What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora—the inner folds of tissue surrounding the vaginal opening. While labial size and shape vary widely among women, excess tissue can sometimes lead to:

  • Physical irritation during exercise or intimacy
  • Pain from tight clothing
  • Visibility in swimwear or form-fitting outfits
  • Aesthetic concerns or self-consciousness

Labiaplasty addresses both functional and cosmetic issues, offering a personalized solution that helps women feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.

Labiaplasty Techniques Offered in Las Vegas

At Cara Plastic Surgery, labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your treatment preferences. Dr. Kahng offers two primary surgical techniques:

Trim Technique

This method removes excess tissue along the outer edge of the labia minora, resulting in a cleaner, more symmetrical contour. It’s ideal for women who want to reduce pigmentation or the length of the labial edges.

Wedge Technique

A triangular portion of tissue is removed from the thickest part of the labia, preserving the natural outer border. This technique offers a more conservative appearance and may be paired with clitoral hood contouring, if needed.

Both approaches use dissolvable sutures to support smooth healing and minimal scarring.

What Is Recovery Like After Labiaplasty?

Recovery from labiaplasty in Las Vegas is generally well-tolerated and requires minimal downtime. Most patients return to light daily activities within 5 to 7 days.

During the healing period, patients should:

  • Avoid tight underwear or restrictive clothing
  • Refrain from sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks
  • Skip intense physical activity until cleared by Dr. Kahng
  • Use cold compresses and elevate the pelvis to minimize swelling
  • Follow all provided hygiene and aftercare instructions carefully

Swelling and mild sensitivity are common but typically resolve within a few weeks.

What Results Can You Expect?

Labiaplasty offers both physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Reduction of excess or elongated labia
  • Relief from friction, twisting, or chafing
  • Enhanced comfort in physical activities and clothing
  • Improved symmetry and vulvar aesthetics
  • Increased confidence in intimate settings

Results are long-lasting and highly individualized. Most Las Vegas patients report not only improved comfort but also a significant boost in self-esteem.

Is Labiaplasty Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for labiaplasty if you:

  • Experience pain or irritation from labial tissue
  • Feel self-conscious about the appearance of your vulva
  • Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
  • Are not currently pregnant or planning childbirth in the near future

During your private consultation at our Las Vegas office, Dr. Kahng will review your goals and evaluate your anatomy to recommend the safest and most effective treatment plan.
