Labiaplasty in St. Louis: Enhancing Comfort and Confidence

Understanding Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the inner and/or outer vaginal lips (labia) to address both cosmetic and functional concerns. Dr. John H. Hulsen, III offers this procedure to women in St. Louis who experience discomfort or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their labial area.

Benefits of Labiaplasty

• Improved comfort during physical activities
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Reduced irritation from clothing
• Improved sexual comfort
• Correction of asymmetry

Ideal Candidates for Labiaplasty

Women who experience physical discomfort, self-consciousness, or functional issues due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia may be good candidates for labiaplasty. Dr. Hulsen assesses each patient's individual needs during a consultation to determine suitability for the procedure.

The Labiaplasty Procedure

Dr. Hulsen performs labiaplasty under general anesthesia or sedation, often combining it with other surgeries. The procedure involves making small incisions to reduce excess tissue and carefully closing with absorbable stitches. Incision placement is strategically planned to minimize impact on intercourse.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients typically return to work within 2-5 days post-surgery. Strenuous activities should be avoided for three weeks, and sexual intercourse for six weeks. Dr. Hulsen provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
