What Labiaplasty types are out there?

Three methods of Labiaplasty are available to clients who are considering this life-changing procedure. Each method is distinctive and comes with its considerations, but your Bliss Care Advisor or matched surgeon is here to help you make an informed decision.

01.

Trim Technique:

The Trim Technique is the most commonly chosen approach to Labiaplasty, where your provider carefully removes a strip of skin from the inner labia with a precise incision along the edge. This method effectively reduces the size of the labia, enhances symmetry, and minimizes visible scarring. By eliminating excess tissue, the Trim Technique offers lasting comfort and relief. 

02.

Wedge Technique:

The Wedge Technique removes a small, triangular section of tissue from the thickest part of the inner labia, helping to maintain its natural shape. This method is known for producing less visible scarring compared to other techniques, offering a more subtle result. After the tissue is carefully removed, the sides are stitched back together, resulting in a narrower labia that sits restfully within the contours of your body.

03.

De-Epithelialization Technique:

De-Epithelialization removes the tissue lining the labia, focusing on the inner layers while preserving the outer edge. This technique is designed to "shrink" the labia, maintaining their natural appearance. After removing the inner tissue, the incision is closed with sutures, offering a smooth, balanced result. While similar to the trim method, De-Epithelialization specifically targets the inner tissue.

Scarring and touch-ups

Labiplasty leads you down a path of greater comfort while creating a more pleasing labial appearance. Activities such as exercise or intercourse improve drastically after the procedure and recovery take place, since both have alleviated discomfort by removing excess tissue. Labiaplasty lets you embrace your body day and night.

Labiaplasty procedures are tailored to every client’s specific goals while also considering each detail of the anatomy. Your provider will thoroughly discuss and plan out your specific needs and wants so you can achieve an outcome that aligns with your aesthetic goals.

This personal choice positively impacts not just your physical comfort but also the interactions you have with yourself. Reducing excess labial tissue will help you improve your hygiene habits, making them easier and more effective while lowering the risk of infection. And the sexual, intimate moments that once felt hindered by discomfort are now satisfying and comfortable — specifically for you.

Labiaplasty healing risks may include wound dehiscence, hematoma formation, and flap necrosis. Other concerns are chronic pain, visible scarring, infections, under- or over-resection, and fistula formation. It’s important to allow yourself time to heal. Following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions closely will help ensure a successful recovery.

While many clients enjoy lasting results, some may experience temporary or, in rare cases, permanent changes in sensitivity in the labial area. If you’re seeking a more drastic change, it’s important to know that aggressive reductions may lead to dryness or discomfort. Your surgeon will work with you to make sure your goals are met in a way that prioritizes comfort.

Some clients may find that touch-ups are needed over time. Your surgeon will make every effort to minimize visible scarring, but it’s important to have realistic expectations. Depending on the technique used, there may be some residual scarring, though careful selection of the right approach will help reduce this. Be sure to communicate your hopes and concerns with your surgeon before your procedure.
