Labiaplasty in St. Louis, MO

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing and reshaping the labia minora (inner lips) and/or labia majora (outer lips) of the vulva. 

At Amelia St. Louis in St. Louis, MO, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rafi Fredman and plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Tom specialize in this transformative surgery, helping women enhance their comfort and self-confidence.

Many women seek labiaplasty due to concerns about the size, shape, or asymmetry of their labia, which can lead to physical discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness during activities like exercise, intimate relations, or wearing certain clothing. Labiaplasty can also address changes that occur due to childbirth or natural aging.

During the procedure, your plastic surgeon will carefully remove excess tissue and reshape the labia to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preferences and specific needs.

Recovery from labiaplasty generally involves a downtime of about one to two weeks, during which patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most women are advised to avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse during the initial healing period to ensure optimal recovery. Results will become evident after several weeks as swelling subsides.
