a speedy, painless recovery. Your trusted surgeon equips you with labiaplasty post-operative instructions after your procedure.
You can speed up your recovery time after the procedure by:
- Adhering to the activity level regimen. Taking your time easing back into daily activities helps healing and prevents post-surgical tearing and other complications.
- Abstaining from sex. Sex can introduce bacteria to the healing area around the labia. The strain pulls at the wound, which slows down recovery. Get the go-ahead from your doctor before you jump back into your sex life.
- Avoiding alcohol and smoking. Tobacco and alcohol use slows down the body’s natural healing response. Avoid them to prevent prolonged inflammation and pain.
- Taking proper pain medications. Your surgeon provides you with post-op pain medication to combat any painful side effects.
Most labiaplasties are closed with temporary stitches that dissolve in about three to four weeks. It’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours before showering or cleaning the area. You’ll receive instructions on how to properly clean, dry and apply medication to the sensitive area after surgery.
