Labiaplasty of the Minora

Labiaplasty of the minora is the most frequently performed aesthetic genital procedure. It targets the inner lips of the vulva. The primary goal is to reduce the size of the hypertrophic tissue so that it sits flush with or inside the labia majora.

The two most common techniques are the trim method and the wedge method. The trim method involves removing the dark, irregular edge of the labia. The wedge method removes a pie-shaped piece of tissue from the center, preserving the natural edge.

  • reduction of the vertical height of the labia
  • removal of pigmented edges via the trim technique
  • preservation of natural contour via the wedge technique
  • meticulous hemostasis to prevent hematoma
  • suturing with absorbable materials

Labiaplasty of the Majora

Labiaplasty of the majora addresses the outer lips. This procedure can involve either reduction or augmentation. Reduction is performed when the skin is loose and sagging, often after weight loss or aging. A strip of skin is removed from the inner or outer aspect to tighten the area.

Augmentation is performed when the majora have lost volume and appear deflated. This is typically achieved through autologous fat transfer, where fat is harvested from another part of the body and injected into the labia to restore fullness and youthfulness.

  • excision of redundant lax skin
  • tightening of the outer vulvar contour
  • volume restoration via fat grafting
  • correction of deflated appearance
  • improvement of skin texture and tone

Vaginoplasty (Vaginal Tightening)

Vaginoplasty is a reconstructive procedure designed to tighten the vaginal canal. It addresses the separation of the levator ani muscles that often occurs during childbirth. The surgeon brings these muscles back together with strong sutures, effectively narrowing the diameter of the vagina.

This procedure also involves removing excess vaginal lining (mucosa). The result is increased friction during intercourse and a strengthening of the pelvic floor support structures. It is a powerful functional repair.

  • Application of the levator ani muscles
  • Excision of redundant vaginal mucosa
  • narrowing of the vaginal caliber
  • reinforcement of the rectovaginal septum
  • restoration of pelvic floor integrity

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Clitoral hood reduction, or hoodectomy, removes the excess folds of skin surrounding the clitoris. This is rarely done as a standalone procedure and is usually combined with a labiaplasty to ensure a balanced aesthetic result. If the labia are reduced but the hood remains bulky, the result can look top-heavy.

The incision is carefully planned to avoid the dorsal nerve of the clitoris, which provides sensation. The goal is to streamline the upper vulva without exposing the clitoris to uncomfortable chafing.

  • excision of lateral hood redundancies
  • exposure of the clitoral glans if desired
  • balancing of the upper aesthetic unit
  • protection of the dorsal nerve bundles
  • Integration with labia minora reduction

Perineoplasty

Perineoplasty focuses on the perineum, the bridge of tissue between the vagina and anus. This area is often torn or cut (an episiotomy) during delivery, resulting in scar tissue or laxity. The surgery removes the scar tissue and tightens the superficial muscles.

This procedure not only improves the cosmetic appearance of the vaginal opening but also restores the anatomical barrier between the vagina and rectum. It can significantly reduce pain associated with scar tissue during intimacy.

  • resection of old episiotomy scars
  • reconstruction of the perineal body
  • tightening of the introitus opening
  • elevation of the perineal floor
  • correction of gaping or asymmetry

Monsplasty (Mons Pubis Lift)

Monsplasty addresses the mons pubis, the fatty mound above the genitals. Excess fat here can be reduced with liposuction. If the skin is loose and sagging, a horizontal incision is made (similar to a C-section scar or tummy tuck) to remove the skin and lift the remaining tissue.

This procedure prevents the mons from bulging in clothing and restores a flatter, more aesthetic contour to the lower abdomen and pubic area.

  • Liposuction of the mons pubis fat pad
  • excision of horizontal skin excess
  • suspension of the mons tissue
  • reduction of pubic protrusion
  • flattening of the suprapubic region

Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty is the surgical reconstruction of the hymen. It involves finding the remnants of the torn hymen and suturing them back together using delicate, dissolvable stitches. This is primarily a cultural or personal restoration procedure.

The healing process creates a membrane that will tear and bleed upon subsequent intercourse. It is a delicate procedure that requires precise tissue handling to ensure proper healing without excessive scarring.

  • identification of hymenal remnants
  • microsurgical approximation of tissue
  • creation of a membranous barrier
  • Use of fine absorbable sutures
  • restoration of pre-coital anatomy

Labia Majora Puffing (Fillers/Fat)

Aside from surgical reduction, the labia majora can be rejuvenated through volumizing. Hyaluronic acid fillers or the patient’s own fat can be injected to plump up deflated lips. This helps cover the inner labia and provides a more youthful, cushioned appearance.

Fat grafting offers a longer-lasting result compared to fillers. The fat is harvested via gentle liposuction, processed, and carefully injected into the labia majora.

  • injection of hyaluronic acid fillers
  • autologous fat harvesting and transfer
  • restoration of protective volume
  • concealment of the labia minora
  • improvement of skin hydration and quality

Radiofrequency Treatments (Non Surgical)

Radiofrequency (RF) devices deliver controlled thermal energy to the vaginal and vulvar tissues. This heat stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin and improves blood flow. It is used for mild tightening and to improve vaginal lubrication.

Treatments are typically performed in a series. They are painless and require no downtime. While they cannot replicate the results of surgery for significant laxity, they are excellent for maintenance and mild symptoms.

  • delivery of thermal energy to the mucosa
  • stimulation of neocollagenesis
  • improvement in vaginal vascularization
  • non-invasive tightening of mild laxity
  • enhancement of natural lubrication

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation

Laser therapies, such as CO2 or Erbium lasers, are used to resurface the vaginal lining and stimulate deep tissue regeneration. The laser creates microscopic channels in the tissue, triggering a healing response that tightens and rejuvenates the mucosa.

This can be effective for treating stress urinary incontinence and vaginal dryness associated with menopause. It improves the health and elasticity of the vaginal walls.

  • fractional laser resurfacing of mucosa
  • induction of tissue remodeling
  • treatment of mild stress incontinence
  • relief from genitourinary syndrome of menopause
  • controlled ablation of epithelial layers

G Spot Amplification

This procedure involves injecting a filler, such as hyaluronic acid or autologous fat, into the anterior vaginal wall. The goal is to increase the size and projection of the G-spot area to enhance sensitivity and sexual gratification.

It is a quick, office-based procedure performed under local anesthesia. The results are temporary if fillers are used, requiring repeat treatments to maintain the effect.

  • injection into the anterior vaginal wall
  • augmentation of the sensitive zone
  • use of biocompatible fillers
  • enhancement of sexual stimulation
  • minimally invasive office procedure

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy

PRP therapy involves drawing the patient’s blood, spinning it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting this plasma into the clitoris and vaginal walls. Platelets contain growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and increased blood flow.

This treatment is often sought to increase sexual sensitivity and orgasm intensity. It is a natural approach that utilizes the body’s own healing mechanisms.

  • Isolation of platelet-rich plasma
  • injection into the clitoral and vaginal tissues
  • release of regenerative growth factors
  • enhancement of neurovascular function
  • promotion of tissue vitality

Combined Mommy Makeover Protocols

Genital aesthetic procedures are frequently combined with other body contouring surgeries as part of a “Mommy Makeover.” A labiaplasty or vaginoplasty can be performed alongside a tummy tuck or breast surgery.

Combining procedures reduces total recovery time and allows for a comprehensive restoration of the body. Safety protocols regarding anesthesia time are strictly followed when combining surgeries.

  • integration with abdominal and breast surgery
  • single anesthesia event for multiple corrections
  • comprehensive postpartum restoration
  • optimization of recovery timelines
  • strict adherence to safety limits

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between the trim and wedge technique?

Fecal incontinence is the inability to fully control bowel movements, leading to accidental leakage of stool or gas.

Laser tightening is effective for mild laxity and improving tissue quality (lubrication, elasticity). However, it cannot repair separated muscles or remove significant excess skin. For severe laxity or muscle damage, surgery is the only practical option.

When fat is transferred, a percentage of it (usually 60-70%) survives and becomes permanent living tissue. The body absorbs the rest. Once the surviving fat stabilizes (usually after 3 months), the results are long-lasting, though they will age naturally with you.

Yes, you can. Labiaplasty does not affect your ability to have children. However, a vaginoplasty (muscle tightening) is best saved until you are finished having children, as a subsequent vaginal delivery would likely tear the repair and reverse the results.

In almost all genital surgeries, surgeons use dissolvable (absorbable) sutures. They typically break down and fall out on their own within 2 to 4 weeks. You do not need to have them removed, as this can increase comfort during recovery.
