What to Expect at Each Step of Your Labiaplasty?
In today’s society, women are far more open about their bodies than they ever have been before. From their choice of outfit – showing more skin, and in a tasteful way, than ever before, to openly discussing their desire to ever-enhance and improve their bodies – for both their own satisfaction, as well as that of their partners. And when it comes to body enhancement, Dr. Richard Swift MD, the top labiaplasty specialist NYC has to offer, has been able to help countless women to achieve their ideal body, in more than a few different ways! Interestingly enough this level of openness has been somewhat of an improvement on our society – as women are able to openly discuss such important topics, that might have been kept in the dark in years past. The fact of the matter is that when it comes to areas such as the vagina, woman must understand that they only have one life to live, and if they are suffering from certain issues within their intimate areas that are preventing them from having the vaginal function they want, or from being able to achieve the vaginal appearance they want – especially when it is relatively attainable through a fairly common surgical procedure, than why must they live in fear of other’s opinions. Thanks to surgeon’s like Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist NYC has in practice, the labiaplasty has allowed generations of women the opportunity to live their best life – whether that be sexually, or purely a matter of function and no longer being in some level of discomfort. However, according to Dr. Swift, the best labiaplasty specialist Midtown Manhattan, despite the popularity if the labiaplasty procedure, many women are still fairly uneducated on what it actually entails. Here are some important things to know about the procedure.
The labiaplasty procedure itself, is a surgical procedure that can improve both cosmetic and health concerns in your vaginal area by reshaping or resizing the vaginal lips or labia. Labiaplasty can help address the size, shape or symmetry of your labia. In addition, it can help reduce discomfort from wearing tight clothing as well as discomfort during exercise or intercourse. According to Dr. Swift, as more women learn about the procedure, inevitably it begs the question of what they should expect moving forward – in addition to questions about the recovery and much more. The fact is that if you are in good overall health, do not smoke, and are unhappy with the size, shape or the appearance of your labia – and it affects your confidence and in some ways can get in the way of normal activities such as sexual intercourse and more – then, according to Dr. Swift, the best labiaplasty specialist Midtown Manhattan, you are an ideal candidate for the labiaplasty.
Initial Consultation
The fact is that, like it is with every type of surgical enhancement procedure, the initial consultation is the point at which your surgeon will be able to perform a careful and thorough body inspection to judge your candidacy for the labiaplasty procedure. In addition, if you have any issues or discomfort with your labia, in its current state, you should make your surgeon aware of these issues and they will decide if surgery is something that can fix that. In addition, this is where you can ask any and all questions about your procedure.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Once you and your surgeon decide that the labiaplasty is right for you, it vital that you devise a careful and thorough plan of action for the day of the procedure, as well as the recovery period that you will have to go through as well. Its highly likely that you will need at least a week or longer off from work, as well as someone who can assist you with making and preparing food, and essentially helping you with household chores, so that you can take it easy and focus your efforts on your recovery. This also includes plenty of sleep, solid high calorie diet, good amount of water, as well as pain relief medications – likely prescribed by your -doctor – to mitigate any pain or discomfort. The first few days should be all about recovery, and spent 80-90% in bed.
The Procedure
The thing about a labiaplasty, according to Dr. Swift, the top labiaplasty specialist NYC has to offer, is that it is an outpatient procedure – and patients can go home on the same day as their surgery; however, this also depends on the type of procedure you have. The two forms of labiaplasty include – the labia majora reduction, which helps reduce the size and shape of the outer vaginal lips. While the labia minora reduces the size and shape of the inner lips. These reductions are either made using the trim technique or the wedge technique. During the trim technique, as the best labiaplasty specialist Midtown Manhattan has to offer, Dr. Swift will carefully remove excess skin around the outer edge of the labia. During the wedge technique, a v-shaped “wedge” is cut out of the labia at the widest point then the edges are stitched together. In addition, there are certain complimentary procedures women of a somewhat advanced age, may choose to undergo as well, such as clitoral hood reduction or vaginal rejuvenation (to tighten the inner muscles that make up the vaginal walls).
