Labiaplasty in Palm Desert, CA
The labia can change in size or appearance due to aging, pregnancy, or childbirth. Excess tissue in the labia can cause daily discomfort, irritation during exercise, or difficulty wearing certain types of clothing. Labiaplasty reshapes the labia to improve comfort and reduce excess skin.
Eko Plastic Surgery offers this procedure to patients in Coachella Valley, Palm Desert, and nearby areas.
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a female genital cosmetic surgery used to restore the shape, size, or appearance of the labia, also known as the vaginal lips. By reducing the size of the labia, this vaginal rejuvenation procedure may address problems some women experience as a result of an excessive increase in the size of the labia.
Labiaplasty also enhances the aesthetic appearance of the labia while reducing the discomfort caused by enlarged labial lips during exercise, intercourse, or other physical activities. In this way, labiaplasty produces both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty may be suitable if you experience discomfort from enlarged or uneven labia, especially during movement or intimacy. Candidates often seek labia reduction surgery to improve function, reduce irritation, or address changes after childbirth or aging.
However, the procedure may not be advised if you’re currently pregnant, have certain chronic conditions, or are prone to poor wound healing.
What Is the Procedure Like?
The labiaplasty procedure will vary depending on your specific treatment goals. Generally, it is performed under general anesthesia and on an outpatient basis, meaning you may go home after your procedure.
Excess labial tissues are trimmed and removed to create the desired results. The surgery will enhance the comfort, function, and appearance of the labial lips. A labiaplasty procedure typically takes one to two hours.
What Should You Expect During Recovery?
After a labiaplasty, there is an initial recovery period of one to two weeks. During this time, patients must take time off work and other activities to ensure a smooth recovery. Expect swelling, bruising, and varying discomfort. Due to the sensitivity of the treatment area, it may be up to two months before patients can resume intercourse, exercise, and other strenuous activities.
The results of your labiaplasty will be visible immediately. However, you may not be able to notice the full results of treatment until swelling and other side effects begin to fade. Most patients see the full results of their labiaplasty within two to three months.
The results from labiaplasty are permanent, but the labial lips continue to be susceptible to the natural aging process. Future childbirth can also impact your results, so patients are encouraged to put off their labiaplasty procedure until they are finished having children.
What Are the Benefits of Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can help improve both physical comfort and personal wellness. Patients often choose it to address symptoms caused by excess or uneven labial tissue. Benefits may include:
- Reduced irritation and chafing during physical activities such as walking, biking, or exercising
- Improved comfort in fitted clothing like leggings, swimsuits, or underwear
- Enhanced hygiene by minimizing folds where moisture or bacteria can collect
- More balanced appearance of the labia minora and/or labia majora
- Relief from discomfort during intimacy or other forms of physical contact
- Long-lasting results with little visible scarring when performed by an experienced surgeon

FAQs about Labiaplasty
Is labiaplasty performed under general anesthesia?
Labiaplasty can be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort level and the extent of the procedure. Dr. Eko will discuss the safest and most appropriate option during your consultation.
How long before I can return to normal activities?
Most patients return to non-strenuous daily tasks within a few days. However, activities like exercise and sexual intercourse are typically delayed for about four to six weeks to allow proper healing.
Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?
Many patients combine labiaplasty with other body sculpting treatments such as a tummy tuck or liposuction. Dr. Eko will determine if combining procedures is suitable for your case.
Does labiaplasty affect childbirth in the future?
Labiaplasty does not interfere with your ability to give birth. However, future vaginal deliveries may affect the appearance of the tissue, which is something to consider when timing your procedure.
Are there age restrictions for labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is generally recommended for patients at least 18 years old, after the body has fully matured. The decision must be made for personal and physical reasons, not external pressure.
