Common Reasons to Consider Labiaplasty Surgery
Aesthetic enhancement surgery has come quite a long way in recent years. What was once considered to be something that was almost exclusively for the rich and even the famous in our society, has become far more commonplace amongst your average man or woman down the street. However, due to the amazing advancements that have come with technology, and aesthetic enhancement surgery techniques, it’s not only more affordable than ever but it’s also much safer than ever. And with internet forums and social media pages dedicated completely to furthering the discussion on aesthetic surgery, it’s no surprise that consumers are more educated on things than they’ve ever been. But some procedures simply aren’t as easy to speak about as others. A procedure like a labiaplasty, what some would consider being a less invasive form of aesthetic enhancement, has become more popular than ever before. yet, women aren’t nearly as forthcoming about having it done as they would be about almost any other procedure. And as a result, despite its popularity, according to experts like Dr. Richard Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist Brooklyn has to offer, often state that many female patients have yet to even hear of this procedure and all that it can be useful for – a rarity in today’s aesthetic world. The fact is that the labiaplasty allows women to alter the size, shape, and overall appearance of their labia, along their most intimate of areas, offering several benefits – not just cosmetic. In this article, we will be going over this procedure a bit more in detail, and better explaining a few of the most common reasons why someone should consider a labiaplasty.
What is a Labiaplasty?
As we mentioned above, labiaplasty surgery is a form of aesthetic enhancement surgery that allows women to change the size, shape, symmetry, and overall appearance of their labia. According to Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist Garden City has to offer, the majority of labiaplasty patients are those who are looking to alter the shape or size of their labia for cosmetic purposes. The fact is that a lot of women who may not be happy with the size or shape of their labia might have confidence or self-esteem issues when it comes to intimacy with their partners. The labia are the folds of skin around the vaginal opening area. Women will generally have two different folds of skin in that area, the outer folds are known as the labia major while the inner is known as the labia minora. According to Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist Garden City has to offer, the labia majora are the larger fleshy folds that protect your external genital organs and are covered with pubic hair after puberty. During the labiaplasty procedure, depending on the reason why you would have it done, your surgeon will remove tissue from the labia to reduce the size and alter the shape. In many instances, where patients may want to enhance the size of the labia in a specific area, they might use some form of filler material to enlarge it. In some instances as well if there is a full reconstruction needed, the surgeon will have to perform a reconstructive procedure on the labia.
Why Should You Consider a Labiaplasty?
There are many reasons why patients might have a labiaplasty procedure done. Some of the most common reasons are listed below.
Medical Reasons
One of the most common reasons why women would consider having a labiaplasty procedure done is to reduce the size of their labia minor, therefore preventing it from protruding out far beyond the edges of the labia majora. This can be very painful for women and cause issues in everyday life or during times of intimacy with their partners. In addition, it can make it quite difficult to exercise or perform any physical activities. According to Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist Brighton Beach has in practice, another common medical reason is hygienic as it can often make cleaning the area far more difficult than it would be otherwise. In addition, it can cause the area to harbor much more bacteria than it would otherwise and lead to infections and other issues.
Cosmetic Reasons
According to Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist Brooklyn has in practice, cosmetic issues aren’t always as cut and dry as you might think. While women will want to restore a more youthful look after childbirth or as they have aged, sometimes they might have these issues with the look of their intimate areas since birth and may feel as though they need to do something about this area. Often, when patients have issues of asymmetry along their labia, they will want to have a labiaplasty done to better improve the appearance of that area. Also, some women will complain that they will experience protruding labia that will become visible outside their clothing often known as a camel-toe.
Mental and Sexual Dysfunction
Sometimes the issues, whether they are medical or cosmetic can lead to issues with confidence and this can lead to sexual dysfunction as well. In addition, some patients will complain that due to the increased size of their labia, they will experience terrible discomfort during sex. According to Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist Brighton Beach has to offer, this is one of the most common non-cosmetic reasons women will want to have labiaplasty surgery done.
