Labiaplasty can also be done to remove excess tissue above the clitoris (clitoral hood reduction). Tal T. Roudner, M.D., F.A.C.S., is an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and a Miami Labiaplasty specialist, who performs labiaplasty surgery for women looking to reduce the size of their labia to improve both functionality and appearance.

Am I A Candidate?

The Procedure
If you decide that labiaplasty vaginal surgery is the right choice for you, we will schedule your surgery and discuss important self-care steps that need to be taken before and after your labiaplasty. Most cosmetic procedures are performed as outpatient surgeries right here in our Miami surgical suite, but in some cases, it may be necessary to perform your vaginal surgery at one of Miami’s excellent hospitals. This decision will be made at your consultation.
Labiaplasty can be performed under general anesthesia, but at our practice, it is typically performed with conscious sedation with local anesthesia1. The precise steps and length of surgery will vary depending on the specific concerns being addressed. In general, the two most common techniques are trim labiaplasty and wedge labiaplasty. Dr. Roudner will use specialized tools to carefully trim and remove excess skin and tissue from your labia, as discussed during your consultation. A fat transfer procedure may also be part of the treatment plan for patients who wish to add volume to the labia majora. Incisions will be closed with dissolvable sutures.
Recovery After Labiaplasty
Immediately after vaginal surgery, it is common to experience bruising, tenderness, and discomfort. Dr. Roudner will provide prescriptions for medication that can reduce post-operative pain and swelling. During the recovery period, it’s important to follow Dr. Roudner’s instructions to ensure an optimal outcome. In general, it’s important to avoid sexual intercourse and the use of tampons as well as any strenuous physical activities for at least six weeks following surgery. Most patients can resume light physical activity four weeks after vaginal surgery. It is critical to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments at our Miami office. If you have any post-operative questions or concerns, please contact us immediately.
