Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle wants to help women feel more comfortable and attractive with vaginal rejuvenation surgery to improve the size and shape of the labia. The labia minora (the internal " lips" of the vaginal area) may be oversized or have loose skin created by genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, or a physical trauma. A labiaplasty is a 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 & Aesthetics Center in Raleigh, NC to learn more about the benefits of labiaplasty and find out if you are a candidate for the surgery.
Ideal Candidates
A labiaplasty at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center may be helpful for women 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.
Surgical Technique
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 so you can make any needed arrangements before your procedure. A labiaplasty is generally performed with a trimming technique to cut away loose tissue, and then the remaining skin is stitched back together. Another technique is the wedge procedure that cuts away a pie-shaped piece of tissue and extra folds from the clitoral hood before the tissue is sutured closed.
What to Expect
Usually patients 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.
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center Reviews
I have, literally, always been self-conscious about the shape of my breasts. Over the years, this got so bad that I started avoiding mirrors when changing, and I truly believed there was nothing that could be done. But, this past August I worked up the courage to speak with a plastic surgeon. After reading his other reviews and looking at his gallery online, I decided to speak with Dr. Lyle in person. It was the best decision I ever made for my self-esteem. Every single person I've had the pleasure of meeting at his office has been an absolute joy. From the cheerful reception staff, to the nurses, to the scheduling team, I was completely at ease and knew I was in good hands. My surgery turned out even better than I'd hoped, and I cannot adequately describe how much this changed my life. If you are thinking about having a breast lift, please give the team a call. And thank you to everyone at the office who gave me back a part of myself I thought I'd lost.
My case was a little different. Had previous implants that were placed under the muscle as most are. Due to the healing of my body and the fact that I didn’t want a lift, I was left looking disfigured. Saw Dr. Lyle and was scheduled fairly quickly. I was super nervous as the old implants had to be removed and a new put in. This experience was far superior to three years ago mainly due to the exceptional staff. But major kudos to Dr. Lyle for making my new breast look natural and absolutely perfect (my husband is over the moon!). This surgery was not only something that was aesthetic for me. Being newly married, there was a lot of emotional/mental components to it as well. Couldn’t be happier. And Brittany, his nurse, is far superior to the nurses I had before. To top it off, at my post op visit, Stephanie did some Juvaderm in my lips and they look fabulously natural. Highly recommend ALL of the providers!
I am very grateful to Dr Lyle and his staff for amazing results and I highly recommend this practice.
Haley is an incredible provider! She is diligent, detail-oriented, and punctual. She takes the time to get to know her patients and provide them with amazing results. She did my botox before my wedding and made sure it was perfect. I drive 1.5 hours to see her because she's so wonderful. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Dr. Lyle and his staff are the best! Dr. Lyle performed a breast revision that was needed for my breast reconstruction, due to a double mastectomy. After 4 years of breast surgeries, I'm finally able look in the mirror and feel normal! I can't thank Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center enough!
