Labiaplasty – Montreal, QC

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes the excess tissue from an enlarged labia minora.

Labiaplasties are becoming an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure. The goal of a labiaplasty is to remove the excess tissue and mucosa in the genital labia minora for the aesthetic purposes, or for issues for many women have when engaging in a variety of physical activities, including sexual intercourse. Here are some of the techniques that we offer in the clinic.

Wedge resection

The wedge resection technique decreases the prominence and hyperpigmentation of the labia minora (inner labia) by removing a wedge from each side. Dark pigmentation can also be removed, if centrally located, however, if the hyperpigmentation is along the entire length of the labia minora then a reduction may be necessary.

Trim technique

The trim technique makes it possible to equalize the length of the labia minora as symmetrical as possible. This technique removes the unwanted colour from the borders of the labia minora.

Wedge resection with extension

Chosen by most patients, this technique modifies the excess clitoral hood tissue and spreads forward on either side. The clitoral hood reduction incision camouflages itself in the fold already present between the labia minora and majora.

Wedge resection with posterior release

Some patients have posterior communication between their two labia minora. The anatomy of each patient must be evaluated and in some cases the posterior part needs to be released through a small incision to prevent discomfort during sex.

Labia majora reduction

The labia majora (outer labia) can be reduced through different techniques, such as fat grafting, direct resection, or radiofrequency. Direct excision is done by camouflaging the scar in the fold between the labia minora and labia majora in an elliptical fashion. This procedure can sometimes be combined with labiaplasty, with some additional recovery time required.

Reduction of clitoral excess

Excess skin on either side of the clitoris can be resected without labiaplasty if there is no excess in the labia minora. The incisions are camouflaged in the natural folds on each side of the clitoris.

Labiaplasty

How does a labiaplasty work exactly?

The term ‘labiaplasty,” refers to external vaginal surgery or nymphoplasty, covering several different procedures. They seek to reduce or reorganize the tissue covering the clitoris and the vaginal opening to better define the inner lips through various techniques.

The most popular technique at Clinique Evolution is the wedge resection with extension, but we offer options for all body types and goals. Dr F. Caron will offer you the best method that suits you and explain the advantages and disadvantages.

What is the recovery time associated with a labiaplasty?

Most women tolerate this procedure very well under local anesthetic topical cream (no need for general anesthesia) followed by local infiltration, listening to music for entertainment during the procedure, which lasts approximately one hour.

Most women are back to their daily activities within 3 to 5 days while recovering from a labiaplasty. The first 2-3 days are more painful but easily managed with over the counter pain medication. It is important to avoid exercise for 2 for the first two weeks, while sexual activity and tampon insertion should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

Usually, the incisions heal quickly and leave very inconspicuous scars. Post-operatively, you will receive a document indicating exactly what to do and what not to do.
