How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?

No two labia look the same – some are longer, and others appear overly full. Each person has a unique appearance. But many women are dissatisfied with the shape or size of their labia. Dr. Coville performs labiaplasty for those wanting to adjust the appearance of their labia minora or labia majora. 

What is Labiaplasty?

Most people think Labiaplasty is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of the labia minora. However, labiaplasty can also refer to the labia majora or both. Some patients feel their labia minora may be too long or unequal in appearance, causing discomfort during sex or aesthetic preferences. Other women may dislike the puffiness or flatness of their labia majora (the external labia of the genital region). Still, others may need improvement of both areas. 

There are two main procedures for labiaplasty of the inner labia: edge resection and wedge resection. Edge resection trims the excess skin on the edges of the labia, while wedge resection keeps the edges but cuts a wedge out of the center of the labia minora. Dr. Coville will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of either procedure to help you make the right choice for you. 

Labiaplasty of the labia majora can be for deflation, excess skin, or too much “puffiness.” Depending on your desires, Dr. Coville may use liposuction or a filler to adjust the fullness of the labia majora or recommend a skin tightening procedure to shape the outer labia correctly. 

Some patients choose to receive labiaplasty as a stand-alone procedure. 

Others may choose it as part of a mommy makeover or in combination with Votiva non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments.

Many women opt for a comprehensive feminine rejuvenation which might include:

Inner labiaplasty, outer labiaplasty, or reduction of the mons area. If you would like vaginal tightening, then you might want to consider a surgical vaginoplasty. 

How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of labiaplasty in the U.S. is $3,053. This estimate does not include all associated costs like anesthesia, recovery medications, or facility fees. The price of any surgery also varies based on several factors, such as your geographic location and the provider’s experience.

If your surgery is reconstructive, you may receive help from insurance companies to cover the expenses of your procedure. To know the cost of your surgery, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Coville. A member of his team will discuss your personalized quote and the final price estimate. 

What Factors into the Cost of Labiaplasty?

Your provider’s expertise, consultation fees, anesthesiologist fees, practice location, and recovery expenses are factors in the cost of your labiaplasty. The practice has expenses such as facility costs, paying anesthesiologists, nurses, and doctors, and various other fees that can affect the final price. 

How Long is Recovery from Labiaplasty?

You will need at least three to seven days off work to recover from labiaplasty. After surgery, your labia will be swollen and sore. Dr. Coville may prescribe an antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection and schedule one or two follow-up appointments to check on your progress. 

At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery, we recommend wearing loose clothing and avoiding rigorous activities to reduce friction and pain during recovery. Most patients find that taking salt or sitz baths helps alleviate some soreness. We do not recommend wearing tampons or participating in sex for four to six weeks to ensure a safe full recovery.

If you use ice packs to reduce swelling, please use them in 20 minutes on/20 minutes off increments. Most swelling will subside after six weeks, but you may experience some for up to six months.
