Rediscover Confidence with a Vulvaplasty
If you are dissatisfied with the shape or appearance of your vagina, vulvaplasty offers a solution. Factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, cancer, and injury can alter the appearance of the vagina over time. By opting for vulvaplasty, you can regain control and transform the outer tissue, achieving a sleeker and more refined contour.
What Happens During a Vulvaplasty Procedure?
A vulvaplasty, also known as majoraplasty, is a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Diaz to enhance the outer appearance of your vagina, specifically the labia majora. Whether done in an operating room or an office-based surgical suite, local anesthesia or intravenous sedation is commonly used. In some cases, general anesthesia may be preferred.
During the procedure, Dr. Diaz meticulously measures and compares the excessive areas for symmetry. With a labia majora reduction or augmentation, she skillfully removes excess skin and tissue from the outer lips of the vulva, concealing the incisions on the inner edge of the labia. The tissue is then closed using multiple layers of dissolvable stitches.
Rest assured that this surgical technique may vary depending on you and Dr. Diaz’s decision. We aim to provide you with a general idea of what to expect during vulvaplasty surgery.
