There are different surgical techniques to undergo Labiaplasty Surgery in Mumbai, depending upon the specific situation of the patient.

Labiaplasty is a form of vaginal rejuvenation surgery that aims to reduce the size of labia minora- the innermost tissues of the female genitalia so that it’s flushed with labia majora- the outer portion of the female genitalia. It is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed by Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi at Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital involves the removal of excess skin of the labia minora, shortening and tightening of the underlying tissues to create symmetry between the two sides, and eventually improving the appearance of the external genitalia.

Labiaplasty Procedure

There are different surgical techniques to undergo Labiaplasty Surgery in Mumbai, depending upon the specific situation of the patient. Some of them are:

 

  • Trim procedure- It is a traditional, most natural technique which is most widely used by the surgeon. In this, the excess portion of the labia minora is cut out and stitched so that it is symmetrical with the labia majora.
  • Wedge procedure- This technique involves the cutting out of a partial thickness wedge from the thickest area of the labia minora to leave out only the submucosa- a tissue layer beneath the mucous membrane. It provides the vagina with a natural look, preserving its wrinkled edges, following the surgery.    

When is Labiaplasty Done?

Labiaplasty might be considered if:

  • the labia get distended or lengthened leading to pain or discomfort like constant chafing and irritation while sitting, exercising, or performing other usual activities
  • the appearance of labia is making one feel self-conscious
  • the labia’s appearance is making one feel ashamed that she starts to avoid sexual intimacy
  • one is suffering from damage caused to labia as a result of childbirth or an accident.

Why do Women Get Labioplasty Done?

Labiaplasty has aesthetic and functional benefits, which is why labiaplasty is sought-after by most women. Here are the top reasons behind women seeking labioplasty:

  • Aesthetic Concerns- One cosmetic issue that labioplasty can resolve is the appearance of too long vaginal lips/labia majora which extends far outwards from the vaginal entry. In such cases, labioplasty involves the shortening of labia minora tissue.

Another is asymmetrical labia minora tissues, where one side appears longer than another. Labiaplasty can make this symmetrical by excising the excess tissues.

  • Painful Sexual Intercourse- When the labia minora tissue is very long to be easily pulled or tugged during intimacy, it leads to pain or discomfort at the time of vaginal sex. To resolve this pain, a labioplasty is performed which resects and shortens excess labia minora tissue.
  • Discomfort From Underwear or Tight Clothing- This can be felt by women due to extra-long labia minora tissue that gets rubbed onto the clothing fabric and cause friction. A labioplasty can get rid of the excess labia minora tissue that comes in contact with underwear or tight clothing.
  • Labial Tears Post-Childbirth- Vaginal births lead to changes to the labial tissues like labial tears which can be both unsightly and uncomfortable, leading to pain during certain activities and feelings of self-consciousness. With labioplasty, the scarred and damaged labia tissue can be removed, hence alleviating discomfort and creating an aesthetically appealing appearance.
  • Pain and Discomfort in Performing Certain Physical Activities- Too long labia minora tissues can cause discomfort while doing any physical activity like bicycle riding. Cardio exercises could cause friction in this area and result in pain and chafing. A labioplasty can resolve this by the removal of excess labia minora tissue.
  • Feeling Self-Conscious- Most women desire their vaginas to look best when they are getting intimate, but some women have aesthetic issues that make them feel self-conscious. A labioplasty can help bring back the confidence that woman used to have in her body.
  • The Abnormal Vaginal Appearance Caused by Changes from Aging or Childbirth- Many women opt for labioplasty to reverse the natural anatomy changes that they have experienced with their vagina over time because of factors like childbirth and aging. As a woman gets older, her labia minora tissues can increase lax, loosen, soft, and become wide open leading to the appearance of a heavier-feeling intimate area that sags downwards. After childbirth, women experience hanging down of their labia minora tissues which gives them a longer appearance. Such changes can lead to medical issues like excessive vaginal discharge, urinary incontinence, or vaginal dryness. Thankfully, a labiaplasty surgery performed in Mumbai by Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi can potentially resolve some of these symptoms, address aesthetic concerns, and restore the original state of the labia minora tissue.
