Labiaplasty in Sacramento
What Are the Benefits of Labiaplasty?
Increased Comfort
Before undergoing labiaplasty some women may experience pain and discomfort due to their enlarged labia minora. This can make exercise, sex, and normal daily activities difficult to perform. Labiaplasty works to provide more comfortable labia so you can enjoy everything that life has to offer.
Improved Appearance
Many women choose to undergo labiaplasty to improve the appearance of their labia minora. Natural aging and childbirth can cause unwanted changes to the labia, such as enlargement and sagging. Labiaplasty surgery removes excess tissue to provide a more pleasing, contoured appearance.
Enhanced Pleasure
Many women report enhanced sexual pleasure after labiaplasty surgery. Enlarged labia can cause pain during sex or decreased pleasure. Labiaplasty surgery can help improve sexual pleasure by removing the excess skin and fat that may bury the clitoris.

How Is the Trim Method for Labiaplasty Done?
The trim method can provide a more youthful labial appearance and an improvement in tissue color. The trim technique removes excess tissue from the outer edge of the labia minora. Targeting the edge of the labia minora removes the darker-colored portion of tissue, leaving a pink edge. Some women believe that a pink labial edge has a more youthful aesthetic.
Liposuction of the Pubic Area
In addition to large labia minora, women may have fatty deposits in the pubic region that are visible through clothing. These bulges can be present from birth or may be the result of puberty or weight gain.
Liposuction techniques can be utilized in this area to achieve a flatter, slimmer pubic region.

Schedule a ConsultationScars
Your labiaplasty incisions will be made along the edge of the labia minora, and only the pink labial edges will be left. Labiaplasty surgery does not leave any scars.
Cost
Labiaplasty cost varies depending on your specific needs and whether it is performed under local anesthetic with topical or general anesthesia. A consultation with Dr. Mabourakh can help you determine a more specific financial plan for your labiaplasty.
Pain
To ensure you are not in any pain throughout the procedure, local anesthetic with topical or general anesthesia is used. You may experience pain and soreness during your labiaplasty recovery, but prescription or over-the-counter pain medication can be taken as needed to keep you comfortable.
Recovery
Swelling and numbness of the vulva is normal following labiaplasty. A temporary loss of sensation may persist for up to two weeks. You should avoid most physical activities for at least one month following your surgery. To prevent infection, do not go swimming, stay submerged in water, or resume sexual contact until released by Dr. Mabourakh.

Am I a candidate for labiaplasty surgery in Sacramento?
