About the Procedure
Labiaplasty Surgery in Irvine, CA
At WEI Aesthetic Institute, a women's health clinic with a doctor on-site in Irvine, Dr. Judy Wei performs expert labiaplasty to restore comfort, function, and confidence. This precise labiaplasty surgery, also known as labia reduction surgery, addresses both aesthetic and physical concerns.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a precise surgical procedure to reduce and reshape the labia minora and/or labia majora. Many women choose this procedure to improve the appearance of large, uneven, or asymmetrical labia and to relieve chafing, irritation, and discomfort during exercise and intimacy.
Conditions We Treat
Enlarged or uneven labia minora or majora
Labial chafing, irritation, and discomfort during activity
Labial trauma or tearing from childbirth
Visible bulging in tight clothing or swimwear
Self-consciousness about intimate appearance
Who is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?
Ideal candidates are women experiencing discomfort or irritation from enlarged labia or those with labial tears from childbirth. Candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the surgery's outcomes. Dr. Wei provides a thorough evaluation to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Who is NOT a Candidate?
Women with certain medical conditions or unrealistic expectations may not be suitable candidates. A detailed consultation with Dr. Wei will determine the best approach for your individual situation.
How is Labiaplasty Surgery Performed?
Labiaplasty surgery is performed either in-office or at a surgical center under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Dr. Wei, a board-certified OB/GYN and gynecological surgeon with advanced vulvovaginal surgical training, uses refined surgical techniques and the Ellman Surgitron device, which minimizes tissue damage compared to traditional lasers.
The procedure usually takes about 60 minutes. Labia majora reduction involves excising a crescent-shaped portion of the inner labia majora, with scars discreetly hidden in natural folds. Labia minoraplasty removes excess or uneven inner labial tissue to alleviate discomfort and improve appearance.
Types of Labiaplasty
Labia Minora Plasty: Removes excess, floppy, or uneven inner labia tissue that causes irritation during sex and daily activities. Often enlarges due to puberty, pregnancy, or aging.
Labia Majora Plasty: Reduces enlarged, sagging outer labia that can cause sweating, discomfort, and visible bulging. Often results from childbirth, aging, or major weight loss.
Recovery & Results
Patients can walk and drive immediately. Avoid heavy lifting, exercise, swimming, tampons, and intimacy for 6 weeks. Most resume normal activities within 8 weeks. Mild soreness is expected the first week. Full results are visible at 6 months once swelling resolves.
Note: Vaginal tightening surgery like vaginoplasty is different. It tightens the vaginal canal itself. Labiaplasty focuses on the outer labia. Many patients combine both procedures.
How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?
At our practice, labiaplasty starts at $7,700. Your final vaginal rejuvenation surgery cost depends on complexity and if it's combined with perineoplasty, vaginoplasty, clitoral hood reduction, or mons lift, which may offer package discounts. A precise quote is provided after consultation.
