Rejuvenation of the Labia A labia minora is a soft tissue around the entrance to the vagina.  The size of the labia minora differs in every individual.  Some women do have a normal size of it, but others do have an unusually large lip that tends to emerge out beyond the labia majora.  An over-sized labia minora not only cause an unusually large appearance, but often brings discomfort when doing a lot of various strenuous physical exercises, it swells during every monthly period for some women, gives discomfort when one wears tight-fitting jeans and causes a discomfort during a coitus.

Causes of Abnormally Large Labia Minora

  • Some unusually large labia minora are birth defects.  Some tissues grow thick and enlarge.  It sticks out and causes discomfort.
  • Repetitive pulling of the genital lips will cause the tissues to stretch out and unable to draw back to its original state.
  • Women during pregnancy stage usually gain a lot of weight and accumulate fat elsewhere, the labia minor is no exception.
  • Age for women is one underlying factor that contributes looseness of the tissues around the labia minora.

Libiaplasty Procedure

  • Labiaplasty is a minor surgical procedure.  It is performed without general anesthesia and the patient doesn’t go through the pre-operative routine.
  • The doctor uses a local anesthesia on the target area and it is painless.
  • Only the unusually big labia is reconstructed to reshape the external genital structure.
  • It takes only 45 minutes to do the procedure. The incision will be sutured with catguts, which will eventually dissolve by itself in the passage of time.
  • The incision would be slightly swollen for 3-5 days and will gradually diminish.  Complete recovery is expected within a week or two.
  • The patient can go straight home after the labiaplasty is done.

Post-Operative Care
 
  • Wash the corrected area with clean water in the morning and in the evening and after urinating or defecating to prevent from infection or inflammation.
  • Take a bath regularly with soap and gently wash the treated area as it is necessary.
  • Take in food, but avoid alcoholic drinks during the recuperation period.
  • Refrain from having sex contact for a month.
  • Visit the doctor for a follow up check.
