Labiaplasty in Atlanta, GA

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Fara Movagharnia can help Atlanta, GA women feel more attractive and comfortable with surgical vaginal rejuvenation to correct the shape and size of the labia. The labia, which are the external lips of the vaginal area, can be larger or have hanging skin caused by natural aging, childbirth, pregnancy, or an injury. A labiaplasty surgically decreases the size of the labia majora and/or minora to create an improved look. This may minimize irritation and discomfort while raising sexual pleasure and confidence. Come in for a consult at the Center for Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery in Atlanta, GA to hear more about labiaplasty and decide if you may be a candidate.

Surgery for the labia at the Center for Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery can be beneficial for women who are concerned about the size and shape of their vaginal lips that can be enlarged because of childbirth, genetics, or a physical trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause discomfort, pain, irritation, or itching when engaging in activities like sex and exercise. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation can also be beneficial if you don't wear tight clothes (such as leggings, yoga pants, or bathing suits) because of the appearance of your vaginal area. While labia surgery shouldn't impact your ability to get pregnant, Dr. Movagharnia advises you to wait until you are done childbearing to prevent changing your results.

Many vaginal rejuvenation treatments can be completed in our procedure room with a local anesthetic, so you may get yourself to our office. If your treatment plan is more complex, you may need to be put under general anesthesia at a nearby surgical facility, so you will need to have a responsible person to drive you home following your procedure. Dr. Movagharnia can talk about your treatment plan and more at your appointment so you may make arrangements, if needed, prior to your appointment. A labiaplasty is typically done with the trimming technique to remove extra skin and tissue before suturing the skin so it is taut. Also available is the wedge technique to remove a triangular area of skin and tissue as well as excess folds that cover the clitoris before stitching the skin.

In general, patients take around one week to heal from discomfort and swelling following their vaginal rejuvenation procedure before they return to normal activities and/or work. Dr. Movagharnia suggests applying a cold compress or ice pack if needed to minimize inflammation. You should not have sexual activity or use tampons for at least 4 – 6 weeks following your procedure. Patients generally notice visible results in around six weeks and final results about six months following the procedure. The improvements of vaginal rejuvenation are usually long lasting; however, childbirth, natural aging, and weight fluctuations can impact your result.
