Are you concerned about the look, shape or feel of your private area?  If so you're not alone, many women have been bothered by  large labia, asymmetric labia or related female genital issues. Finally there are options and good ones to help this problem available right here in Newark and Wilmington Delaware.  A short surgical procedure may be all you need to reduce large labia (labia minora and labia majora) to diminish their outward appearance and correct misshapenness or irregularities

Additionally this may not be simply a cosmetic concern, but functional one as well as excessive labia may be problematic for hygiene and sexual relations.  Procedures can be done in the office, discretely, or more extensive cases at an outpatient surgery center.

Surgical excision and repair will tighten, and improve the appearance not only naked in front of the mirror, but also in tight clothing, especially bathing suits, cheerleading or dance attire, and even some tights.  This is a problem many women have been concerned with their whole lives and now find there are options.  The 1 thing our patients always say is...I can't believe I waited so long for a fix that turned out to be so simple, with a much easier recovery than expected.  

Labiaplasty

This is a very common procedure with growing demand as more and more women find that there is an answer to problems.  

Procedures may involve simply reducing large or hanging labia, matching asymmetric labia, or tightening or filling the labial area.  For some individuals liposuction and reduction of the pubic area (above labia) or along the labia majora (outer area) is combined for an optimal effect. 

Procedure

Most procedures are done in the office very discretely under local anesthetic...and before you get too worried, we utilize a program of a topical anesthetic prior to the injection which makes the procedure very tolerable and for most women way easier than they expected.  The procedure generally takes about an hour but will give you a lifetime of improvement.

More extensive procedures are done out patient at a surgery center with anesthesia.  This can be done for patient comfort if you prefer to be asleep for the procedure, or for a combined or extensive procedure.

Reovery

Recovery involves simply keeping the area clean and covered with a topical antibiotic during the initial healing process.  Sutures removed at a week and slowly advancing back to fully activity over 3-4 wks.  Many women choose the end of the week for a long weekend to recover, but others have gone back to work the next  day.  Soreness is expected for a few days, but is gernally well tolerated with minimal if any pain medication.  Strenuous exercise and sexual activity are put on hold for 3-4 weeks depending on healing.  

Results

Finally, while no surgery we do is scarless, the scars from labiaplasty tend to be very well hidden and of a very nice quality.  While it is possible to have clearly visible scars it is very UNCOMMON and the vast majority by 2-3 months after surgery can be difficult to see.   Women report improved confidence in bathing suits, in front of the mirror and in front of their lovers.
