Labiaplasty in Atlanta, GA

Although it typically isn't talked about a lot, many women have concerns about the shape and size of their vaginal lips, which may make them feel less confident in intimate situations. Plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang wants to help Atlanta, GA women feel more comfortable and attractive with vaginal rejuvenation surgery that corrects the size and shape of the labia. The labia, which are the external lips of the vaginal area, may look larger or have loose skin due to genetics, natural aging, pregnancy, childbirth, or an injury. A labiaplasty surgically reduces the size of the labia minora and/or majora to create an improved look, which could also minimize discomfort and irritation while raising sexual pleasure and confidence. Schedule a consult at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery in Duluth, GA to learn more.

Rejuve Plastic Surgery understands that there are many factors, including age and features we are born with, that can result in undesirable or unideal feminine anatomy. With a labiaplasty with Dr. Mang, you will benefit from a number of factors, including:

• Ability to customize your procedure with your doctor
• Change the shape of labia and other outer vaginal anatomy
• Reduce size of labia
• Improve your self-confidence and sexual pleasure

A labiaplasty at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery can be helpful for Atlanta, GA women who are worried about the shape and size of their labia, which could be enlarged due to genetics, childbirth, or some sort of physical trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips can cause discomfort, pain, irritation, or itching when engaging in physical activities, like sex and exercise. Surgical vaginal rejuvenation can also help if you avoid wearing revealing outfits (such as leggings, yoga pants, or bathing suits) because of the size of your labia. While a labiaplasty shouldn't affect your ability to get pregnant, Dr. Mang suggests you wait until you are done childbearing to avoid undoing your results.

Labiaplasty procedures at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery can often be completed in one of our private procedure rooms under local anesthesia so you can drive yourself to and from your appointment. If your treatment plan is more complex, you may need general anesthesia so you will need a responsible friend or family member to drive you home after your surgery. Dr. Mang will discuss your treatment plan and time estimates during your consultation so you can make all needed arrangements before your procedure. A labiaplasty is most often done with a trimming technique to remove loose tissue, then the remaining skin is stitched together. Another technique available is the wedge procedure, which cuts away a triangular area of skin and extra folds from the clitoris before suturing the remaining tissue closed.

You should plan to take about a week to recover following your labiaplasty to allow swelling and discomfort to fade. Dr. Mang suggests applying a cold compress or ice pack if needed to minimize inflammation. You should avoid sexual activity or the use of tampons for 4 – 6 weeks following your procedure to allow for proper healing. Our patients usually see visible improvements in about six weeks and final results about six months after the procedure. The results of a labiaplasty usually last for a long time; however, natural aging, significant weight fluctuations, and childbirth can impact results.

How much does a labiaplasty cost?
Vaginal rejuvenation surgery costs will be dependent on several factors. During your initial consultation with Dr. Mang, he will understand your concerns and goals before developing your personalized treatment plan. Once you've made your choices for your vaginal rejuvenation surgery, Dr. Mang can start to estimate your costs. Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery accepts several payments, and we can help you find low-interest financing.

Should I choose Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery or an OB/GYN?
As you research vaginal rejuvenation surgery, you will discover that many OB/GYNs (obstetricians and gynecologists) offer labiaplasty. Although most OB/GYNs are capable of performing a labiaplasty, the procedure is most often considered cosmetic. An OB/GYN can remove loose skin from your labia, but a skilled surgeon like Dr. Mang will focus on the aesthetics as well. This ensures minimal scarring, and your final symmetry, color, and contour are natural in both appearance and feel.

Will vaginal rejuvenation surgery cause insensitivity?
As with any surgery, you may have some numbness in the treated area for a while. This is usually temporary as the vaginal tissue and skin recover. For those concerned about sexual sensitivity, it is important to realize that a labiaplasty addresses the vaginal lips and will not affect the clitoris. An accomplished surgeon like Dr. Mang, who has years of training and experience performing labiaplasties will work around the clitoris so that a loss of sensitivity does not occur.

What is the recovery process like after a labiaplasty?
Before your surgery, Dr. Mang or someone on his talented team will discuss what to expect after your labiaplasty, plus suggestions to make your recovery more comfortable. You will expect some swelling and bruising in the treated areas, along with a certain amount of discomfort right after your surgery. You should plan to stay home for at least 5 – 7 days before resuming light activities. Dr. Mang will assess your healing in your follow-up appointments and let you know when you can resume sexual activity and exercise.

Are there nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments?
There are nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments that may help to improve mild vaginal laxity. However, a labiaplasty is better for significant improvements to tighten and re-shape your labia. In your initial consultation with Dr. Mang, he will review your options and make recommendations on what will meet your needs and goals.

Whether talked about in whispers or not talked about at all, the shape and size of your outer labia can cause confidence issues in intimate settings or when wearing tight clothing. Talk to plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang about your needs and concerns so he can create a unique labiaplasty surgical plan to bring you comfort to your life.
