Researchers at the UCL Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Institute of Women’s Health, University College Hospital in London, England conducted a survey to assess what kind of information is available online for women who are considering genital cosmetic surgery (such as labiaplasty). What they found—that many of the websites out there, including plastic surgeons’ websites, are sorely lacking in accurate information about what these kinds of procedures truly entail—is very concerning.
I’m a firm believer in the idea that the best kind of patient is a well-informed patient. Doctors of all specialties, including plastic surgeons, have a responsibility to educate their patients and protect their patients’ interests. That’s why Dr. Chiu-Collins and I do our best to provide accurate information here on our blog and on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center’s website about the procedures we perform, and why we make ourselves available for free consultations at our office.
In my experience, most women who pursue labiaplasty do so because they experience pain or discomfort when wearing tight clothing (such as jeans or yoga pants) or when playing sports or engaging in activities such as bike riding or horseback riding. For others, the desire for the procedure stems from a feeling of shame or embarrassment about the way their genitals look. Regardless of their reasons, I’m always careful to go over the all the labiaplasty information in full – what the procedure entails, what to expect during the recovery process, etc. I want each of my patients to know what they’re getting themselves into before they come in for surgery.

There are thousands of men around the world who feel like misfits in society as they are not comfortable with their gender. They often feel trapped in their current bodies and are unable to adjust to the psyche of a female. This condition is known as gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder and many are interested in undergoing surgery to rectify this problem.
A lot of women feel awkward and embarrassed to engage in sexual intercourse after childbirth, because the vagina muscles become lax and lose firmness. However, this issue can be easily corrected via vaginoplasty and labiaplasty. You can regain your sexual prowess along with a tighter, more youthful vagina at the same time. These procedures also boost confidence and provide subtle motivation for those who are extremely self-conscious.
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reduces the size of the inner lips of the vulva (labia minora) so that they are smaller than the outer lips (labia majora). But what actually happens before, during and after labiaplasty?

It can be a hard thing to give up your nightly glass of wine with dinner, or to say no to a cocktail with friends after work—but if you have a plastic surgery procedure coming up, you should think long and hard before having a drink. Here’s why:
Odds are you’ve heard this new buzzword making its way around the internet and in social circles, but perhaps you aren’t quite sure what a ‘Mommy Makeover’ means. It is a broad term that can include any number of cosmetic procedures and treatments a woman may undergo after childbirth, all of which are aimed at getting your pre-baby body back. These procedures include: breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck, labiaplasty, femilift, and the brazilian butt lift. This buzzword is starting to make waves because more and more moms are opting for such procedures. I love that society is becoming more accepting of a mom’s choice to do so.
Loosening of vaginal muscles can be caused by a multitude of different factors – often times due to childbirth, especially if there is more than one child, but it can also simply be a side effect of aging. Whatever the reason, when vaginal muscles start to loosen, it can lead to an inflated, thick labia that often causes labia discomfort for outdoor activities like cycling and horse riding, and can also hamper your sex life. Some women have a large, distended labia right from the time of birth. No matter what the cause, an experienced plastic surgeon should be able to help.
