Labia Reduction
Labia reduction, also known as labial reduction or labiaplasty, is a surgical procedure that focuses on decreasing the size of the labia minora or labia majora. Many women seek labia reduction to address physical discomfort caused by enlarged or uneven labia, which can lead to irritation during activities such as exercise, cycling, or wearing tight clothing. In addition to relieving physical discomfort, labia reduction can enhance the overall appearance of the labia, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies. The procedure can be performed using different surgical techniques, such as the trim method, which removes tissue along the edge, or the wedge method, which removes a V-shaped section of tissue to maintain the natural contour. By carefully reducing the size of the labia, labial reduction can provide lasting relief and a more aesthetically pleasing result.

Clitoral Hood Reduction
Clitoral hood reduction is a surgical procedure that targets excess tissue surrounding the clitoris, often performed alongside labiaplasty for a more comprehensive enhancement of the genital area. This procedure involves the careful removal of excess tissue from the clitoral hood, which can help to improve both the appearance and function of the female genital area. By reducing the amount of tissue covering the clitoris, clitoral hood reduction can enhance sexual sensation and contribute to a more balanced and harmonious look. When performed in conjunction with labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction can provide a more refined and aesthetically pleasing result, addressing multiple concerns in a single surgical procedure.

A Labiaplasty procedure offers several benefits. One of the primary ones is improved vaginal aesthetics by targeting the low-hanging and darkly pigmented tissues of the inner vaginal lips. Reports have indicated increased comfort in the vaginal area when wearing certain types of clothing that were previously extremely uncomfortable due to excess pressure on the vulva, which may have resulted in rashes or abrasions. Our female patients have reported feeling more confident about their bodies post-surgery. The appearance and shape of your labia can significantly impact self-esteem and daily comfort, especially in fitted clothing. The removal of unnecessary vaginal tissues can enhance a woman’s ability to experience sexual pleasure. Women who are unsatisfied with the general appearance, size, or shape of their labia can trust labiaplasty to restore their physical comfort and sexual confidence when performed by the board-certified surgeons at Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto.

Labiaplasty results are typically long-lasting, with most patients seeing initial improvements within a few weeks. The procedure does not typically affect sexual sensation, as labiaplasty does not involve the clitoris, which is the primary source of sensation.

The ideal candidates for a labiaplasty with Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto are women who have aesthetic concerns regarding their labia. Some candidates may have misshapen labia, excessive labia tissue, or enlarged labia due to congenital factors, aging, childbirth, or weight changes. Labia reduction surgery and other reduction surgery options are available to address these concerns. Additionally, candidates need to be in good physical and psychological health. They should not be currently pregnant or have plans for pregnancy shortly. Candidates need to understand the risks associated with the procedure and have realistic expectations. Each patient must undergo this procedure for their own reasons, not for the influence of others.

On the day of your labiaplasty surgery at Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto, you can expect a supportive clinical setting with experienced staff guiding you through each step. The labiaplasty performed typically involves carefully reshaping and resizing the edges of the labia using advanced surgical techniques, such as the trim or wedge method, to improve both comfort and appearance. Our medical staff will escort you to your operating room and ensure your comfort before and during the procedure. After the surgery, most patients experience minor discomfort, bruising, and swelling in the groin area. These effects are most noticeable on the first day but will gradually subside over approximately two weeks. Some spotting is normal and should cease after a few days. An absorbent pad will be placed in your underwear for your initial recovery and can be replaced as needed.

Recovery from a labiaplasty procedure varies from person to person. In general, labiaplasty usually causes little discomfort. You should rest and avoid excessive activity. Swelling is expected but usually subsides significantly within two weeks. Heavy bleeding is considered unusual; you may spot or bleed a small amount after surgery and require sanitary pads until it subsides. Most patients resume normal daily activities by the second week and exercise by the third week. You should be able to resume sexual activity, including sexual intercourse, at six weeks, but only after being cleared by your surgeon. Always follow your surgeon’s advice and only resume activities once you are cleared to do so. If you have any concerns during your recovery, do not hesitate to contact our surgeon at Edelstein Cosmetic at your earliest convenience.
