Labiaplasty

As far back into history as anyone can go, artists have used a variety of mediums

, including paint and clay, to create a rendition of what they believe to be the idealistic version of the female form. And while artists are free to draw or sculpt, even in the twenty-first century, many women are discouraged from openly discussing the sensitive matter of changing their appearance. Many women all around the world, if asked, would change something about how they look, but often do not speak of these in public. However, with the recent popularization of plastic surgery due to a number of factors, including celebrities and reality television shows based on plastic surgeons, women are realizing all the options they have available to them. One such options is labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is also known as labial beautification, labial rejuvenation, labial reduction, and so on.

There is a bit of confusion regarding what labiaplasty actually is. While some feminist groups would like to equate it with genital mutilation, it is actually extremely far from that. It is a choice that is made by hundreds of women all over the world who are educated fully on just what labiaplasty is. It is a reconstructive cosmetic surgical procedure that is minimally invasive. It is done to reduce or correct labia size. While numerous women get a labiaplasty because of physical pain and discomfort caused by sexual intercourse, hygiene and certain clothing, other women do it to enhance the appearance of their vagina, making it more sexually and aesthetically pleasing. In this sense, it is not much different than breast augmentation or a nose job.

Labiaplasty involves reducing the elongated labia. While, as mentioned before, it is done for aesthetic purposes, it can also be done to fix the labia as a result of disease, childbirth, or injury. While it used to be this procedure was only performed on porn stars and swimsuit models, now any woman can get it. Until the late 1990s, this surgical procedure was performed by amputating a number of sections of the labia and then suturing it all together. However, this method had a number of problems, including excessive bleeding and scarring. Today, it is now a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes lasers for more precision and better recovery.

Most women who undergo labiaplasty are put under local anesthesia. While the cosmetic procedure used to warrant an overnight stay in the hospital, it is now an outpatient procedure that is done in just a few hours. While there may be some mild discomfort and swelling after the procedure, that is normal with any cosmetic surgery. These tend to reduce in up to two weeks. While there may be some risk associated with labiaplasty, studies have shown that just seven percent of women who undergo their surgical procedure need to come back into the hospital to receive additional treatment.

If a woman is considering labiaplasty, they should located a few possible plastic surgeons and make an appointment for a consultation. Women need to do their homework and find the best surgeon for the procedure.
