Labiaplasty Procedure
A labiaplasty is a procedure that decrease the size of the labia minora by removing excess skin and making it more symmetrical. It can be performed on its own or in combination with other plastic surgery procedures.
This is an outpatient procedure, usually completed in 1-2 hours under local anesthesia. Discreet incisions are placed in natural creases and folds of the labia, while excess skin is removed, allowing scars to heal with minimal visibility.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Common post-operative symptoms following a labiaplasty are swelling and discomfort which are mostly gone by the first week, and completely gone by six weeks. Occasionally an inflatable donut cushion is a useful tool to make sitting more comfortable after a labiaplasty. Sexual activity is not allowed for six weeks following your surgery. For some patients, sexual sensation will be improved without the extra skin. Dr. Chung will help you manage your discomfort by prescribing pain medicine and will advise you with post-operative care to ensure natural and effective results, as well as a quick recovery.
Dr. Chung's Philosophy
Plastic surgery is a very personal decision and can get overwhelming at times to sort through options that are currently available. As a fellowship trained aesthetic plastic surgeon, I have the knowledge and experience to guide patients during this process. My goal is to listen, understand your objectives, and advise you in selecting a procedure that is right for you. As a woman surgeon, I am compassionate, warm, and honest. You will leave educated and confident that the end result will be beautiful and natural, not overdone.
I truly believe that to be a successful aesthetic plastic surgeon, one has to become the patient’s lifelong aesthetic provider. From non-invasive procedures to surgery, our journey begins together.
