Labia augmentation with fillers

Labiaplasty of the labia. Laser or scalpel?

Comfort, aesthetics and lack of discomfort are the results of labiaplasty.
Surgery to reduce the labia majora and minora is performed on adult patients (under 18 years of age, parental consent is required) in order to correct the genital area. There are several types of procedure: standard, which is performed using a scalpel, and laser, where tissue is excised using radiation.
According to reviews from patients and doctors, the second type of operation (laser) is simpler - there are no stitches, faster and cheaper, but the risks of decreased sensitivity and uneven edges are high.

Beauty technology: pros and cons of laser

Laser labiaplasty of the labia majora and other folds of skin around the vulva is performed in an equipped operating room.

Pros:

• no need to undergo numerous tests;
• low risk of swelling;
• absence of bleeding due to the “sealing” effect;
• mild pain, no need for powerful analgesics;
• short duration of the procedure itself;
• short postoperative period;
• If you follow all the rules for performing labiaplasty with a laser and recommendations during the recovery period, the woman will receive an excellent result.

Minuses:

• the resulting burn wound takes longer to heal;
• It is not always possible to take into account the thickness of the mucosa.

Indications for labiaplasty

Is it aesthetics or necessity? Both. There are patients who undergo surgery to feel more confident in intimate relationships. For other women, enlarged labia cause physical pain and discomfort and they want to get rid of it.

Intimate labiaplasty can be recommended if the patient experiences psychological or physiological discomfort.

Here are some indications for intervention:

• Pain during sexual intercourse - lips turn inward, or are simply sensitive to friction;
• discomfort during active activities - cycling, horse riding;
• regular irritation from contact with clothing (rubbing, microtrauma);
• difficulties in hygiene of the labia (bacteria accumulate in the folds);
• inability to have a full sex life;
• dissatisfaction with this genital area.

The operation is contraindicated for pregnant women.

Women who are breastfeeding can undergo the procedure under general anesthesia; it is removed in 6 hours; it is necessary to create a supply of milk.

V-shaped resection of the labia minora

V-shaped resection is indicated for elongation of the labia minora in their middle part. In such a situation, a V-shaped flap is excised, then the tissue is sutured along the midline. Self-absorbable suture materials are used. After the operation, there are no scars or marks left, the labia look as natural and proportional as possible. During the operation, not only their size is corrected, but also their shape, and asymmetry is eliminated. Increasingly, labiaplasty is performed using laser technology. This allows you to achieve excellent aesthetic results, accelerate tissue regeneration in the postoperative period and reduce the risk of complications.

Contraindications

Resection of the labia is prohibited if:

• infectious diseases in a patient:
• venereal diseases;
• chronic diseases in the acute stage;
• pregnancy;
• lactation;
• persistent mental disorders;
• oncopathologies;
• poor blood clotting in the patient;
• diabetes mellitus;
• menstruation, as well as a few days after it;
• The patient is under 18 years of age.

Preparation for resection

Before undergoing a labia reduction procedure, you must consult with the plastic surgeon who will perform the operation. It is also necessary to undergo tests. Namely: general urine and blood tests, blood clotting tests, immunodeficiency virus tests, hepatitis and syphilis, find out your blood type and your Rh factor. 14 days before the scheduled date of the operation, the patient must give up tobacco products, hookah and blood thinners (acetylsalicylic acid, tocopherol acetate). If the body is weakened, the plastic surgeon may recommend taking a vitamin complex. The day before surgery you should not have sex.

Complications may include scars that appear after resection of the labia, a decrease or increase in the sensitivity of the genital organs, wound infections, and the appearance of bruises.

Differences between a surgical procedure and a laser procedure

Both methods are effective, but have their advantages and disadvantages. A scalpel requires stitches, and a laser leaves a burn surface that takes a long time to heal.

The most important advantage of laser surgery is that it is bloodless and fast. The wounds are sealed under the action of the device.

Risks

The more experienced the doctor and the more reliable the clinic, the fewer complications the patient will experience. Pay special attention to the selection of a medical center.

Possible consequences after the surgical procedure:

• Hypersensitivity (can last up to 3-4 months when working with a scalpel);
• bleeding;
• overcorrection – excessively large excision of tissue;
• hematoma (resolves within 7-14 days);
• unevenness, jagged edges of the labia minora;
• seam divergence;
• decreased sensitivity (with laser labiaplasty);
• swelling.

Price of labiaplasty

We perform the operation in a classic, time-tested way - with a medical scalpel; we have abandoned laser labiaplasty. Of course, laser technology in medicine is very developed today. However, in labia plastic surgery it is recommended to use laser only for cosmetic purposes - in the procedure of laser rejuvenation of the labia. We were one of the first to try laser in intimate plastic surgery in 2004. Based on our experience and statistics provided by colleagues, we can safely say that with laser labiaplasty, the healing period not only increases, but also a lot of side effects are often observed.

How is labiaplasty performed?

The patient is given anesthesia: with local anesthesia - in the labia, with general anesthesia - intravenously. Next, the woman is placed on the table.

The doctor fixes the mucous membrane and excises excess tissue with a laser or scalpel. The removal technique can be edge or wedge-shaped, depending on the characteristics of the MPG.

After the excess portion of the lips is cut off, stitches are applied. Biodegradable suture material is used, i.e. the threads will dissolve on their own. If this does not happen, you need to visit a doctor after 3 weeks and remove the remaining stitches.

Recovery from anesthesia depends on the type of anesthesia: after local anesthesia, the woman goes home immediately after the operation. After general anesthesia, the patient is left in the hospital for 2 hours.

Rehabilitation

After intimate plastic surgery of the labia, there is a recovery period, which requires compliance with medical instructions. The gynecologist prescribes treatment of sutures with chlorhexidine and miramistin. The intervention site must be treated at least 2 times a day.

• Intense pain can last 1-5 days.
• For the first 3-7 days after surgery, move less, so the swelling will go away faster.
• After 20 days, you can see the preliminary result of labiaplasty.
• After a month, the final effect of the intervention is visible.
• Bath, sauna, swimming pool are contraindicated for 14 days.
• Refusal from sports and active activities for 3-4 weeks.
• Maintain sexual rest for 3-4 weeks.
• Avoid washing with intimate gels containing fragrances.
• For the first month, try not to lift weights, then without restrictions.

Reasons for labiaplasty in women

The labia majora and minora consist entirely of soft tissue - epithelial and connective elements. The presence of a large number of elastic fibers allows the labia to stretch significantly during sexual intercourse, so that in peace the vagina is literally closed from the environment, but sexual contact is painless (normally). Unfortunately, sometimes the elasticity of the labia (especially the labia minora) is impaired due to rapid or complicated childbirth, age-related changes, connective tissue diseases, or excessively bold experiments in bed. Often, intimate plastic surgery of the labia minora is required due to congenital asymmetry, trauma and anatomical pathologies. To eliminate the problem, the surgeon excises excess tissue and sutures the lips, forming an aesthetic and comfortable shape for life. Thus, labia minora surgery is very popular among many women who have reached the age of 30 or have given birth at least once. Within the walls of our advanced and high-tech clinic, you can perform intimate plastic surgery of the labia using modern methods with an evidence base. Here are just some of the benefits of this procedure:

• One hundred percent result, regardless of anatomical and physiological characteristics;
• Relatively short postoperative period;
• Giving the labia not only an aesthetic appearance, but also greater sensitivity during sex;
• A permanent effect that will not disappear after a few months, like a filler when injected to correct aesthetic defects.
