About Labiaplasty in Baltimore, MD
A woman will get labiaplasty to cosmetically alter the look of her vagina by reducing excess skin (prepuce) of the labia minora. The procedure can make the vagina look “fresher” or “younger.” Removing the excess skin can also allow for more access to the clitoris increasing pleasure. The average labiaplasty costs roughly $2,730, and it is usually not covered by insurance. In general, the procedure uses lasers, only takes about 90 minutes, and allows the patient to go home immediately after it’s completed.
vConfidence certified doctors offer two options for your labiaplasty: non-surgical and surgical. The non-surgical option uses lasers to tighten the labia majora and labia minora. This method can be done using the Femilift™, FemTouch™, Intima fractional CO2 laser, or the Viveve® RF device. Many opt for this option because it costs less and requires less recovery time. A surgical labiaplasty allows for more customization of the appearance of your vagina. This option is ideal if there are specific concerns that you want addressed.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Since this is a surgery, there is some recovery time necessary. Patients can go about their daily activities as usual after about a week, but they should not expect to do much during that time. The patient should ice regularly to reduce the swelling. It is generally recommended to ice for twenty minutes and rest for twenty minutes continuously. After icing and resting for a week, the patient can expect a full recovery and reduction of swelling after six weeks.
The non-surgical option requires no recovery time and it allows you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
