Labiaplasty in Wyomissing, PA | Benjamin Schlechter M.D.

Understanding Labiaplasty Surgery

Inner labia that are large, misshapen, or protruding can cause physical discomfort and self-consciousness. Labiaplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the inner labia, providing women with improved comfort and confidence.

Common Reasons for Labiaplasty

• Reduce naturally large labia
• Correct enlarged labia after childbirth
• Repair irregular labia following injury or disease

Surgical Techniques for Labiaplasty

Central Wedge Resection

The most common technique preferred by Dr. Schlechter involves small incisions to excise a wedge of tissue from the inner labia. This method creates inconspicuous incisions that heal effectively while reducing labial size.

Trim Method

This technique removes a strip of skin along the entire edge of the inner lips, eliminating the darker edge and creating a smooth, lighter border.

Labiaplasty Candidacy

Ideal candidates for labiaplasty are individuals experiencing physical discomfort or emotional concerns related to labial appearance. Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a healthy weight, and have realistic surgical expectations.

Procedure Details

• Performed as an outpatient procedure
• Uses local anesthesia with optional intravenous sedation
• Typical recovery allows return to work within 3-5 days
• Sexual activity can resume after 4-6 weeks with surgeon's approval
