Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery and especially labiaplasty (surgery of the labia minora and/or the labia majora) has become increasingly common in women. Statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons confirm a more than 600% increase in less than a decade, rising from 2142 cases in 2011 to 12,903 in 2019.

With the popularity of genital depilation, Internet access to genital visualisation and media attention to the problem, there has been a new definition of what is considered normal appearance of genitalia. This has raised concerns amongst women and has been matched by an increase in information about the surgical methods and the increasing numbers of Plastic Surgeons trained in these procedures, making the surgery available widely.

Labioplasty

Surgery to reduce or reshape the labia minora and/or the labia majora is done to ease problems in function or appearance of these structures.

Discomfort and embarrassment

Discomfort and embarrassment with the size and shape of the labia can be noted during exercise, intercourse, sporting activities such as yoga, Pilates, cycling and horse riding swimwear and tight-fitting clothes (Leisure clothing)

Aesthetic reasons

To look better in the above activities and clothes due to the labia being large, long, misshapen or asymmetrical.

Surgery of the labia minora

Most surgery is usually to reduce the size of the labia minora or to correct asymmetry. While there are various techniques for the surgery, the wedge reduction procedure usually gives an excellent outcome.

Surgery of the labia majora

Depending on the problem, this may involve reduction of an excessively large labia majora or volume augmentation, usually with fat grafting, to improve the appearance of a thinned-out labia majora.

The outcome

A good outcome provides a great boost of self-confidence in a patient who has a genuine problem.

Women choose to have genital surgery for a range of reasons. They may be unhappy with the appearance of their genitals, feel uncomfortable in certain clothing or be experiencing difficulties during sexual intercourse. Surgery involves reshaping parts of the genitals to boost confidence and improve comfort.

consultation

Consultation

The first step when you are considering any sort of genital surgery is a consultation with Dr Arianayagam. You should frankly discuss your goals and expectations at this consultation.

Dr Arianayagam will ask you a variety of questions about your current health situation, medications, allergies and any past medical treatments. He will examine your genital area carefully, before discussing the options available and his recommendations.

Ideally, a second consultation is had a week or two later to give you the opportunity to come back with more questions and to confirm your decision.

procedure

Procedure

Every genital surgery is unique and Dr. Arianayagam will discuss the procedure in detail at your consultation.

Most genital surgery will be done under general anaesthesia as a day case at the Coffs Harbour Day Surgery.

There will be some swelling and discomfort and you will be treated with analgesics. Recovery is usually quick. Bruising may be present for 7-10 days, and you will be asked to avoid close fitting inner garments and intercourse for 3 weeks.

Dr Arianayagam will provide a detailed recovery regimen, which will be reviewed with you before surgery.

recovery

Complications

As with all surgical procedures, there will always be risks such as post-operative bleeding, allergic reactions, infection, deep vein thrombosis and haemotoma.

A non-invasive laser treatment to prevent and treat the vaginal symptoms caused by estrogen decrease after menopause, childbirth, cancer treatments or eating disorders.

help

How can it help?

Many women experience vaginal discomforts, including dryness, burning and urinary incontinence as their estrogen levels decrease following menopause. Not only can this contribute to increased bladder and urinary tract infections, it can also result in painful sexual intercourse, affecting your relationship with your partner.

In the past relief of these symptoms has been limited to creams and medications. However the recent development of the Mona Lisa fractional CO2 laser now enables the “regeneration” of the vaginal mucosa. The non-invasive laser treatment thickens and strengthens the mucosa to improve lubrication of the vagina, relieve dryness and irritation and enable painless intercourse

consultation

Consultation

The first step when you are considering vaginal rejuvenation is a consultation with Dr. Arianayagam. You should frankly discuss your goals and expectations at this meeting, and be prepared to answer a variety of questions about your current health, medications, allergies and any past medical treatments.

At the initial consultation Dr. Arianayagam will provide a treatment plan recommendation. You are encouraged to ask questions as it is important that you understand the procedure and set the right expectations

procedure

Procedure

A specialised, fractional laser designed specifically for vaginal treatments, known as the Mona Lisa Touch, stimulates the body’s own regenerative processes to create more hydrated cells and improve the strength and thickness of the vaginal mucosa. Basically the treatment improves the function and health of the vagina.

The procedure itself lasts only 20-30 minutes. Usually no anaesthetic is required and the patient experiences only a sensation of light vibration.

The number of treatments will depend upon the symptoms. Usually 3 treatments at 2 monthly intervals is recommended, followed by annual maintenance treatments.

The results are immediate and improve over subsequent months.

recovery

Recovery

Most women experience slight localized discomfort following laser treatment and for a few days following. Some patients have a slight discharge for up to 2 weeks following the procedure.

During the healing period it is recommended that patients avoid lifting heavy weights, physical exertion and hot baths. These activities can normally resume after 3-4 days. Patients should abstain from sexual activity for 2 weeks following each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Mona Lisa laser treatment works in over 90% of cases with little to no side effects.
