Labiaplasty Las Vegas

You deserve confidence and comfort.

Every woman’s labia is different, but overly long or uneven labia can cause many problems. Apart from a feeling of self-consciousness, extended or uneven labia can twist or pinch, causing pain during intercourse, exercise, and other everyday activities. Not so long ago, there was a time when women simply suffered through it, but we no longer live in such a world.

No woman needs to suffer needlessly from this unfortunate circumstance. A labiaplasty in Las Vegas with Dr. Engineer is a relatively non-invasive procedure that improves the look and feel of the labia. Many Las Vegas area patients find that their quality of life and confidence are remarkably improved after a minimal recovery time.

Dr. Engineer will review your needs with compassion during your private consultation at Engineered Aesthetics. In every case, his most significant goal is to ensure complete satisfaction with your results

What is labiaplasty?

Vaginal rejuvenation is a broad term that encompasses many options for reshaping and refining the labia. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure for vaginal rejuvenation that reduces the size of the labia minora so that it is flush with the labia majora.

Some of the reasons females have enlarged labia include:

Childbirth
Aging
Genetics

Labiaplasty is an excellent choice for women who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their vulva. However, the surgery also features several functional benefits. Many patients with enlarged labia experience difficulty with the following:

Exercise
Hygiene
Urinary tract infections
Sexual activity
Other physical activities

By removing excess skin and reshaping the labia, these difficulties are eased, and patients report feeling more self-confident.

Am I a good candidate for labiaplasty?

Most labiaplasty patients want cosmetic enhancement; while there is no standard shape for genitalia, many patients express dissatisfaction with having more prominent labia. Typical candidates for labiaplasty have developed significant labial changes postpartum or have always had oversized or irregular labia majora, minora, or both.

Other candidacy requirements include the following:

Being 18 or older
Experiencing physical discomfort while sitting, exercising, or having sex
Being self-conscious due to labial size or appearance
Having labial tears resulting from childbirth

Prepping for surgery

Here is some advice for preparing for labiaplasty:

Learn about the procedure
Check your insurance benefits to see if the surgery is covered
Arrange the proper care needed after the procedure, such as rides to and from, childcare, etc.
Keep your expectations realistic to avoid being unhappy with the results
For at least two weeks before, avoid blood thinners and medications such as NSAIDs
For at least four weeks before, avoid supplements, such as vitamin C and herbal supplements
Do not eat or drink after midnight on the night before
The night before your procedure, get plenty of sleep to ensure that your body can recover quickly and properly

How labiaplasty is performed

Most commonly, labiaplasty consists of simple trimming of the inner labia or labia minora. Both inner labia may be shortened or on one side only, depending upon your unique needs. This trimming technique can be used to shrink the inner labia, remove the darker, lowest-hanging portion of the inner labia, or to even out uneven labia.

If a more substantial change in shape is desired, Dr. Engineer may perform a wedge procedure. When using this surgical technique, the surgeon makes a v-shaped incision to remove a “wedge” of tissue from both sides of the inner labia before stitches are applied.

This technique can help ensure a smooth transition from the clitoral hood to the rest of the labia. No matter the specifics of your labiaplasty, the skill and care of an experienced plastic surgeon are an absolute necessity.

An excellent aesthetic sense is vitally important, and maintaining critical sensation and function is equally crucial. Dr. Engineer’s years of successful surgical practice and abundance of training make him an ideal choice for patients seeking labiaplasty in Las Vegas.

Labiaplasty recovery

The primary recovery period usually lasts one week or less, and you may resume routine activities and intercourse after approximately four to six weeks. You will likely be instructed to ice the area after surgery, but prescribed pain medication should not be necessary.

Dr. Engineer and his staff will ensure you understand and feel comfortable with all aftercare requirements and remain available for questions and support as you recover. Some amount of swelling may persist for up to six months. After that point, your full, beautiful results should be apparent, with total cessation of painful twisting and tugging of the labia minora.

How much does labiaplasty cost?

The costs associated with labiaplasty include:

Your surgeon’s fee
The cost of anesthesia
Medical tests
Pain medication
Compression garments

The average surgeon’s fee for labiaplasty in the U.S. is approximately $5,000, though Las Vegas labiaplasty patients should expect to pay closer to $7000-10,000 based on the total fees incurred.

Labiaplasty benefits

For most women with oversized labia, the primary issue is that this affects their self-esteem and self-confidence. Having labiaplasty can remove that self-consciousness and worry and allow you to feel more confident in your appearance.

Other labiaplasty benefits include the following:

Enhanced aesthetic appearance
Reduced discomfort caused by larger labial tissues
Reduced irritation caused by irregular labia
Greater comfort in clothing such as a bikini, tight leggings, or snug pants
Increased sexual pleasure by preventing discomfort during sex due to tissue getting dragged or caught
Reduced pain and discomfort associated with exercising and other daily activities as the exposed tissue is twisted, chafed, and pinched
Reduced risk of UTIs and other health concerns

Labiaplasty FAQs

Can I have children after a labiaplasty?

You can have children after a labiaplasty. However, excess weight, everyday wear, and the act of giving birth may cause the newly refined vaginal lips to become again stretched and elongated.

Can I combine my labiaplasty with other procedures?

Because the most common cause of oversized or 'sagging' labia is pregnancy and childbirth, labiaplasty is often combined with other procedures for a mommy makeover.

Does labiaplasty come with visible scarring?

Dr. Engineer practices a conservative, precision-based approach that minimizes postoperative scarring. In his capable hands, you will not see the scars. Incisions are well-concealed within the natural folds of the skin.

What are the risks of labiaplasty?

Dr. Engineer does everything possible to minimize your surgical risks by practicing conservative, precise techniques and adhering to the highest cleanliness and safety standards. However, every surgical procedure comes with inherent risks such as, bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, and others.

Am I too young for labiaplasty?

Women of all ages pursue labiaplasty to feel more confident and experience increased comfort, but most are over 18. The best way to determine if labiaplasty is right for you is to meet with our team for a private consultation.

Will my intimacy be affected?

Unless you tell your partner about the procedure, they will not suspect any work has been done. Because intercourse may feel better, your partner may notice that you are more relaxed and present.

How long will the results last?

In most all cases, labiaplasty results are permanent.

Will I have the same sensitivity after?

No nerves are removed or damaged during labiaplasty surgery, so the sensations you feel should be the same as before treatment. Because Dr. Engineer removed unnecessary tissue, many women report elevated feelings after labiaplasty.

Is labiaplasty painful?

Although this body part is sensitive and delicate, labiaplasty is not particularly painful. Any discomfort or pain experienced after the surgery is usually the result of swelling, which will subside after the first days of recovery.
