Labiaplasty Revision

Sometimes, achieving your desired look means going back to the problem multiple times. In the case of labiaplasty, you may notice your labia still need correction even after achieving the final results of your initial procedure. If this is the case, a labiaplasty revision may be warranted to correct issues that were not addressed the first time around. Dr. Darren Lazare performs labiaplasty revision surgeries in Vancouver, BC, for both the labia minora and labia major.  

What Is Labiaplasty Revision? 

Labiaplasty revision is a second labiaplasty that is performed after your initial procedure did not produce the desired results. In either case, labiaplasty is a cosmetic gynecological procedure performed to improve the symmetry of the labia or to remove excess tissue from the labia. This procedure may be done to improve the appearance of the genital area but can also be done to decrease discomfort caused by large labia.  

I am so grateful to have had Dr. Lazare and his team perform my surgery, I required a pelvic floor repair consisting of Uterosacral Suspension, Cystocele, Rectocele, and an Enterocele Repair. In my opinion I was in the best hands. From the first consult, through the surgery and the follow up, he took his time, explaining the procedures, and/or options, and answered my questions.

Patient Testimonials

Labiaplasty Revision Procedure 

Labiaplasty revision typically involves addressing and correcting issues or unsatisfactory results from a previous labiaplasty procedure. The specific approach to the revision surgery varies depending on the individual’s concerns and goals. The procedure may involve adjusting the size and shape of the labia minora or majora, removing excess tissue, improving symmetry, reducing scarring, or addressing any other aesthetic or functional issues. Labiaplasty revision is often performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and the surgical technique used may include trimming, wedge resection, or other methods tailored to the patient’s needs. 

Who Is a Candidate for Labiaplasty Revision?

The ideal candidate for labiaplasty revision is any individual who has previously undergone labiaplasty surgery and is dissatisfied with the results due to asymmetry, excessive scarring, loss of sensation, or other aesthetic or functional concerns. These individuals may experience physical discomfort, emotional distress, or a negative impact on their self-esteem as a result of the initial procedure. Ideal candidates for labiaplasty revision are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the revision surgery, and are motivated to address their concerns and achieve a more satisfactory aesthetic and functional result.

Labiaplasty Revision Recovery and Results 

Recovery from labiaplasty revision is similar to that of the initial procedure, with post-operative care instructions provided to minimize discomfort, promote healing, and achieve optimal results. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and pain for the first few days of your recovery. Over-the-counter pain medication, as well as ice packs, can be used to ease your discomfort. You will want to wear loose-fitting pants and undergarments during your recovery to help your incisions breathe and heal. It may take 4-6 weeks before you are able to return to strenuous exercise and sexual activity. The final results of smaller and more symmetrical labia can take up to 3 months.

Can labiaplasty revision address concerns with both appearance and function? 

Yes, labiaplasty revision can address both aesthetic concerns, such as uneven or excess tissue, as well as functional issues, such as discomfort during physical activities or intercourse. Dr. Lazare will work closely with you to understand your goals and tailor the revision procedure accordingly.
