Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle wants to help women feel more comfortable and attractive with feminine rejuvenation surgery to improve the size and shape of the labia minora with labiaplasty in Raleigh. The labia minora (the internal ” lips” of the vaginal area) may be oversized or have loose skin created by genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, or physical trauma.
A labiaplasty is a body contouring surgery that reduces the size of the labia minora and/or majora for a more normal appearance. This could eliminate discomfort and irritation while boosting confidence and sexual pleasure. Schedule a consultation at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center to learn more about the benefits of labiaplasty and find out if you are a candidate for the surgery.
Who Are Ideal Candidates For Labiaplasty Surgery?
A labiaplasty at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center may be helpful for women in Raleigh who are worried about the appearance of their vaginal area, which may be stretched due to genetics, childbirth, or trauma. Abnormal vaginal lips may cause pain, discomfort, itching, or irritation during physical activities like exercise and sex. A labiaplasty may also help if you can’t wear revealing outfits (including leggings, bathing suits, or yoga pants) due to the size of your vaginal lips. While cosmetic surgery on the labia should not affect your ability to get pregnant or have a natural childbirth, Dr. Lyle suggests that you consider waiting until you are done having children to avoid undoing your results, although younger patients with these concerns often proceed despite their desire for future pregnancies.
What Happens During Labiaplasty Surgery?
Most procedures for the labia are performed in our on-site procedure room under local anesthesia, so you can drive yourself to and from your appointment. If the procedure is more extensive, you may require general anesthesia at an accredited facility, which will mean you need a responsible friend to pick you up after your surgery. Dr. Lyle will discuss these options and time estimates during your consultation in Raleigh so you can make any needed arrangements before your labiaplasty procedure. A labiaplasty is generally performed with a trimming technique to cut away loose tissue, and then the remaining skin is stitched back together. Techniques include the wedge procedure that cuts away a pie-shaped piece of tissue and sometimes extra folds from the clitoral hood before the tissue is sutured closed or the rim or edge technique, which removes a portion of the protruding edge of the entire labia minora along its length. Which procedure is best will be explained during your consultation.
What To Expect During Labiaplasty Recovery
Usually, labiaplasty patients in Raleigh require about a week to recover from swelling and discomfort before returning to work and normal activities. Dr. Lyle recommends you apply ice packs or cold compresses to the vaginal area as needed to decrease swelling. You cannot use tampons or engage in sexual activity for 4–6 weeks after your treatment. Patients typically have visible improvements in about six weeks, with final results closer to six months after surgery. The results of labiaplasty usually last a long time, but natural aging, significant weight fluctuations, and childbirth may alter results.

I am a 2 time cancer survivor and Dr. LYLE has been my cancer surgeon since I was 29. I got cancer at 29 then again at 43 and I am 49 now. He stopped doing breast reconstruction after I got my second cancer and he still came and did my reconstruction. He didn’t have to but he did. He has been my surgeon for 20 years now. Stephanie at the office is great too.
