Reasons to get a Labiaplasty

Eliminate irritation and chafing during exercise, cycling, or everyday activities. Many patients find relief from discomfort they've experienced for years.

Many women report improved comfort and confidence during intimate moments, free from concerns about appearance or physical discomfort.

Natural, Balanced Aesthetics

Achieve a refined, harmonious appearance that looks and feels natural. Dr. Neavin's artistic approach ensures results that complement your body.

Expected Results

Labiaplasty delivers both functional relief and aesthetic improvement. Most patients experience a significant reduction in physical discomfort along with renewed confidence in their appearance. Results are permanent and designed to look completely natural.

Immediate Relief

Once initial healing occurs, patients typically notice immediate relief from the irritation and discomfort that prompted them to seek surgery. Activities that were once uncomfortable become enjoyable again.

Natural Appearance

Dr. Neavin's meticulous technique creates results that look entirely natural—refined and balanced, as if you were simply born this way. The goal is never an "operated" appearance.

Preserved Sensation

Careful surgical technique ensures preservation of nerve endings and sensitivity. Patients report maintained or even enhanced sensation following complete healing.

Technical Specifications

Labiaplasty Surgical Techniques

Dr. Neavin employs several techniques for labiaplasty, selecting the optimal approach based on each patient's unique anatomy and goals. His expertise allows him to customize the procedure to achieve the most natural-looking results while preserving sensation and function.

01

Trim Technique

The trim technique involves removing excess tissue along the edge of the labia minora, creating a neat, defined border. This approach is well-suited for patients with uniform excess tissue along the entire labial edge.

Advantages include straightforward execution and the ability to address pigmentation concerns at the labial edge. Dr. Neavin uses fine suturing techniques to minimize visible scarring and ensure smooth, natural-looking results.

02

Wedge Technique

The wedge technique removes a V-shaped section of tissue from the central portion of the labia, preserving the natural edge. This approach maintains the natural border and pigmentation of the labia while reducing overall size.

Dr. Neavin often prefers this technique because it preserves the natural labial contour and can provide excellent symmetry. The incision is hidden within the natural folds, resulting in minimal visible scarring.

03

Combined Approach

For some patients, a combination of techniques provides the best outcome. Dr. Neavin may use elements of both trim and wedge techniques to address asymmetry or varying degrees of excess tissue in different areas.

This customized approach allows for precise sculpting tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

04

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Some patients have excess tissue in the clitoral hood area that can be addressed simultaneously with labiaplasty. This additional refinement creates overall balance and harmony in the result.

Dr. Neavin evaluates each patient’s anatomy comprehensively to determine whether clitoral hood reduction would enhance the overall outcome.

Estimated Investment
$6,000 - $10,000
Labiaplasty cost varies based on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional refinements (such as clitoral hood reduction) are included. The investment covers surgeon fees, facility and operating room fees, anesthesia, and all pre and post-operative care. Dr. Neavin believes that every woman deserves to feel comfortable and confident, and the practice offers financing options through CareCredit and Prosper Healthcare Lending to help make this procedure accessible. Labiaplasty is considered an elective cosmetic procedure and is typically not covered by insurance, even when performed for functional reasons. However, our office can provide documentation if you wish to submit a claim to your insurance provider. Your consultation includes a detailed discussion of costs with no hidden fees, so you can make an informed decision.

Your Privacy and Comfort Are Our Priority

01

Complete Discretion

We understand that labiaplasty is a deeply personal decision. From your first phone call to your final follow-up, your privacy is protected at every step. Consultations take place in private rooms, and our staff is trained to handle sensitive procedures with the utmost discretion. Your medical records are confidential, and we never share information without your explicit consent. Many patients appreciate that our practice environment feels welcoming and non-judgmental—a space where you can discuss your concerns openly and honestly.

Surgery Day Journey

Arrival and Preparation

You'll arrive at our accredited surgical facility approximately one hour before your procedure. After changing into a surgical gown, you'll meet with the nursing team and anesthesiologist. Dr. Neavin will review the surgical plan with you and make any final markings.

Anesthesia

Labiaplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation (you're relaxed but awake) or general anesthesia (fully asleep), depending on your preference and the extent of the procedure. Dr. Neavin discusses options during your consultation so you can choose what's most comfortable for you.

The Procedure

The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours. Using precise microsurgical techniques, Dr. Neavin carefully reshapes the labial tissue according to your customized surgical plan. Fine, dissolvable sutures close the incisions for optimal healing and minimal scarring.

Comprehensive
Aftercare Support

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and beautiful results. Dr. Neavin's team provides comprehensive support throughout your recovery, with clear guidance and availability for any questions or concerns.

Wound Care and Hygiene

Keep the area clean and dry. Use a peri bottle or gentle rinse after using the restroom. Avoid baths, pools, and hot tubs until cleared by Dr. Neavin (typically 4-6 weeks). Pat dry gently—never rub. Wear loose cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing.

Activity Restrictions

Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and exercise for the first 2-3 weeks. Sexual intercourse and tampon use are restricted for approximately 6 weeks. Walking is encouraged for circulation. Gradually return to normal activities as healing progresses and Dr. Neavin clears you at follow-up appointments.

Managing Discomfort

Some swelling and discomfort are normal and improve daily. Ice packs (wrapped in cloth, 20 minutes on/20 minutes off) help reduce swelling in the first few days. Take pain medication as prescribed or recommended. Contact our office if you experience unexpected symptoms such as excessive bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection.

Healing Timeline

Every patient heals differently, but this timeline offers a general guide for your return to daily life.

Days 1-3: Initial Recovery

Expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Rest is essential during this period. Ice packs (wrapped in cloth) can help reduce swelling. You may experience some spotting, which is normal. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Pain is typically manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.

Days 4-14: Early Healing

Swelling begins to improve noticeably. You can gradually return to light daily activities and desk work. Continue to avoid tight clothing, strenuous activity, and anything that puts pressure on the surgical area. Sutures are typically dissolvable and do not require removal. Good hygiene remains important.

Weeks 3-6: Continued Recovery

Most swelling has resolved by this point. Light exercise (walking, upper body workouts) can typically resume around week 3-4 with Dr. Neavin's approval. Avoid sexual intercourse, tampon use, and vigorous lower body exercise until cleared at your follow-up appointment, usually around 6 weeks.

Months 2-6: Final Results

Full healing is complete by 3-6 months. Any residual swelling resolves, and the final contour is visible. Sensation continues to normalize. Most patients report complete satisfaction with both comfort and appearance by this stage.

Safety &
Potential Risks

Labiaplasty is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Neavin takes every precaution to minimize risks and discusses all potential complications during your private consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.

Important Considerations

  • Temporary Swelling and Bruising: Expected after surgery and resolves over several weeks. Cold compresses and rest help manage these normal post-operative effects.
  • Asymmetry: Perfect symmetry is not achievable in any surgical procedure. Dr. Neavin works meticulously to create balanced results, though minor differences are normal and natural.
  • Changes in Sensation: Temporary numbness or altered sensation is common initially. Permanent changes in sensation are rare when surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon using proper technique.
  • Scarring: Incisions are placed in natural folds and heal to become nearly invisible in most patients. Proper wound care supports optimal scar maturation.
  • Infection: Rare with proper sterile technique and post-operative care. Signs of infection should be reported immediately.
  • Over-Correction: Removing too much tissue can lead to functional issues. Dr. Neavin’s conservative, patient-centered approach prioritizes natural results over aggressive reduction.
  • Wound Separation: Minor wound separation can occasionally occur due to the area’s moisture and movement. This typically heals well with appropriate care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is labiaplasty painful?
Most patients describe discomfort as mild to moderate, similar to soreness rather than sharp pain. Swelling causes most of the discomfort, and this improves significantly within the first week. Pain medication (prescription or over-the-counter) effectively manages any discomfort during the initial recovery period.
Will labiaplasty affect sensation or sexual pleasure?
When performed by an experienced surgeon using proper technique, labiaplasty should not negatively affect sensation. Dr. Neavin uses meticulous microsurgical methods to preserve nerve endings. Many patients report maintained or even enhanced sensation once fully healed, often due to the relief from discomfort that previously interfered with intimacy.
How long until I can resume sexual activity?
Most patients are cleared for sexual intercourse at approximately 6 weeks post-surgery, once healing is sufficiently complete. Dr. Neavin evaluates your progress at follow-up appointments and provides personalized guidance on when it's safe to resume intimate activity.
Will there be visible scarring?
Incisions are placed within natural folds and contours, and the tissue in this area heals exceptionally well. Most patients find that scars are virtually invisible once fully healed (typically 6-12 months). Dr. Neavin's precise suturing technique minimizes any visible scarring.
Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, labiaplasty is commonly combined with clitoral hood reduction for comprehensive rejuvenation. It can also be performed as part of a mommy makeover or alongside other body contouring procedures. Dr. Neavin discusses all options during your consultation.
