Understanding Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to reshape and reduce the size of the labia minora, which are the inner lips of the female genitalia. This procedure can help women who are experiencing discomfort or self-consciousness due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia. An experienced OB/GYN like Dr. Jeffrey Kotzen can provide this procedure to help women feel more confident and comfortable with their bodies.
Benefits of Labiaplasty
Benefits of labiaplasty include reduced discomfort and irritation during activities such as exercise, cycling, and sexual intercourse. Many women also report increased self-esteem and improved body image after the procedure. Labiaplasty can also help reduce the risk of infection and improve hygiene in the genital area.
During the procedure, Dr. Kotzen will carefully remove excess tissue from the labia minora and reshape the remaining tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. He uses the latest surgical techniques and technologies to minimize scarring and ensure optimal results. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, with no need for hospitalization.
Dr. Kotzen understands the sensitive nature of this procedure and provides compassionate care and support to his patients throughout the process. He will work closely with each patient to understand their unique needs and goals, and to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their expectations.
In addition to labiaplasty, Dr. Kotzen can provide a range of other cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for the female genitalia, including vaginoplasty, hymenoplasty, and clitoral hood reduction. These procedures can help women improve their sexual function, self-esteem, and quality of life.

Labiaplasty Q &A
What is labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a type of surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure that targets the labia, the inner (labia minora) and outer folds (labia majora) of your vulva.
The surgery involves techniques to reduce the size of your labia minora, so they’re even with the labia majora. Dr. Kotzen uses precise surgical techniques, using a laser instead of a scalpel, to reduce the size or change the shape of labial tissue.
He can also use specialized surgical techniques to transfer fat from other areas of your body and liposculpturing procedures to enhance the shape and appearance of your labia.
Why should I consider a labiaplasty?
You may want to consider a labiaplasty if you’re unhappy with the appearance of an enlarged labia.
This enlargement can be the result of aging, genetics, or childbirth and interfere with your self-confidence during sexual activity. Your labia may also be more noticeable when wearing tight clothing or a swimsuit.
A labiaplasty may also be a treatment option if an enlarged labia interferes with your everyday activities. Some women experience discomfort or pain during physical activity or sex. You might also be at increased risk for recurrent urinary tract infections because of the size of the labia minora.
How long does it take to recover from laser labiaplasty?
Laser labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure, so you won’t need to schedule extended downtime for recovery. You need to avoid strenuous activity for at least a week after your labiaplasty and not have sex until Dr. Kotzen clears you.
Dr. Kotzen uses a precision laser to remove excess labial tissue and closes the wound with absorbable, fine sutures. His technique ensures optimal results while reducing your risk for postsurgical complications and scarring.
It’s normal to have some bruising and swelling in the treatment area for up to two weeks. Dr. Kotzen helps you manage any pain you have. You should wear loose-fitting clothing for at least four weeks to keep comfortable.
You should see the full results of your labiaplasty within six weeks of your procedure.
