A Personalized Approach to Your Comfort in Valdosta, GA

A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to resolve specific issues with the outer portion of the vagina. Many women suffer a great deal of discomfort due to enlarged labia (vaginal lips). The level of the condition can vary, but it often leads to discomfort or embarrassment.

This surgical procedure can create a more pleasing appearance to your most intimate area. If you are embarrassed by the appearance of your vaginal lips and want to alter the appearance, or you experience discomfort with activity, including sexual intercourse, this is the procedure that can do it.

How Is a Labiaplasty Performed?

This is a custom procedure, as every woman is different. The basic approach is to numb the area with an anesthetic and carefully remove the excess tissue. The new shape and size are then sutured, after which healing begins.

What a Labiaplasty Can Do for You

This custom surgery can create changes that make your life happier, including altering your appearance to a more symmetrical look with fewer extra folds of skin or to be free from overly large outer or inner labia. If you are one of the many women who are embarrassed by the appearance of your intimate area or suffer from discomfort while exercising, this procedure can resolve it. Some women have had this procedure and have been unhappy with the result, requiring revision surgery. Whatever your situation, you can trust Dr. Merriman to help you finally achieve the result you envision. As a highly-skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon, she has a meticulous approach and uses the most advanced techniques for labiaplasty surgery.

A Brighter, Happier Future

It can be remarkable how much different you will feel after a labiaplasty. You may have spent years feeling embarrassed, concerned, or uncomfortable – and you finally get relief. 

You can wear tight clothing without worry and engage in all types of physical activities without pain or discomfort. It is worth undergoing a labiaplasty as a quality-of-life treatment.

Resculpting Your Genital Area

There is no “normal” appearance, but it cannot be denied that overly large inner or outer lips can be a problem for women. 

Whether the concern is about appearance or an uncomfortable situation, you want the surgery performed correctly and with finesse. Dr. Merriman, as a highly-skilled plastic surgeon – and woman – knows how important his surgery is to you. It will be performed with great care and attention to detail so that you will be pleased with the appearance.

Recovery Time After Labiaplasty

You have decided to undergo the procedure, but you may have worries or questions about recovery. As this is a surgical procedure, it is normal to experience mild pain. You will have pain medication to help you stay comfortable through the first few days. The area will be swollen and bruised for a few weeks post-op. Icing the area helps to reduce swelling. Typically, one side is more swollen than the other, so don’t worry – that’s normal. To stay comfortable, wear loose clothing and underwear.

You don’t want to irritate the area while it is healing. You will need to abstain from sex for six weeks after the procedure so the area can fully heal. You will be able to return to work in about two to five days, depending on how you feel. The final results are achieved in about four to six months. You will likely be very happy with the results in as little as a month, and the area will continue to improve over the coming weeks.
