The three basic types of labiaplasty are; reduction labiaplasty, augmentation labiaplasty, and liposuction labioplasty.
The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia, which usually takes from 30 minutes to two hours. Labiaplasty can be carried out in conjunction with vaginal rejuvenation, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast enhancement, or other cosmetic procedures.
The most common procedure performed is labia minora modification and reduction (labioplasty). It is a plastic surgery to trim excess tissue from labia minora stretched by child-bearing or natural aging.
The plastic surgeon Dr. Ruiz Ruiz cuts away part of the top layer of the labia minora, retaining the underlying tissue, and closes the incisions.
