What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery aimed at altering the labia minora(inner lips) or labia majora, the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. Typically performed for cosmetic reasons, most patients opt for this surgical procedure to reduce the size of vaginal lips or alter the appearance of their labia.

Labiaplasty procedures use surgical techniques to reshape or trim excess labial tissue, restore an asymmetrical labia, and enhance comfort. With a growing awareness of body positivity and aesthetic concerns, labiaplasty has become a widely discussed option for woman seeking to address intimate anatomical issues, offering both physical and psychological benefits.

If requested and deemed necessary by your plastic surgeon, the clitoral hood may be addressed. This typically involves reducing excess tissue or reshaping the clitoral hood to achieve a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, it’s important to note that not all labiaplasty procedures include modification of the clitoral hood.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough about the level of kindness and professionalism, and concierge treatment I received at La Femme. Every single interaction was wonderful. Everyone in the office is top notch. Dr. Mason is a shooting star and fast on her way to surgeon stardom (and maybe as a podcaster as well).  She is an artist and a perfectionist and is also honest, clear, straightforward, and no nonsense. Incredible bedside manner. By my third visit I felt like we were good friends. ☺️ Best of the best. Follow the office on IG!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update: Dr. Mason did fix the problem I had from my surgery and they look much better.  I still have so much pain in the scars on the left side which is disheartening, but overall I am now happier with the results. I had a breast reduction with Dr. Mason.  While the sides where she did lipo did look reduced, my actual breasts never looked that much smaller.  I did end up losing 25 pounds which helped later.  My disappointment is with my nipples.  They look so bad that I am embarrassed to be seen naked now.  One is completely puckered/indented on one side.  I had discussed fixing it with them and I reached out to them to try to schedule through their portal and they never responded to me.  I will probably try to find another doctor at this point to fix it.  The doctor did seem to be a nice, kind person when she did my surgery and she did find a breast doctor to remove the benign tumor I had before she did the reduction (at the same time).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so grateful for Dr. Mason and her team. They made me feel safe, well informed, and genuinely comfortable from start to finish. Everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, and they were able to coordinate my consultation and procedure in the same visit, which made everything so much easier. I traveled from out of state to see Dr. Mason because of her reputation, and she truly lived up to it. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I highly recommend Dr. Mason and her team to anyone considering a procedure!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve researched getting a tummy tuck for years, And have had so many consultations, As soon as I went into this office and did my consultation, I knew this was the right doctor for me. The environment is warm and inviting, the entire staff is welcoming and helpful  and Dr. Mason was kind, professional, and caring from day one. Unlike other offices, she listened to my concerns and was open and realistic about expectations for my results and never tried to sell me on anything or pressure me into booking. The pricing was direct and upfront, there were no surprises or “add ons” I received everything I was promised and am so happy I found La Femme. I would recommend them to any friends/ family and couldn’t be happier with my results so far.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am only about three weeks out from surgery so I haven’t realized my full results yet however I cannot say enough, good things about this facility. Every single person who works there is helpful,  compassionate and communicative. Dr. Mason’s bedside manner is exceptional. She and her staff walked me through every aspect of the process ensuring I had realistic expectations. Dr. Mason was also very careful to ask probing questions and listen to my response to ensure she was giving me exactly what I wanted Not what she thought I should have. I had no complications thus far and very little pain. From Madison to Genesis and Kara, and the rest of the team I was very well taken care of. I opted to stay over in the surgical facility for peace of mind and I’m glad I did. Tiara looked after me very well and she had a fantastic disposition. She kept a very close eye all night and helped me walk often to ensure I began healing from the get go. Because I’ve not seen my full results yet, I can say that my absolute favorite part is the lymphatic massages with Arlene. She is wonderful, and I love that these were included in the healing process. I only wish I could continue them with her forever! I am so glad I chose them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mason and her team are wonderful to work with. I had my consultation for a breast reduction on 12/11/25, and I was approved by insurance within six days. Dr. Mason and her staff were extremely patient and answered all of my questions, whether in person or over the phone. My procedure was on 3/2/26, and the recovery process has been great so far. I’ve even received follow-up calls from Dr. Mason and her team after surgery, which I really appreciated. On the day of surgery, Dr. Mason and her team walked my mom and me through everything before the procedure started, which made me feel very comfortable and prepared. I’m so happy with the results. The final payment is due at the time of your pre-op appointment. My only issue was that it took the staff a little while to give me an accurate final amount. Also, you may have to pay a deductible for the anesthesiologist, and I didn’t find out how much that would be until the day of surgery. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Dr. Mason and her team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Mason and her entire staff. From my very first consultation to my surgery day and recovery, they were absolutely amazing — kind, professional, and so supportive every step of the way. I had been nervous for months about getting my breast reduction, but Dr. Mason made me feel completely comfortable and confident. She took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient. Her staff went above and beyond — checking on me, keeping me calm before surgery, and making sure I felt safe and cared for afterward. The whole team radiates compassion and skill. I can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I finally feel lighter, more confident, and free of the neck and shoulder pain I’d lived with for years. Thank you, Dr. Mason & Team!!! 💕💕💕💕

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a breast reduction and upper back lipo with Dr. Rachel Mason, and the entire experience has been exceptional. I previously had a reduction in 2022 with another surgeon who did great work, but I realized I wanted a further reduction. I was referred to Dr. Mason, and I am so glad I chose her. From the first consultation, I felt comfortable and genuinely cared for. The staff is wonderful — Genesis has been amazing to work with, the office manager is warm and relatable, and their lymphatic masseuse is highly skilled. Dr. Mason herself is kind, soft-spoken, humble, and has a wonderful sense of humor. She made me feel heard, supported, and confident in my decision. A thoughtful touch that stood out was the beautifully packaged aftercare gift bag at my post-op appointment — a small gesture that truly made the experience even more special. I’ll continue to see Le Femme for follow-up care and lymphatic massages, and I highly recommend Dr. Mason and her team to anyone considering surgery.

Causes For The Labiaplasty Procedure

Several reasons can lead to a woman opting to undergo labiaplasty surgery. The top reasons include:

Cosmetic concerns: Many women seek labiaplasty to alter the appearance of their outer labia, addressing issues such as asymmetrical labia, elongation, or excessive tissue.
Functional discomfort: Enlarged or elongated labia can cause physical discomfort during activities such as exercise, sexual intercourse, or wearing tight clothing, prompting individuals to seek surgical correction.
Psychological distress: Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the labia can lead to emotional or psychological distress, impacting self-esteem and quality of life, motivating some individuals to pursue labiaplasty.
Congenital abnormalities: Certain congenital conditions, such as asymmetry or hypertrophy of the labia, may necessitate surgical intervention for both functional and aesthetic reasons.
Medical reasons: In some cases, labiaplasty may be performed for medical reasons such as relieving chronic irritation, addressing intersex variations, or repairing damage from trauma or previous surgeries.

Labiaplasty Surgery Candidate

A good candidate for labiaplasty is typically someone who experiences physical discomfort, psychological distress, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their labia.

Candidates should be in good overall health, with realistic expectations about the outcomes of the cosmetic procedure. They should also have a thorough understanding of the risks, benefits, and potential complications associated with labiaplasty.

All candidates should undergo a comprehensive evaluation and consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to ensure that they are a suitable candidate and to discuss their goals and concerns thoroughly.

The Labiaplasty Surgery Procedure

A surgical vaginal rejuvenation will begin with the patient being administered either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free during theVaginal Rejuvenation Charleston procedure.

Your plastic surgeon will carefully mark the areas of the vagina lips that need to be trimmed or reshaped based on your desired outcome. Then, using surgical instruments such as a scalpel, laser, or radiofrequency device, the cosmetic surgeon makes precise incisions to remove excess tissue or excess skin from the labia minora or labia majora.

The surgeon then reshapes and trims the labial tissue to achieve the desired size, symmetry, and appearance, taking care to preserve the natural contours and sensitivity of the area. Your surgeon with close the incisions with dissolvable sutures which minimize scarring and eliminate the need for suture removal.

The surgical site is dressed with sterile dressings, and the patient is provided with instructions for post-operative care, including hygiene, pain management, and activity restrictions.

Labiaplasty Revision

Labiaplasty revision refers to a secondary surgical procedure performed to address unsatisfactory results, complications, or changes in the appearance or functionality of the labia following a previous labiaplasty.

Reasons for a labia reconstruction may include asymmetry, uneven or excess tissue, scarring, loss of sensation, or persistent discomfort. During a labiaplasty revision, the surgeon may need to correct the initial surgical outcome, refine the aesthetic appearance, or address any unforeseen issues that have arisen since the initial procedure.

Labiaplasty Before And After

Labiaplasty before and after images are important visual references that show real results from previous patients who had an enlarged or asymmetrical labia procedure.

The after images showcase the refined contours and improved symmetry achieved through surgery providing insight into potential results and outcomes. Contact us or call (702) 359-5462 to see before and after photos.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Recovery

The labiaplasty recovery process typically involves several key steps. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses.

It’s crucial to rest and avoid strenuous activities during the first week to facilitate healing. Patients should also maintain proper hygiene, gently cleansing the surgical area as directed by their surgeon.

Avoiding sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise for several weeks is essential to prevent complications and promote optimal healing. Be sure to attend follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon to monitor progress and address any concerns.

While individual recovery experiences may vary, most patients can expect to gradually resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks, with final results becoming apparent over time.

Labiaplasty Cost Charleston

The total labiaplasty price can vary depending on various factors such as the surgeon’s experience, geographic location, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and the extent of the procedure required.

Some insurance plans may cover labiaplasty if it’s deemed medically necessary, so it’s advisable to check with your insurance provider regarding coverage options.

Your surgeon will be able to give you the best idea of cost during your initial consultation based the exact techniques that must be undergone.

Labiaplasty FAQS

When Will Labia Majora Surgery Results Be At Their Very Best?

In the first few weeks post-surgery, swelling, soreness, and temporary discoloration will gradually diminish. Typically, most swelling subsides within six weeks, yet it may require four to six months for complete resolution before observing the final outcomes of your labiaplasty.

Who Does The Best Labiaplasty Near Me?

Consider your priorities when selecting your surgeon for labiaplasty, and factor in certain qualities that will impact your decision for the plastic surgery procedure. Review your potential surgeons education and years of experience, reviews, and before and after portfolio. We obviously feel that plastic surgeon Dr. Rachel Mason should be your top choice!

Is Labiaplasty Really Painful?

Labiaplasty is typically a straightforward outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home on the same day. It’s commonly performed under local anesthesia, minimizing concerns about pain during the surgery.

Is It Normal For To Have A Asymmetrical Labia?

The size and shape of genitalia differ widely among individuals. It’s common for the labia, or vaginal lips, to be asymmetrical, with each side having its own distinct shape. This variation is perfectly normal.

Will There Be Much Bleeding From Inner Labia Surgery?

You might have some bleeding for up to a week or so. You can wear a pad to absorb this minor bleeding.

This post-operative bleeding is completely normal and typically decreases each day as the healing process progresses. If you experience heavy bleeding or bleeding that suddenly increases, contact your surgeon immediately as this may require medical attention

Are Labiaplasty Scars Visible?

Labiaplasty scars are typically minimal and well-concealed when performed by a skilled surgeon. The procedure removes excess skin while preserving natural contours, creating a youthful appearance. Modern techniques place incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring. The vaginal canal remains unaffected, and improved hygiene is often a welcome benefit. Unlike other procedures such as breast augmentation, labiaplasty scars fade significantly and become virtually undetectable over time.

Can Labial Reduction Surgery Affect Sexual Sensitivity Or Function?

Labial reduction surgery primarily focuses on improving comfort and aesthetics. While it generally doesn’t directly impact sexual sensation or function, individual experiences may vary, and some patients report enhanced confidence and comfort during sexual activity post-surgery without decreased sensitivity.

How Do I Wash My Labia Operation Area After Surgery?

Only use lukewarm water (without soap) to cleanse your wound. After urination, gently dab or pat the area dry to avoid rubbing the surgical site. Your surgeon might prescribe medication or suggest dietary adjustments to prevent constipation, reducing the risk of straining and potentially affecting stitches.

How Long Do The Results Of Labiaplasty Last?

This is one of the most frequently asked question concerning labiaplasty outcomes. In nearly all instances, the results are deemed permanent.

Can Labiaplasty Be Covered By Insurance?

It’s recommended to consult your insurance provider to determine coverage options, as certain plans may include labiaplasty if it’s deemed medically necessary. However, insurance does not usually cover this procedure.

What Is the Best Age to Get a Labiaplasty?

The optimal age for labiaplasty is after physical maturity, typically 18 years or older, when the woman’s body has fully developed. Most patients are in their twenties through their fifties, choosing this effective surgery when excess vaginal tissue causes discomfort during activities or intimacy. The healing process is generally smooth regardless of age, and the decision should focus on your comfort and well-being rather than on a specific age.

Is Labiaplasty a High Risk Surgery?

Labiaplasty is considered a minor procedure with low risks involved when performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon. This surgery in Charleston and other locations has an excellent safety record. While the vaginal area heals well due to good blood supply, following your surgical plan and post-operative care instructions ensures optimal results. Serious complications are rare, making it an effective surgery for addressing functional and aesthetic concerns.
