LABIAPLASTY

Labiaplasty

Naples Plastic Surgery

Many women elect to have a labiaplasty for a variety of reasons, including cosmetic concerns, genital pain or sexual enhancement.
Patients are given the option of having the surgery while awake under local anesthesia with oral sedation, like Valium, or under deep sedation where they are unaware of what is happening. The typical labiabplasty involves removing a wedge of the excess labia minora tissue so that the lips are shortened and tightened. The wedge technique allows for the preservation of the specialized lip tissues in the normal anatomic position. This prevents dryness after the operation which could lead to long-term irritation.

Hi. I’m Dr. Bonett with Naples Plastic Surgery. Today we’re going to talk about a sensitive, but important topic: labioplasty. Labioplasty means reshaping the skin or folds around the vaginal opening. Excess skin or laxity of that area can happen for various reasons whether it’s just genetics or child birth or weight gain.

The reasons to pursue labiaplasty may be aesthetic or functional.  Sometimes women don’t like the way it looks even in clothing or bathing suits. It can also have functional issues such as pain with intercourse or frequent UTIs. During a labiaplasty we remove the extra skin of the area and we reshape it for a better contour and to help you feel more comfortable.

Our team is here to guide you through the postoperative course and you’re often back doing most things that you want to do within a few weeks. Patients often have increased comfort and boosted confidence after this procedure. Please come see us in consultation to discuss labiaplasty in more detail.

Labiaplasty in Naples

Prior to the procedure, Dr. Leo Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett meet with their labiaplasty patient to first discuss any concerns and to create a personalized course of action for the procedure. This may include reduction of excess vaginal tissue and possibly hoodectomy, which is a vaginal rejuvenation procedure that removes excess skin covering the clitoris. The surgeon then thoroughly discusses the labiaplasty procedure with the patient and answers any questions she might have.

On the day of the surgery, the surgeon and his team prepare the patient for surgery and administer an anesthetic. After pre-operative preparations, the surgeon sculpts the vaginal lips through surgical extraction to ensure symmetry and to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Labia reduction surgery is performed on an outpatient basis in your doctor’s surgical suite, which features privacy and exclusivity: you will be the only patient in the surgery center at the time of your procedure. In addition, our surgical suites have met the strict regulations required to be endorsed by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, a testament to our surgeons’ dedication towards patient health.

Recovering from Labiaplasty

Following the procedure, labiaplasty patients may experience bruising and sensitivity for several weeks until they are fully healed. Patients are advised to abstain from rigorous exercise for three weeks and sexual intercourse for at least six weeks after the procedure.
Because labiaplasty is a surgical procedure, patients may experience complications. Some of the most common risks include bleeding and infection. However, your chosen plastic surgeon will work diligently to give you beautiful results through a safe and healthy plastic surgery process.

Dr. Leo Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, Dr. Andrew Bonett, and their surgical teams are dedicated to providing patients unsurpassed attentive care and strive to make themselves available to answer any questions or concerns. Because of their remarkable commitment to patient satisfaction, our surgeons and the Naples Plastic Surgery practice are highly regarded throughout Florida among the top plastic surgery options in the state.

Works with You for a Great Result

Dr. Walsh is excellent, very patient, and takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns and puts you at ease. He works with you for a great surgery result.

I have been through a lot since undergoing a bi-lateral mastectomy and many reconstructive surgeries that did not go well. I was referred to Dr. Walsh. From the first visit, I knew I was in good hands. I have had amazing results, they look great and I am very happy to feel whole again. He is a great surgeon!
His staff is awesome, they communicate well, and it is a very happy environment, always a pleasure to walk into the office. I highly recommend Naples Plastic Surgery!!

Dr Gardner is the BEST!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gardners for many years. His ability to relate to his patients is a very calming and caring characteristic. He answers questions with patience and above all, no pressure. The surgeries that I have had, fat augmentation and a neck/chin lift have given me a renewed and fresh look without appearing as if it’s not a totally natural look. I continue to have fillers and Botox by Dr. Gardner and would NEVER consider going to someone else for these procedures.

The staff are incredible! They know their patients by name, interact in a supportive manner and most of all, are very knowledgeable about the procedures and always willing and able to answer questions.

I would very highly recommend Dr. Gardner and his staff.

Simply masterful with a kind soul

Dr. Gardner is simply masterful and a kind soul. He takes great pride in his work and has the experience and expertise to take initiative to achieve the best outcome for patients beyond expectation, often having to adapt to unexpected obstacles from patient history. Experiencing significant pain I went to see Dr. Gardner as a repeat patient, expecting a routine implant revision due to a failure of a fifteen year old reduction procedure. Instead, Dr. Gardner had to remove a significant growth and essentially rebuild the sins of the past into results that realistically were better than had ever presented in my youth, all with minimal incisions and recovery. This is the doctor you seek for exceptional cases and care – you are worth it. He is worthy. Special appreciation to his staff, all of whom genuinely take an interest and embody the values Dr. Gardner brings to the table.

Amazing Transformation and Exceptional Care

I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Walsh for the amazing transformation he’s given me. I had a skin removal tummy tuck with liposuction and Renuvion, and the results have been life-changing. Dr. Walsh’s expertise and attention to detail made me feel confident throughout the process. He listened to my concerns and tailored the procedure to my needs.

The recovery was smooth thanks to his thorough aftercare instructions and the constant support of his team. Dr. Walsh even came into the office the day after surgery, a Saturday, to check on me, which showed his true commitment to me.

I also want to highlight how wonderful and kind the entire office staff is. Everyone was helpful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

I highly recommend Dr. Walsh for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. His skill, professionalism, and dedication are truly exceptional.

Beyond helpful and kind

Dr Baccaro and his team went above and beyond for my breast augmentation surgery. From the consultation to every single post op appointment they were beyond helpful and kind.
I had my implants for 10 years and had significant loss in volume and was afraid I needed a lift but Dr Baccaro was able to give me the perfect new pair without a lift and I am beyond happy with the results. Besides that he also fixed my visible scarring that were left behind from the previous surgeon.
His work is beyond excellent and both him and his team are amazing people.

Months later I went in for lip and nose filler and AGAIN I was left speechless with his work. I have never done any filler in my nose and always wanted a nosejob to fix a bump on my bridge and with less than 1ml in both lips and nose he was able to give me the side profile of my dreams.

Thank you Dr Baccaro and the amazing team. I will 10000% recommend you to anyone I meet needing a procedure done and will continue using your services.

Very pleasant to work with

I am very happy with my experience with Naples plastic surgery and will definitely use them again in the future! I had breast implants that were 34 years old and I had them replaced by Dr Walsh. Believe it or not even after all that time one of the implants was still fully intact when he took it out, the other one had begun to show signs of gumminess from age. Everyone from the office staff, to the doctor himself were very pleasant to work with and overall was a great experience here.

Hi, I’m Dr Baccaro, and I want to tell you a little bit about labiaplasty. So labiaplasty is a procedure in which excess labial mucosa can be reduced to improve comfort, improve self-consciousness, improve sexual function as well. So this happens because some women have a little bit of excess mucosa of their labia and it causes — a lot of times — friction with clothing, or friction when sitting down, riding a bicycle, or during sexual intercourse, and it causes discomfort in the long term. So that can actually be addressed with a short procedure called a labiaplasty.

View Video Transcript – Dr. Baccaro is here to answer all your questions on Labiaplasty

So will a labiaplasty cause problems with sensitivity or sexual function? The short answer is no. You’re removing some excess mucosa, but you’re allowing the rest of that mucosa to heal, to maintain a healthy environment for healing, and so the nerve endings in that area stay healthy and will still function. In terms of sexual function in general there’s improvement of sexual function because you’re actually resolving some of the issues that were causing problems with sexual function before, so a very typical example is patients with excess labial mucosa have a lot of pain because the mucosa is somewhat dry but when you do a labiaplasty, you resolve those issues and the sexual function actually improves afterwards.

Non-surgical Rejuvenation Options

If you suffer from vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, or urinary incontinence due to age, menopause symptoms, or after childbirth, Laser Vaginal Therapy is a minimally-invasive option that could be right for you!
