One of the most frequently asked questions by patients is who performs labiaplasty surgery. Many people search for the “best doctor” for labiaplasty. It is important to emphasize that labiaplasty is a specific surgical procedure that must be performed by qualified and experienced hands.
Since cosmetic gynecology or genital aesthetic surgery is not included as a standard part of medical specialty training, it is crucial to reach physicians who have specific experience in this field. When performed by unqualified practitioners, problems related to shape and sexual sensation may occur.
Labiaplasty is performed by gynecologists and plastic surgeons who have experience in genital aesthetic procedures. Plastic surgeons’ broad knowledge of aesthetic surgery and gynecologists’ deep understanding of genital anatomy are both important advantages.
A physician performing labiaplasty should:
Otherwise, poor aesthetic and functional outcomes, as well as serious legal issues, may arise.
When performed by qualified and experienced surgeons, the risks of labiaplasty are very low. As with any surgery, potential complications include bleeding, wound separation, infection, and changes in sensation. The patient’s expectations before surgery are also important. Some patients prefer the inner labia to be as short as possible, while others prefer them to remain longer.
If the inner labia are reduced more than desired, this may create problems. Asymmetry between the labia is also considered a complication. When surgery is not performed by experienced physicians, deep scars in the surgical area or a “serrated edge” appearance at the labial margins can occur. In such cases, revision labiaplasty procedures may be performed.
The primary benefit of labiaplasty is achieving a more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the genital area. This often leads to psychological relief, increased self-confidence, feeling more comfortable with a partner, reduced embarrassment during intimacy, and greater focus on sexual pleasure.
Additionally, labiaplasty may help reduce recurrent genital infections, unpleasant discharge, and odor issues. It can also relieve irritation caused by friction from tight clothing such as pants or leggings. Functional benefits may include reduced pain during intercourse due to tension, less difficulty during urination, and prevention of urine spraying in different directions.
When looking for a specialist in labiaplasty, the internet and social media are often useful tools. A physician’s experience, website, and professional presence on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, patient forums, YouTube videos, and patient reviews can provide guidance. During a clinic visit, it is also helpful to request before-and-after photos of labiaplasty procedures.
