Who Makes a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty in Ocean County?

When the labia minora stretches out and falls lower than the labia majora, it often causes discomfort for the patient, along with an undesirable aesthetic appearance. If you are frustrated by a change in appearance and function in the labia and are not planning to get pregnant again in the future, you may be an excellent candidate for labiaplasty in Ocean County, Toms River, & Stafford Township with Dr. Small. In general, labiaplasty is suitable for you if:

  • You are healthy and free from any uncontrolled medical concerns
  • You don’t smoke
  • You are troubled by the appearance of stretched-out labia lips
  • You are experiencing discomfort during intercourse, sports, or daily activities
  • You avoid intimacy due to concerns with your labia
  • You avoid wearing tight clothing due to chafing, irritation, and pain
  • You have realistic expectations for your results

To ensure that labiaplasty is the best option for achieving your body sculpting goals, Dr. Small will meet with you in the privacy of his Ocean County offices to conduct a thorough consultation process. This will include a detailed discussion of your concerns, a physical assessment, and a deep dive into your medical history.

The Labiaplasty Procedure

For labial reduction or clitoral hood reduction, a local anesthetic is administered, and the tissue is trimmed per your specifications. Dissolvable sutures can usually be used to close the incisions. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis, and you can go home the same day.

Recovering from Labiaplasty

While no downtime is required after labiaplasty, you may wish to give yourself a day or two of rest. This is because some discomfort is to be expected, such as swelling, tenderness, and perhaps even some bruising that could make sitting and wearing tight clothing uncomfortable. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days.

Dr. Small will keep a close watch on your progress and will tell you everything you need to know to heal fast and well. This will include avoiding certain things like alcohol, sexual intercourse, douching, tampons, and exercise for a little while.

Labiaplasty Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?

Each labiaplasty procedure performed by Dr. Small is unique, so pricing may vary. The total price will include the surgeon's fees, anesthesia fees, facility fees, and medication fees. Pricing may increase if you undergo labiaplasty as part of a more comprehensive mommy makeover. Rest assured, Dr. Small will provide a detailed price quote after completing your private consultation in Toms River or Stafford Township.

Is Labiaplasty Painful?

Labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation, ensuring that the treatment process is painless. After your procedure, you can mitigate any mild soreness with prescription or over-the-counter painkillers. You can also use a cold compress to help relieve any lingering tenderness.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

You may need more than one consultation with Dr. Small to ensure that you and the doctor are on the same page regarding the results that you seek. After your surgery, you will need several follow-up visits with Dr. Small to make sure that your incisions are healing properly and that no complications have arisen.

How Long Until I See Results?

Swelling after labiaplasty can persist for up to 6 weeks, obscuring your results. After 4 to 6 months, almost all swelling will be gone. For this reason, it is important not to judge your aesthetic results too early.

Can I Combine Labiaplasty With Other Procedures?

Yes. Dr. Small commonly combines labiaplasty with a mommy makeover to offer women head-to-toe body sculpting results. During your private consultation in Ocean County, Dr. Small can go over your options for other aesthetic solutions that might be of interest to you.

What Are the Risks Associated With Labiaplasty?

Dr. Small follows exhaustive safety protocols to minimize the likelihood of complications as much as possible. However, certain inherent risks still exist with labiaplasty, including the following:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Poor scarring
  • Asymmetry
  • Poor anesthesia reactions
  • Changes in skin sensation
  • Pain

Can I Undergo Labiaplasty If I Haven’t Had Children?

Yes. Large labia lips can occur due to aging, menopause, or genetics. If you are struggling with discomfort or are unhappy with the appearance of your labia, you will likely make an excellent candidate for the procedure, provided that you are healthy, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations for your results.
