What Is Labiaplasty?
A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora, labia majora, or both, often to alleviate discomfort or achieve a desired aesthetic. Many women seek this procedure to address concerns such as irritation, discomfort during physical or sexual activities, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of the labia. At HGH Plastic Surgery, our team of plastic surgeons provides labiaplasty to help individuals feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies. For more information, contact our office in Birmingham, AL.
How Is Labiaplasty Performed?
Labiaplasty at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery may be performed with local anesthesia or general anesthesia and often takes about 2 – 3 hours. During a consultation, we'll discuss surgical goals, the different approaches we might take, and what to expect during and after surgery.
In most cases, labiaplasty is performed using the trim technique, which involves removing excess tissue and suturing the remaining skin for a tighter appearance.
Another common technique is the wedge procedure, which is done by cutting away a wedge-shaped piece of tissue and extra folds around the clitoral hood before stitching the skin closed.

Labiaplasty Reviews
I had a pain free recovery - Scheduled my consult with Dr. Fontana at Hedden & Gunn in Birmingham, Alabama because she took the time to call me and talk through my concerns. I had previously committed to a different surgeon but wasn't 100% confident that he was the surgeon for me. After talking with Dr. Fontana I moved my surgery to Hedden & Gunn. She performed a breast lift, breast implants, Labiaplasty, fat grafting to the labia majoras and a TCA peel under my eyes while I was under general anesthesia. I had a pain free recovery. Some swelling and tightness, which was expected, but no pain. I feel like Dr. Fontana's skills are so good that she did my surgeries so well that it has allowed me to heal fast and feel good the entire time. She is super sweet and patient also. I would follow her all over the country!Updated on 23 Mar 2024:Feeling amazing! I was cleared for light workouts at 3 weeks. My scars are not scary! This has been such a confidence booster. I haven’t purchased new bras yet but I’m having fun filling out my current wardrobe!!

Ever Since a 21 Hr Birth my Labia Have Left Me Feeling Very Insecure - Birmingham, AL - My first child took many hours to get out of me. Afterwards my vajayjay never looked quite the same. I felt very insecure about it. I also developed a hemorrhoid which makes me even further insecure. After my second child, which took 10 hours, my vajayjay and hemorrhoid looked even worse. My first husband (and children's father) would withhold sex from me and would tell me it was because I was ugly and disgusting. I also lost boobage and he would tell me that I was so unsexy. Even though, I lost boobage, they really didn't look that bad. I was still a perky 34B. I was 110 pounds after both kids, I had no stretch marks or anything.... We divorced within a year after the birth of my second child. I have wanted a labiaplasty for years not just because of my first husband's hateful and cruel words but because of my own insecurities And because of the pain I would have from exercise, riding bicycles, sex, clothes, etc., etc. (my kids are now teenagers). I remarried a little over two years ago to a wonderful man who made me feel good about myself and made me feel normal and who did not notice anything at all wrong with me. However, I still had my major insecurities in those areas. So, I recently had labiaplasty done and am undecided about the outcome of it. I think it looks great except for one spot. I am hoping I still have a little swelling but I think it is actually almost healed. Most of my stitches have already come out. It's been itching like crazy for the past couple of days. Clothes are an irritant and it's been hard finding something to wear to work that doesn't look frumpy because all I really want to wear are sweats!I have yet to get the hemorrhoid taken care of and didn't even bring it up with my surgeon but am hoping that at my next gynecologist visit I can bring it up to her and maybe get a procedure covered by insurance. I am really ready to feel sexy again! (Of course, I have gained some weight over the years and I need to drop about 20 lbs to get back into good shape again lol) I am determined to do that after I get my procedures done:)Labiaplasty and hemorrhoids, in my opinion, is one of the hardest things for women to talk about with anyone. It's even embarrassing to talk about it with a doctor and his staff. Absolutely no one knows that I have had this done except me, my doctor and his staff. My husband doesn't even know about the labiaplasty and he was the one with me to bring me home and take care of me after surgery... So this is my only outlet. I also had a breast augmentation done on the same day (under a different review.) My breasts look amazing and are fast healing as well:) I basically told my husband that he keeps his hands off of me for at least six weeks and that he will not even get a peek of my boobies because they have to go through some changes, etc. and he is totally respecting my privacy over it. Which, in turn, gives me my privacy regarding my vajayjay! I have no idea how I'll handle telling him about a hemorrhoid removal if/when I have it but I'll figure something out!
