What is Labiaplasty?
The purpose of a labiaplasty in The Woodlands TX at Rivela Plastic Surgery is a surgical procedure to reduce the size and improve the appearance of the labia minora which can become darkened, enlarged, and sagging from childbirth, pregnancy, or a number of other reasons.
During the labiaplasty procedure, Dr, Rivela trims excess labial tissue and recreates the edges of the labia with a natural-looking color and shape. The procedure is performed either under general or local anesthesia. All the stitches will dissolve.
After having the procedure, many women have reported reduced discomfort associated with wearing tight clothing and exercising as well as less pain during intercourse.
