Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces or reshapes the labia minora, the inner lips of the vulva, to improve both comfort and appearance. For some women, enlarged or asymmetrical labia may cause pain during exercise or intimacy, leading to difficulty with certain clothing. Others simply feel out of alignment with how they want to experience their body. Whether the concern stems from childbirth, aging, or natural development, labiaplasty can provide long-lasting relief with results that feel subtle and natural.
Labiaplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with oral sedation, though general anesthesia is available if needed for comfort. Dr. Spann uses meticulous technique to remove small amounts of tissue and shape the labia minora to reduce excess length or asymmetry. The goal is always a smooth, natural contour that respects your anatomy and maintains normal function.
Most procedures take about an hour. You’ll return home the same day with personalized aftercare instructions and a plan to support gentle healing.
Labiaplasty is often performed to address physical discomfort such as irritation, rubbing, or pulling during exercise, biking, or intercourse. Others seek the procedure for aesthetic reasons, including asymmetry or changes in the labia following pregnancy, delivery, or hormonal shifts. Whatever your reasons for seeking labiaplasty, Dr. Spann can help you understand your options and the results that can be achieved.
Patients often describe feeling more at ease in workout clothes, swimsuits, and intimate situations. The physical relief, including less chafing, irritation, or pulling, is often matched by a quiet but meaningful boost in self-confidence. Best of all, results are long-lasting and typically leave minimal visible scarring, especially when performed with careful suturing and appropriate aftercare. If you're looking for a subtle change that can have a big impact on your daily comfort, labiaplasty may be worth exploring.
You may be a good candidate for labiaplasty if you experience discomfort from enlarged or uneven labial tissue, or if you'd prefer a more streamlined appearance. Ideal candidates are non-smokers, in good general health, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. It’s also important to be finished with childbearing or understand that future vaginal deliveries could impact your results. During your consultation, Dr. Spann will review your medical history, goals, and anatomy with care and professionalism.
Most women are surprised by how manageable the recovery period is after labiaplasty. You can typically return to light activities within 3–5 days, with full healing expected over the next 4–6 weeks. Mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity are common initially, but pain is usually minimal and easily managed with anti-inflammatory medications. You'll need to avoid tampon use and intercourse for about six weeks to allow tissues to heal fully. Our team provides clear instructions and ongoing support throughout your recovery.
As swelling fades and the incisions heal, you'll notice a more streamlined, proportionate appearance. Final results typically take shape over a few months and can significantly improve both comfort and confidence. Whether you're dressing for the gym, a vacation, or just going about your day, labiaplasty can help you feel more free in your body.
Dr. Spann brings 20 years of surgical experience to every labiaplasty, along with the discretion, technical skill, and compassion this procedure deserves. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, he focuses on achieving natural-looking results with minimal downtime and an emphasis on patient trust. In our boutique aesthetic practice, you'll never feel rushed or judged, just heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.
Scarring is usually minimal and well-hidden within the natural folds of the tissue. Dr. Spann uses delicate sutures and techniques designed to help the area heal with the most natural result possible.
Not at all. While it can enhance appearance, many patients seek labiaplasty for functional reasons, like reducing irritation during daily movement, cycling, or intimacy.
Labiaplasty focuses on the labia minora, not the clitoris or other highly sensitive structures. When performed carefully, it should not negatively affect sexual sensation and, for some women, may actually improve comfort during intercourse.
Many patients choose to schedule surgery when they can take a few days off from work or parenting responsibilities. Some prefer colder seasons to allow for looser clothing during recovery. We’ll help you plan around your lifestyle.
We understand this is a sensitive topic, and it’s completely normal to feel shy. Our consultations are completely private and judgment-free. You’ll find that Dr. Spann approaches these conversations with respect, kindness, and discretion.
The cost of your labiaplasty will vary based on the extent of the surgery and any additional procedures you choose to include. During your initial consultation, we will provide a comprehensive quote and discuss our financing options. Little Rock Plastic Surgery offers flexible payment solutions through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit.
