Is Labiaplasty Painful?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure rather than an injection-based treatment. However, we use local or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Most patients describe mild discomfort during recovery, which is well-managed with prescribed medication.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

You’ll typically need a consultation, one surgical appointment, and at least one follow-up visit to monitor healing. Additional check-ins may be recommended based on your recovery progress.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Initial results are visible once swelling subsides, usually within a few weeks. Final results can be appreciated around the 6–8 week mark, with continued refinement over several months.

Can I Combine Labiaplasty with Other Procedures?

Yes, many patients in Sandy Springs choose to combine labiaplasty with other procedures such as a mommy makeover , liposuction , or a thigh lift . We can create a customized surgical plan based on your goals.

What Are the Risks Associated with Labiaplasty?

As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, changes in sensation, or scarring. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Familusi significantly reduces these risks and ensures the highest standard of care.

Introduction to Labiaplasty

In a world where self-care is evolving beyond the surface, more women are embracing the power of choice when it comes to their bodies. Labiaplasty is not simply a cosmetic procedure—it is a deeply personal decision rooted in comfort, confidence, and autonomy. Whether addressing physical discomfort, restoring balance after childbirth, or seeking harmony with one’s own reflection, labiaplasty represents a modern, empowering path towards self confidence. At Élevé Plastic Surgery, we explore the nuances of the procedure, dispel common myths, and guide you through what it truly means to take control of your body’s narrative—with dignity, discretion, and expert care.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and/or labia majora (outer vaginal lips). It is often performed to alleviate discomfort from chafing, irritation, or tugging during physical activity, intercourse, or while wearing tight clothing.

While this procedure is often associated with cosmetic improvements, it also serves important functional purposes. In Sandy Springs, labiaplasty is increasingly chosen by women who want to feel more comfortable and regain confidence in their bodies after life changes like childbirth or aging.

What Are the Benefits of Labiaplasty?

The decision to undergo labiaplasty is deeply personal, but many patients report significant emotional and physical relief. Common benefits include:

Improved comfort during exercise, intercourse, and daily activities
Enhanced confidence in tight clothing, swimsuits, or lingerie
Restored symmetry or appearance after trauma or childbirth
Reduced irritation or discomfort caused by enlarged labia
Long-lasting results with minimal visible scarring

Many of our patients in Sandy Springs find the results of their labiaplasty to be life-enhancing, both physically and emotionally.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Labiaplasty?

Ideal candidates for labiaplasty at Élevé Plastic Surgery in Sandy Springs are individuals who:

Experience physical discomfort from enlarged or asymmetrical labia
Feel self-conscious about the appearance of their labia
Are in good physical health and have realistic expectations
Have completed puberty and are not currently pregnant
Are non-smokers or can quit prior to surgery and recovery

If you’re unsure whether labiaplasty is right for you, we recommend scheduling a private consultation to explore your options and goals.

What to Expect on the Day of Labiaplasty Surgery

Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the surgical plan. The procedure generally takes one to two hours; most patients can return home the same day.

Dr. Familusi uses advanced surgical techniques to trim excess tissue, improve symmetry, and carefully suture the area for optimal healing. The incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring while preserving sensation and function.

Labiaplasty Recovery

Recovery from labiaplasty is relatively straightforward, but following all post-op instructions closely is important. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common for the first few days, and most patients take a week off from work or school to rest.

Patients can typically resume light activity within a few days, but should avoid strenuous exercise, intercourse, and tampon use for about 4–6 weeks. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and answer any questions you may have along the way.
