WHY WOULD SOMEONE GET A LABIAPLASTY?
Women facing labial enlargement, where the labia minora extends significantly beyond the outer labia majora might be interested in this surgical intervention. A labiaplasty surgery aims to correct this disproportion by shortening the labia minora. Factors such as childbirth, aging, weight changes, trauma, or natural anatomical variations can contribute to this concern.
Symptoms of enlarged labia include:
- discomfort during activities like exercise, biking, or sitting,
- self-consciousness due to visibility through clothing
- discomfort during sexual intercourse
Many women are embarrassed about addressing this area. As one of Denver’s most trusted female plastic surgeons who specializes in procedures for women, Dr. Aycock understands the especially sensitive nature and listens carefully to help you achieve your desired results.
BENEFITS OF A LABIAPLASTY

Enhance your overall quality of life. Labiaplasty can offer relief from discomfort during physical activity, irritation from clothing, and pain during intercourse. This allows you to fully enjoy the Colorado lifestyle – hiking, biking, yoga, and all the adventures.
Boost Your Self Esteem
Improve your body image. Labiaplasty can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin. Embrace a newfound sense of self-acceptance and wear the clothing you’ve always wanted to.
Better Intimate Experiences
Experience increased sexual pleasure by reducing labial friction that can be painful and awkward. A labiaplasty can help with both enjoyment and sexual confidence by creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
HOW IS A LABIAPLASTY PERFORMED?
During a labiaplasty procedure Dr. Aycock begins by carefully marking the areas of the labia minora or labia majora to be reshaped or reduced. You are typically placed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on Dr. Aycock’s recommendation and your preference. Precise incisions are then made along the marked areas, removing excess tissue and reshaping the labia to achieve the desired size and appearance. Any excess skin is trimmed away, and the incisions are carefully closed with dissolvable sutures. The entire procedure is performed with meticulous attention to detail to ensure natural-looking and harmonious results. Afterward, patients receive postoperative care instructions, including proper hygiene and avoiding strenuous activities, to support optimal healing and recovery.

Is A Labiaplasty Part Of A Mommy Makeover?
Often the labia become enlarged as a result of childbirth, so many moms include labiaplasty as a way to get back their body after having children. Labiaplasty can also repair damage caused by childbirth or other injuries. It can easily be combined with other procedures such as breast surgery or liposuction as part of a “mommy makeover.”
