Labiaplasty in Plano, TX
Overview
Dr. Yaker and Dr. Haidenberg perform labiaplasty (labia rejuvenation) for Plano area women who have enlarged, hypertrophic, or asymmetrical labia minora. A labia deformity can be the result of excessive stretching from pregnancy, childbirth or weight loss. In most cases, the incisions made during labiaplasty surgery are virtually undetectable after complete healing. Our patients are generally extremely pleased with the beautiful and natural-looking results. While the physical results alone are important for many women, they also remark that they have a significant reduction (or elimination) of the symptoms caused by an enlarged labia, including chronic irritations, a bulging appearance, and discomfort during sexual activity.

Contact UsSurgical Technique
Before aesthetic surgeons improved the labiaplasty procedure, the approach was to amputate the excess skin and fold deformity. This approach led to numerous complications including scarring and sensory nerve damage. It is important to find a skilled labiaplasty surgeon who understands that this cosmetic surgery requires some reconstructive processes. Qualified surgeons will be able to incorporate the latest reshaping techniques so that it not only reduces the size, but also preserves most of the natural contour, color and sensitivity of the labia with minimal scarring.
How Labiaplasty is Performed
Labiaplasty can be performed a couple of different ways. One technique uses surgical tools to reshape the inner folds of the labia so they no longer protrude. Essentially, it creates a contoured “V” shape wedge that is removed in order to reduce the size. The remaining edges are sewn with absorbable sutures for a natural appearance. Another technique is one that uses a laser to trim and reshape the labia. This is known medically as “laser labial rejuvenation”. While this approach is effective, it is generally more suitable for smaller skin defects of the labia.
Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Texas Reviews
One of my Dreams Come True! - I have always been really self conscious of my labia minora, it prevented me from having intercourse and caused severe mental health issues from embarrassment, and also seemed to cause several physical health issues as well. I seemed to have a UTI literally once a month. I had been researching labiaplasty for years, since I was 14, and I am 23 now. And for the last 2 years I had my eye on Dr. Natan Yakers work. I finally one day decided it was time to do something for me. I was able to get a consult within a few days of calling, and the day of my consult was able to book a date for surgery. Dr. Yaker and the staff made me feel extremely comfortable and they were all so nice and reassuring. Surgery was smooth, the recovery was a little rough but Dr. Yaker was always helpful and did whatever he could to make it easier. For a while, I truly was a little worried because one side was more swollen than the other, but Dr. Yaker assured me that when it was all healed it would be seamless and look natural. Sure enough, after about 8 weeks, everything looked perfect. I’ve never felt more confident & I haven’t had a UTI since the surgery, which was on 7/28 & it is now 11/08. I highly recommend Dr. Yaker for anyone who was going through what I did. He and his staff are truly life changers and made a huge dream of mine come true.

During/After Surgery
Labiaplasty is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. It is considered an outpatient procedure. In surgical cases where a smaller defect exists, a local anesthesia may be used. The entire surgery typically takes 1-2 hours to complete. Following this surgery, women should rest and avoid any activities that will result in additional swelling and discomfort. Vigorous exercise, vaginal intercourse, the use of tampons and douching should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. The incisions made during surgery are minimal. In most cases, the scarring will be almost undetectable.

Labiaplasty FAQs
OBGYN or Plastic Surgeon?
Many OBGYNs are capable of performing labiaplasty. However, this procedure is considered a cosmetic surgery. There is more to the technique than just removing the deformity. Aesthetic issues, such as scarring, symmetry, pigmentation and shape, play an important role. For these reasons, a cosmetic surgeon is sometimes the better choice to correct this condition.
Impact on Intercourse?
This procedure does not impact sexual intercourse in a negative way. If anything, labiaplasty helps to restore any lost sensation because it removes excess skin and tissue blocking the vaginal opening and clitoris. A knowledgeable surgeon will avoid placing incisions near the clitoral region and will carefully work to protect and preserve the sensory nerves.
Pregnancy After Surgery?
It is recommended that women wait to have labiaplasty until after childbearing is complete. If the labia deformity cannot wait until after a pregnancy, the patient will need to understand that the surgical results may be compromised by a later pregnancy. It is important to discuss any pregnancy plans with your cosmetic surgeon so that a pre- and post-pregnancy surgical plan can be put into place.
