The outer lips of the vagina (the labia majora) often stretch and enlarge due to aging, childbirth and weight fluctuations. If these changes cause discomfort and problems with intimacy, labia majora rejuvenation can restore your optimal feminine function and form.
The labia majora change in appearance with age, pregnancy and weight fluctuations. Your treatment options will depend on the anatomy and aesthetics of your labia.
For some women, these changes are due to volume loss, which is easily treated with dermal fillers and fat injections. In others, the labia look different due to excess skin. When this occurs, a surgery called labia majoraplasty can be performed to excise unwanted tissue and restore a proportionate and symmetrical intimate appearance.
If you've lost vaginal volume, Stamford plastic surgeon, Dr. Reinblatt, can transfer fat to the area to restore fullness. To begin this procedure, she will first perform liposuction on your abdomen, flanks or thighs to harvest fat. She will then clean and re-inject the fat into your labia majora to infuse the area with youthful volume.
This non-invasive approach involves plumping the labia majora with dermal fillers, such as Juvederm.
The procedure can be performed in the comfort of Dr. Reinblatt's office. To begin, she will numb the area with cream, before injecting Juvederm directly into the sagging tissue to create a full and youthful appearance.
Some minor swelling and soreness can be expected, but it should subside fairly quickly. The results are temporary, so you will need to return to the office every six to eight months for repeat injections.
Dr. Reinblatt may recommend labia majoraplasty if your issue is excess, sagging skin and an asymmetrical appearance. In all of these cases, surgically removing the extra tissue is more effective than attempting to plump the area with fat or fillers.
This one-hour procedure will be done under general anesthesia or sedation. To begin, Dr. Reinblatt will remove a crescent-shaped portion of tissue from your labia majora and close the incision with absorbable sutures.
There is a substantial recovery period associated with this surgery. You will need to take a week off work and avoid sex and tampons for four to six weeks. Swelling is to be expected and may last up to six months. In the meantime, you can reduce these effects by applying ice to the area.
