Many more women in the United States are becoming aware of the appearance of their labia -- the outer lips of the vaginal area -- because they've had pubic hair trimmed. We would like to bring this to the attention of women in Fairfield, Connecticut. Additionally, more before-and-after pictures of the procedure are being seen on the Internet and in popular magazines. Some patients even bring articles and pictures to the doctor to show how they would like their labia to look after surgery.

Patients often complain that elongated labia can jut (poke out) from swimwear, gym and workout clothes. Some say enlarged labia cause local irritation and problems with personal hygiene, while also interfering with intimate relationships. The tissues can also cause discomfort during vigorous activities like cycling, walking or even sitting for long periods of time. In some cases, the labia are uneven or damaged. Dr. Beran is dedicated to bring this to the attention of Fairfield, Connecticut women.

Labiaplasty (sometimes spelled labiaplasty) is the surgical procedure that shortens, trims or repairs the labia majora and/or minora.

Labiaplasty can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures and usually requires intravenous sedation; it takes between one to two hours to complete and can be performed in the doctor's office or in a hospital. Results are permanent. Possible risks include the labia becoming mildly enlarged again over time. Scarring is the most common complication, although it happens rarely at the hands of a board certified plastic surgeon.

Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Fairfield County has long experience in performing labiaplasty; moreover, we are seeing more patients including those who live in Fairfield, Connecticut who are asking for improvements in the labium.
