No matter what your motivation is, it is important to know what options you have, just like in the case of Labioplasty.
Here are 10 easy to remember facts on labioplasty that will help you understand how such procedure can make you a better you!
- Labioplasty is also know as Labioplasty. It is a cosmetic procedure which centers on reducing the length or general size of the vagina's labia majora or minora. Labia minora is also known as the woman's "inner lips" while labia major is the "outer lips".
- In reality, women have different labia majora and minora sizes. Although this is normal, some have such long sizes that it leads to embarrassment, frustration and low self esteem. Labioplasty shrinks the size of this area so that the inner or outer lips do not protrude as much and consequently produces a more pleasing look.
- The reasons for undergoing labioplasty or any other vaginal surgery for that matter could vary from aesthetic to functional. Aesthetic concerns include excessive length, asymmetry between the two labias, and loose labia skin. On the other hand, functional concerns involve displeasure and discomfort during sex and inability to wear certain types of clothing.
- The main objective of labial reduction or labioplasty is to decrease the labia's size through the removal of excess skin. This is conducted through Iris scissors, scalpel or laser. The choice of method is up to the surgeon's preference.
- Labioplasty generally takes an hour or so to complete. Some patients need to stay overnight in the hospital while others may go home on the same day as the surgery was performed.
- After the successful labioplasty, the patient is obliged to wear loose undergarments and is also asked to put a panty liner for two weeks.
- Women who have undergone labioplasty or other vaginal procedure are immediately prohibited to engage in sexual activity for six weeks.
- The risks in this vaginal surgery are minimal and most often, it is due to an adverse reaction to anesthesia. A patient may induce bleeding, swelling, bruising, infection and scarring.
- The scarring brought about by this procedure is usually undetectable once healing has occurred.
- On the other hand, there are also side effects directly brought about by Labioplasty. For instance, a patient may feel unsatisfied with the procedure. This is most likely caused by unmet or unrealistic expectations. Other side effects include pain during urination and loss of sensation in the operated area.
In no time, you'll be hitting the beach in the sexiest bikini. All thanks to this simple vaginal procedure called labioplasty.
