Orange County Labiaplasty

Every woman’s anatomy is unique, but when excess labial tissue causes physical discomfort or self-consciousness, labiaplasty can offer effective, lasting relief. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Orange County, Dr. David Kahng offers labiaplasty procedures designed to restore comfort, functionality, and confidence with subtle, natural-looking results.

What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora—the inner folds of tissue surrounding the vaginal opening. While there’s a wide range of normal when it comes to labial shape and size, elongated or asymmetrical tissue can interfere with daily activities, cause irritation, or affect self-esteem.

Women often seek labiaplasty to relieve:

Discomfort during exercise, biking, or intimacy
Pain or irritation from tight clothing
Labial visibility in swimwear or athletic wear
A desire for a more balanced or refined appearance

Whether your concerns are functional, aesthetic, or both, labiaplasty can help.

Labiaplasty Techniques

Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort and treatment plan. Dr. Kahng uses two primary surgical approaches:

Trim Technique

The most common method, the trim technique removes excess tissue along the outer edge of the labia minora, creating a smoother, more refined contour. This option is ideal for patients with longer labia or pigmentation along the edges they wish to reduce.

Wedge Technique

This method removes a triangular segment of tissue from the thickest part of the labia while preserving the natural outer edge. It’s often preferred for a more conservative reduction and may include clitoral hood contouring when necessary.

Both techniques use dissolvable sutures for a clean closure and minimal scarring.

What Is Recovery Like?

Recovery from labiaplasty is generally straightforward. Most patients in Orange County return to work and light activity within 5 to 7 days. During healing, it’s important to:

Avoid tight clothing or underwear
Refrain from sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks
Skip strenuous exercise until cleared by Dr. Kahng
Use cold compresses and elevate the lower body to reduce swelling
Follow detailed aftercare instructions for hygiene and comfort

Swelling and mild discomfort are normal and typically resolve within a few weeks.

Labiaplasty Results

Labiaplasty can:

Reduce elongated labia minora
Alleviate irritation from twisting, tugging, or chafing
Improve comfort during physical activity
Enhance symmetry and appearance of the vulva
Boost body confidence and sexual well-being

Results are long-lasting and highly personalized. Most patients report significant improvement in both comfort and self-image.
