ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
The cost of labiaplasty can vary depending on your individual needs and the details of your personalized treatment plan. During your private consultation, Dr. Judge will walk you through all options and provide transparent pricing tailored to your goals.
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and/or labia majora (outer vaginal lips). The goal is to create a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing appearance based on your personal needs and goals.
No. While many women choose labiaplasty for aesthetic reasons, many others seek this procedure to address physical discomfort during daily activities, exercise, or intimate relations. Functional benefits include reduced irritation, chafing, and pain.
Good candidates include women who experience physical discomfort due to enlarged labia, feel self-conscious about the appearance of their labia, or have asymmetry they wish to correct. During your consultation, Dr. Judge will evaluate your specific situation and discuss whether labiaplasty is right for you.
Dr. Judge uses precise surgical techniques to carefully remove excess tissue and reshape the labia to achieve a natural-looking result. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and medical considerations.
Insurance coverage varies. When the procedure is performed to address functional issues causing physical discomfort, some insurance plans may provide partial coverage. Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Our staff can help you understand your coverage options during your consultation.
Before Your Procedure
Preparation includes avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements for two weeks before surgery, arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure, and preparing your recovery space with comfortable pillows, ice packs, loose-fitting clothing, and prescribed medications.
Most patients take 3-7 days off work, depending on the physical demands of their job. Those with physically demanding occupations may require up to two weeks off. Dr. Judge will provide specific recommendations based on your individual situation and recovery progress.
Yes. Labiaplasty does not affect your ability to have children in the future. However, pregnancy and childbirth can potentially alter the appearance of the labia. Some women may choose to postpone the procedure until after completing their families, while others prefer to address their concerns sooner.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort for the first few days after surgery. This can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication, gradually transitioning to over-the-counter options as healing progresses.
Most patients can return to desk jobs or light activities within 3-5 days. More strenuous activities should be avoided for 2-3 weeks. Complete healing typically takes 6-8 weeks, after which all normal activities, including sexual intercourse, can usually be resumed. Dr. Judge will provide personalized recovery guidelines.
Dr. Judge uses meticulous surgical techniques to minimize scarring. While some minor scarring is inevitable, it is typically well-concealed within the natural folds of the labia and tends to fade significantly over time. Most patients report that any scarring is barely noticeable once fully healed.
Dr. Judge's approach prioritizes the preservation of sensation and function. The procedure is designed to remove only excess tissue while carefully preserving nerve endings. Most women report either no change or enhanced sensation after recovery due to reduced discomfort and improved confidence.
Yes, the results of labiaplasty are generally permanent. However, significant weight fluctuations, aging, and childbirth may affect the appearance of the area over time. Following Dr. Judge's post-operative care instructions helps ensure optimal long-term results.
