Labiaplasty

Most of the time people think that labiaplasty is painful but it is a highly individualized procedure and can be performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia depending on the area to be treated such as labia minora reduction and/or labia majora reduction and/or clitoral hood reduction.

Labia minora reduction can be performed using a “trim excision” or “wedge excision” technique and it depends on the shape and size of the labia minora. Both techniques involve excising the excess tissue and creating a smaller more symmetric appearing labia.

The surgical incisions for each procedure differ slightly and leave imperceptible scars. Dr. Kitto uses only dissolvable sutures so there will be nothing to be removed.

Labia majora reduction involves removing a crescent shape of tissue from each labia majora. In certain patients who have undergone atrophy fat grafting may also be performed to achieve a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Kitto uses only dissolvable sutures so there will be nothing to remove. The incisions are placed in natural creases and surgical scars become imperceptible over time.

Clitoral hood reduction may also be performed in select patients who have noticed excess tissue or their clitoral hood.

The procedure involves excising a conservative amount of skin in the clitoral hood which can be combined with their labia minora and/or labia majora reduction. All sutures are dissolvable.

The surgical incisions are placed in with attention to detail and scars become imperceptible over time.
