Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that has gained popularity for its ability to address both cosmetic and functional concerns related to the labia. If you’re considering this procedure, understanding its benefits, process, and recovery can help you make an informed decision.
What is a labiaplasty procedure?
A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to alter the appearance or size of the labia, also known as the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. This procedure can be performed for cosmetic reasons, to address discomfort, or to resolve issues related to asymmetry.

Dr. Rodgers uses local numbing agents to guarantee patients are comfortable throughout the procedure.

What is the healing timeline?
Patients typically have residual swelling from the procedure that can last up to 3-6 months, however the most critical healing period is 6 weeks. During this time, it is beneficial to rest & ice the surgical area and elevate legs. Patients need to understand that within the first 6 weeks they are prohibited from strenuous activity, intercourse and the use of tampons. It is best to consider these restrictions when scheduling the procedure.
Why is a labiaplasty life-changing?
Many women find they wish they had undergone the procedure earlier. Labiaplasties can significantly enhance quality of life by increasing comfort and boosting confidence, whether in everyday activities or while wearing leggings and swimsuits. It’s particularly beneficial for those who have had multiple children, as childbirth can stretch the tissue. The procedure can also improve comfort during activities such as bike riding, horseback riding, and sexual intercourse.
What other female specific services do we offer?
Denver Plastic Surgery also offers DiVa vaginal laser therapy and the O-Shot procedure, both of which can enhance healthy vaginal tissue and improve pleasure.
