Feeling comfortable with yourself in your body is extremely important for one’s emotional well-being. Amongst other very common physical concerns, women may be uncomfortable with the outward of their vagina. The enlargement of the labia may begin at puberty for some. For others, these changes may result from childbirth or the effects of aging. The common denominator for all is physical and emotional discomfort with their external appearance. This can lead to difficultly with particular styles of underwear and clothing, limitations in exercise, reduced self-confidence and may also have a negative effect on how you feel with your sexual partner. Labiaplasty with New York plastic surgeon, Dr. Jonathan Fugo, can help restore your feminine figure and improve your self-esteem.

Reasons to Consider Labiaplasty and Vaginal Rejuvenation in New York

Physical appearance is just one of the reasons why many women consider labiaplasty. While restoring a youthful contour to the labia is often one of the main concerns, there are several other benefits to having a labiaplasty procedure.

Women who undergo labiaplasty often feel more confident with their appearance, their choice of underwear or swimwear, and more confident with their sexual partners. Minimizing worry or shyness about your appearance, women feel more comfortable. Labiaplasty in New York can also help to prevent hygiene-related issues caused by hard-to-reach bacteria and may also help to relieve any physical discomfort resulting from loose or excess skin.

Whether you’re a young female dealing with an undesirable appearance of normal development, a mother whose body has undergone countless transformations or you are simply wanting to renew your figure from the effects of gravity and aging, labiaplasty can work to give you the look and personal comfort you want.

Will a Labiaplasty or Vaginal Rejuvenation reduce feeling or sensitivity?

As with any surgery, labiaplasty carries with it certain risks. We fully inform you of the risks so you can weigh the pros and cons, and ultimately decide what’s right for you. Although labiaplasty has a slight risk of altering sensation, this is a truly rare complication. Transient, temporary change in sensation may occasionally occur, but gradually the sensation normalizes as the area heals.

It’s critical to choose an experienced labiaplasty surgeon. One of the reasons to do so is to mitigate the risk of serious complications. Your surgeon should have a complete understanding of the anatomy of the labia and vulva, and understand how tissues can be modified without compromising sensitivity. The labia also serve a functional purpose because they protect the vagina, so your surgeon must understand the degree of resection that is reasonable.

Dr. Jonathan Fugo is a board-certified plastic surgeon. He has been performing labiaplasty for more than 15 years and it is one of the more common procedures in his practice. He has the skill and experience necessary to minimize the risks associated with labiaplasty. We encourage you to discuss any concerns you have about this procedure with Dr. Fugo.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for a Labiaplasty or Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Candidates for a labiaplasty should be in good health, non-smokers, and not currently suffering from any infection or underlying health conditions that may complicate their surgery or recovery. Women over the age of 18 who experience discomfort or chafing because of enlarged labia can benefit from this procedure as it will help relieve pain and irritation when playing sports, during physical activity, and while wearing tight-fitting clothes.

Patients who have a gynecologic disease will not be suitable candidates for a labiaplasty. If you are unsure whether or not you are healthy enough to undergo a labiaplasty procedure, we recommend speaking with your gynecologist before seeking out treatment.

What Type of Anesthesia is Used for a Labiaplasty?

Local anesthetic combined with a topical anesthesia is the most common way to perform labiaplasty. This method allows you to avoid traditional anesthesia, IV’s, intubation and the sometimes lengthy recovery from general anesthesia. Having said that, IV sedation or general anesthesia can be utilized if the patient so chooses. You and Dr. Fugo will discuss the options during your consultation and come to an arrangement you’re comfortable with.

Once you are comfortable, Dr. Fugo will begin the surgery by making a discreet and careful incision in the natural folds of the vaginal skin.

Patient Testimonial

“In my three year journey in search of an ideal surgeon, none compared to Dr. Fugo. He acknowledged, crafted and listened to every detail of my cosmetic surgery expectations and exceeded them all. He was patient with my numerous questions and concerns, and never made me feel like they were trivial. His staff also warrants outstanding accolades as they are a reflection of him and his welcoming work ethic. At other offices I’ve visited within a 50 mi radius (there were seven in total), either the staff looked ‘plastic’ or the doctor was apathetic to my concerns. Despite these potentially unnerving experiences, I pressed on and am happy to say that I highly recommend Dr. Fugo for any and all cosmetic or medical plastic surgery needs. I hope this review helps you with your personal journey. Many thanks Dr. Fugo!”

Will I Have Any Scars After My Labiaplasty?

Technically, any surgical incision leaves a scar in its place as the tissue heals. There are a few labiaplasty techniques, so the exact location of the scar on the labia will depend on which technique is used, but done correctly, these scars are well-hidden in the natural folds and creases of the vulvar tissue.

How Long Do Labiaplasty or Non-Operative Results Last?

Labiaplasty provides permanent results. The tissue that is removed is gone for good. It’s possible you could notice changes in the looseness or sagginess of labia tissue with advanced aging and the natural effect of gravity, but it’s unlikely to be to the extent you experienced before labiaplasty.

As your body recovers, you will realize the effects of your labiaplasty. You will notice a more youthful contour, which may help you to feel more comfortable and confident with your figure.
