Labiaplasty in Miami

Labiaplasty is becoming a more popular procedure for mainstream American women of all ages. While it is a relatively simple procedure, there are several important considerations. Most women that are interested in labiaplasty primarily want a reduction of the folds of tissue that extend outside of the labia majora. This excess tissue is considered unattractive and often causes discomfort when wearing tight clothing and during sexual intercourse. There are many ways to perfom this procedure and it is very important that the surgeon executes a technique that is appropriate for the patient's own individual morphology to create a natural appearing beautiful result, hide all scars and protect the repair from exposure to excessive pull and friction during intercourse. It is also very common for Dr. Maercks to use fat grafting techniques in combination with such procedures. Fat grafting in the area of the labia majora and surrounding tissue results in a beautiful youthful feminine form and adds comfort and a pleasant enhancement to sexual intercourse. It is also possible to use such techniques to enhance the 'g-spot area' inside the anterior vagina which enhances sexual satisfaction in most patients and their partners. To learn more, call and schedule a confidential and complimentary consultation with Dr. Maercks who will review in detail all of your options.

Labiaplasty is performed for women who want to improve the appearance and/or hygiene of their labia. Patients undergo this cosmetic procedure for benefits such as:

Improved labial hygiene
Improved symmetry
Improved self-confidence

A labiaplasty in Miami is performed in an effort to reduce labia minora that is affected by enlargement or asymmetry. Aside from improving symmetry, the additional goals of a labiaplasty are to improve hygiene and self-confidence. Labiaplasty, which may also be referred to as labia reduction, labia rejuvenation or vaginal lip reduction, does not affect sensation.

Labiaplasty is ideally performed on patients who have difficulty with hygiene, clothing or intercourse due to asymmetry of the labia. Asymmetry of the labia can often be caused by pregnancy, intercourse, genetics or piercing, though other factors may play a role.

The Surgical Process

Dr. Maercks uses a unique technique to acoid the pitfalls commonly encountered with techniques such as the central wedge or edge trim. He uses a process called de-epithelialization to retain a healthy and plump look while transposing young and beautiful pink tissue to the labia minora. In this way he not only rejuvenates form but also color and texture

Labiaplasty is performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately one and half hours to complete. When the surgery is performed, the doctor may apply either a local anesthetic and sedation or a general anesthetic. When labiaplasty is performed on either one or both sides of the labia, excess tissue is reduced and the natural shape of the labia is maintained. The area is then sutured to provide aesthetic improvement.

Life After Labiaplasty in Miami

After a labiaplasty, the patient is sent home with specific instructions. The patient must abstain from sex and exercise for about four weeks. Any swelling or discomfort the patient experiences should subside in about two weeks. However, an oral pain medication may be prescribed to control discomfort. The sutures used in the surgery are dissolvable and the patient should expect to see the final result of the labiaplasty in three to six months.

Some complications and side effects may arise with labiaplasty surgery. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, prolonged swelling, and asymmetry, and need for revision surgery. If you are concerned about these risks, ask Dr. Maercks for more information during your consultation in Miami Beach.
