Labiaplasty FAQ

When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Khan using proper techniques, labiaplasty should preserve normal sensation and sexual function. The procedure focuses on removing excess tissue while carefully preserving nerve pathways and the blood supply essential for normal function. Dr. Khan uses precise surgical techniques that maintain the natural anatomy and innervation of the area. Most patients report maintained or even improved sexual comfort after healing because previous discomfort or self-consciousness is eliminated. However, as with any surgery, there are risks, and Dr. Khan thoroughly discusses these during consultation. Temporary numbness or changes in sensitivity may occur during the healing process, but typically resolve within a few weeks to a few months. The goal is always to enhance comfort and confidence while preserving all natural functions.
Labiaplasty recovery requires patience and careful adherence to activity restrictions to ensure optimal healing and recovery. Week 1-2: Rest required, no strenuous activity, gentle walking encouraged, ice packs for comfort. Weeks 2-4: Gradual return to light activities, still avoiding exercise and lifting. Weeks 4-6: Progressive increase in activity, light exercise like walking permitted. Weeks 6-8: Full activity clearance including exercise, sports, and intimate activities. Most patients return to desk work within 1-2 weeks, but need to avoid prolonged sitting initially. Pain is typically mild to moderate and well-controlled with medication. Wearing loose, cotton underwear and avoiding tight clothing can help provide comfort during the healing process. Dr. Khan provides detailed recovery instructions, including hygiene protocols, activity guidelines, and follow-up schedule to ensure safe, optimal healing and the best possible results.
Labiaplasty scars are typically minimal and well-concealed within the natural anatomy of the area. Dr. Khan employs precise surgical techniques and fine sutures to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing. The trim technique creates a scar along the natural edge that blends seamlessly, while the wedge technique results in a small scar that's hidden within natural folds. Initially, incision lines may appear slightly pink or raised but fade significantly over 3-6 months to barely visible lines. The intimate location means scars are naturally concealed and not visible to others. Most patients are amazed at how well labiaplasty scars heal and how natural their results appear. Proper wound care, avoiding irritation, and following post-operative instructions help ensure optimal scar healing and minimal long-term visibility.
Labia minora surgery addresses the inner lips that may protrude beyond the outer lips, causing discomfort or aesthetic concerns, while labia majora surgery treats the outer lips that may be enlarged, sagging, or asymmetrical. Labia minora reduction is more common and involves removing excess tissue from the inner lips using trim or wedge techniques. This addresses functional issues, such as discomfort during activities, and aesthetic concerns about protrusion. Labia majora surgery addresses the outer lips that may be enlarged due to aging, weight changes, or genetics, involving skin and fat removal or tightening. Some patients benefit from combined procedures addressing both areas for comprehensive improvement. Dr. Khan evaluates your specific anatomy and concerns to recommend whether you need surgery on one or both areas for optimal comfort and aesthetic results.
Labiaplasty surgery in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the surgical technique required, complexity of the procedure, facility fees, and whether both labia minora and majora are treated. Labia minora surgery alone generally costs $6,000-$8,000, while combined procedures or more complex cases range $8,000-$10,000. Factors affecting price include the specific technique used (trim vs. wedge), the extent of correction required, the surgical time needed, and the type of anesthesia.

Labiaplasty can be both medically necessary and cosmetic, depending on your specific symptoms and concerns. When performed to address functional issues like chronic irritation, pain during activities, difficulty with hygiene, or interference with exercise and intimacy, the procedure may have medical components. However, most insurance plans consider labiaplasty cosmetic and don't provide coverage. Dr. Khan evaluates each patient individually to determine if functional issues warrant medical documentation. Even when primarily cosmetic, the procedure can significantly improve quality of life, comfort, and confidence. The decision should be based on your personal concerns and how they affect your daily life rather than external opinions. During consultation, Dr. Khan helps you understand whether your concerns are primarily functional, aesthetic, or both, and discusses realistic expectations for improvement in your specific situation.
