What Is Labiaplasty?
Although it isn't talked about openly, some women worry about the shape and size of their labia, which can have a tremendous impact on their confidence and self-esteem. Dr. Lawrence Iteld can help women feel more attractive and comfortable with surgical vaginal rejuvenation to correct the size and shape of the labia. The labia, which are the external lips of the vaginal area, can look stretched or have loose skin as a result of genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, or a past injury. Labiaplasty is a surgery that reduces the size of the labia majora and/or minora for a more uniform appearance. Not only can this reduce irritation and discomfort, but it can also enhance your pleasure in the bedroom. Come in for a consultation at Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL to learn more about labiaplasty, and find out if you may be a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation surgery.
How Does Labiaplasty Work?
Many vaginal rejuvenation treatments can be performed on-site at our Chicago, IL facility under local anesthesia so you may drive yourself to and from your appointment. If your treatment plan is more extensive, you may need general anesthesia at an accredited facility so you will need a responsible friend or family member to drive you home after your procedure. Dr. Iteld will talk about your treatment plan and time estimates at your consultation so you can make arrangements, if needed, before your procedure. A labiaplasty is generally performed with the trim technique to remove extra tissue. After that, the remaining skin is stitched so it is taut. Another technique is the wedge technique, which removes a triangular piece of tissue and extra folds from the clitoral hood before the tissue is stitched shut.

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Office review - took his time to go over and explain everything - 2 breastfed children later, some devastating life circumstances and months of research, I end up finding Dr.Iteld here on realself and yes, it was the best decision I have ever made!2 surgeries were performed at the same time. Breast augmentation and labiaplasty. Currently 6 weeks Post Surgery. Pros: Dr.Iteld and his office is absolutely fantastic. I work in the medical industry for quite some time and let me just say that he is one of the kind! Not only he did a phenomenal job and gave me the confidence about my body back. He also made me feel EXTREMELY comfortable even when some things are not so comfortable to show and share. I think he was the first doctor I have met who truly took his time to go over and explain everything from A to Z. I didn’t not feel rushed even once, but I did feel that everyone in the office do actually care about their patients!I’m the person who does a lot of research prior doing anything related to my body and I most definitely don’t take it for granted. After the first consultation with Dr.Iteld I knew I was in the right hands. His norco free recovery is outstanding! It was the most painless and comfortable recovery, which I didn’t even expect to be that easy!“Happy patients are the best marketing” and it is very true, because I just can’t stop talking about Dr.Iteld and his office and how happy I am with the work he has done!Cons: None.Ps. Special thank you to Linda (patient coordinator) I truly appreciate you from the bottom of my heart!

Labiaplasty FAQ
Who is a good candidate for a treatment for labiaplasty?
Women of all ages and backgrounds regularly choose a labiaplasty procedure to regain a sense of confidence and pleasure after childbirth, as they get older, or once they begin experiencing the symptoms of menopause. Women also consider labiaplasty if they have never been satisfied with the look or feel of their labia.
Dr. Iteld believes that the best candidates are those who are making the choice for themselves so they can live the life they want.
Is a narcotics-free recovery possible with labiaplasty?
Managing pain during your recovery period should be the last thing on your mind. Dr. Iteld’s thoughtful approach to surgery takes the entire process — including healing and downtime — into account, which means he aims from the start to keep you off opioids. The secret is in planning from the consultation on to prevent pain, not to treat it as an unavoidable side effect. So, yes! Narcotics-free recovery is not only possible, but also desirable.
What can you expect after labiaplasty?
All surgery requires some healing, so plan to avoid any activity that would involve the vaginal area in the days following the procedure. There will likely be some swelling and bruising, but women generally find that they are feeling well enough to celebrate their new look and feel within a couple of weeks.
What other procedures complements labiaplasty?
The hormonal ups and downs of pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can cause changes beyond vaginal ones. Women who have experienced a shift may also find that they are considering breast augmentation and/or a breast lift to restore a more youthful silhouette, liposuction to address stubborn pockets of fat, and other treatments. Many of these can be combined into a Mommy Makeover. Talk with Dr. Iteld to create a plan that meets your unique needs.
