Labioplasty
Labiaplasty consists of a modification of the size or shape of a woman’s vulvar lips. Labiaplasty usually refers to the reduction or increase of both the labia majora and minora.
1. Reduction labiaplasty · Vulvar labia reduction
Candidates for surgery
- In some women the labia minora may be more voluminous, and the labia majora protrude to a greater or lesser degree.
- Sometimes it is both the labia minora and the labia majora that are enlarged. This increase in size can occur congenitally, or acquired with age or from childbirth.
Some of these women dislike this enlarged size of their labia minora and it can cause embarrassment with their sexual partner or discomfort in tight pants, sports or during sexual intercourse.
The operation consists of removing the excess tissue and adjusting it to a smaller size.
- In the case of the labia minora, accommodate the size within the labia majora.
- In the case of the labia majora, until greater censorship is obtained, less volume.
Anesthesia: the procedure is performed with local anesthesia, either with local anesthesia and sedation, or with general anesthesia depending on the characteristics of each patient.
It is important that you bear in mind that after the intervention you must wash daily with an antiseptic after going to the bathroom to avoid infections.
Also, you should not walk vigorously for two weeks after the procedure to prevent tears from occurring.
You should avoid sexual relations that involve trauma to the operated area as well as riding a bicycle for a month.
It is normal that during the first weeks there is an increase in the volume of the operated lips due to the swelling effect.
The stitches are resorbable.
Post-operative scars are practically imperceptible over time, due to the nature of the tissues.
The definitive result can be perceived after the fifth month.
2. Augmentation labiaplasty · Increased vulvar lips
Over time, as with the rest of the body’s tissues, the body loses collagen and elastin, in addition to suffering the effects of gravity. The labia majora in turn can suffer the effects of childbirth. This aging is characterized in the labia majora by flaccidity, loss of volume, sagging and wrinkles.
The correction of this condition can be carried out depending on the degree of involvement with different treatments that can be medical, such as hyaluronic acid infiltration, or a combination of medical and surgical
Lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid
When we need to give volume to the labia majora, hyaluronic acid is an effective and fast alternative to obtain the desired result.
The hyaluronic acid filler in the labia majora is applied painlessly and provides an immediate volume result.
The approximate duration of the volume obtained is 3 to 5 months, always taking into account the amount of volume injected and the reabsorption capacity of the patient.
Post-treatment period:
- Some light bruising may occur at the application site, which disappears over the days.
- After applying hyaluronic acid, it is advisable to take hygienic measures during the first 3 days after which you can lead a normal life, except for riding a bicycle.
Lip augmentation by grafting own fat
Rejuvenation of the labia majora by applying own fat is one of the treatments we recommend for genital rejuvenation.
Whenever we inject fat, we apply PRP as an enhancer to facilitate the permanence of fat in a greater proportion. 1,2
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, both for the extraction of fat and for the infiltration of the labia majora.
The fat can be partially reabsorbed in such a way that the definitive result will be seen three months after the procedure.
If the patient wants more volume after this period of time has passed, the fat injection procedure can be repeated.
After the procedure, the patient can return home immediately.
During the first days after the injection of the fat, there is an enlargement and smoothness of the labia majora, which may immediately be combined with some edema or swelling.
The coloration of the labia majora during the first days may be bluish due to the trauma of small vessels in the labia majora that will recover over the days.
It is recommended not to engage in sexual practices that involve trauma to the area for 15 days after the intervention and to avoid riding a bicycle for a month.
3. Genital rejuvenation through non-surgical treatments
Radiofrequency
The labia majora stimulates the tissue that makes them up and promotes the production of collagen fibers and stimulates skin tightening.
This technique can be combined with different types of lasers to enhance the effect and add efficiency.
Post-treatment period:
- A heating sensation is produced in the applied area that produces some discomfort during the hours following the treatment
- It is recommended after the treatment to apply the XTRM, serum-C and XTRM-H creams Daily in the morning and at night During the course of a month, the radiofrequency treatment can be repeated every 15 days.
- Sexual activity can be resumed after 3-4 days.
- We recommend not riding a bicycle for a week.
Laser
The light therapies using coherent light used for the rejuvenation of the labia majora are fundamentally:
- the Neodymium Yag
- laser, the Erbium Crystal laser, and
- the Erbium-YAG
The use of one or several lasers will depend on the objective of the treatment.
They are painless treatments that are carried out, for maximum protection, by applying an anesthetic cream.
Post-treatment period:
- After treatment, some burning sensation and discomfort can be expected for one or two days and in some cases some vulvar skin peeling.
- It is recommended after the treatment to apply the XTRM, serum-C and XTRM-H creams daily in the morning and at night during the course of a month, the radiofrequency treatment can be repeated every 15 days.
- Sexual activity can be resumed after 3-4 days.
- We recommend not riding a bicycle for a week.
Laserfrequency
This treatment consists of the combined application of radiofrequency energy with the laser.
The use of these two energies enhances the result in terms of the smoothness and tone of the skin of the labia majora.
Post-treatment period:
- A heating sensation is produced in the applied area that produces some discomfort during the hours following the treatment
- It is recommended after the treatment to apply the XTRM, serum-C and XTRM-H creams Daily in the morning and at night During the course of a month, the radiofrequency treatment can be repeated every 15 days.
- Sexual activity can be resumed after 3-4 days.
- We recommend not riding a bicycle for a week.
L-PRF plasma
Derivatives of the L-PRF can be applied individually, in the form of mesotherapy, combined with laser and radiofrequency.
The ability of platelet derivatives to stimulate the tissues where they are injected is well known. Applied in combination, they multiply the effect of the treatments applied individually.
L-PRF can be applied individually as a biological volumizer at the same time as a point connective tissue growth stimulator in these circumstances.
- The duration is about 3 days, although the stimulating effect on the connective tissue of the labia majora is cumulative over time.
- When we use platelet derivatives combined with fat grafts, we increase the survival of fat in the tissues. 1,2
Post-treatment period:
- Sexual activity can be resumed after 3-4 days.
- We recommend not riding a bicycle for a week
Our greatest asset is our customers
Labiaplasty consists of a modification of the size or shape of a woman’s vulvar lips. Labiaplasty usually refers to the reduction of both the labia majora and minora.
The labiaplasty intervention is not painful, as long as it is performed under adequate anesthesia. The labiaplasty procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, although in more apprehensive patients, another type of anesthesia can be used.
The time needed to have sexual intercourse after a labiaplasty is one month.
No, sensitivity should not be lost during a labiaplasty.
The labiaplasty intervention costs between €2,500 and €4,000.
Yes, it is possible to correct only the labia majora.
It is also possible to correct only the labia minora.
Interventions to improve the aesthetics of the lower lips of women can be rejuvenation, reduction or augmentation.
Fat grafting of the female labia majora consists of performing liposuction and grafting the extracted fat onto the labia majora.
The time that the grafted fat or lipofilling lasts in the vulvar lips of women is permanent, if we consider the final residual volume.
As a general rule, after a fat graft in the labia majora of women, we advise against sexual intercourse for 15 days.
Surgery on the lips of the woman’s intimate area can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
If it is a reduction, the excess of skin and mucosa that produces the enlargement of the lips is removed. Then it is sutured with absorbable threads, so that it is not necessary to remove these stitches.
After the intervention, it is recommended to maintain strict hygiene by washing with antiseptics after each urination or bowel movement, avoiding friction movements in the area, that is, not walking excessively or too fast, not riding a bicycle and avoiding sexual intercourse for a month.
It is a medical or surgical procedure by which the volume of the vulvar labia majora of women is increased.
For the augmentation of the labia majora, two types of fillers are used: hyaluronic acid and each patient’s own fat.
Depending on the filling material used, the results may or may not be permanent.
In the case of hyaluronic acid, the increase in volume can last between 6 months and 8 months.
The augmentation of the labia majora by means of own fat is permanent, to a somewhat lesser degree than that which is appreciated immediately after the intervention.
The price of a labia majora augmentation depends on the substance used to perform it and the amount of product needed to obtain the desired result. It is essential that you speak with our plastic surgeon, Dr. García Ceballos, so that you know precisely the cost of the procedure.
