- Longevity: Long-lasting results for surgical options; non-surgical results typically last 6–12 months.
- Best Candidates: Women experiencing excess tissue, volume loss, or sagging of the labia majora in good overall health.
What to Expect
Before the Procedure:
During your consultation with Dr. Tim, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history. Dr. Tim will evaluate your anatomy to recommend the most suitable treatment option, whether surgical or non-surgical. Preoperative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications, will be provided for surgical procedures.
During the Procedure:
- Surgical Remodelling: Excess tissue is removed or reshaped, and incisions are carefully placed to minimise scarring. Fat transfer or dermal fillers may be added to restore volume.
- Non-Surgical Remodelling: Dermal fillers are injected to restore fullness, or energy-based devices tighten and rejuvenate the tissue.
The procedure is conducted in a private, comfortable environment, ensuring patient discretion and safety.
After the Procedure:
Mild swelling and discomfort are normal in the treated area and subside within a few weeks for surgical options. Non-surgical treatments typically involve minimal downtime.
Labia majora remodelling is a procedure to enhance the appearance, comfort, and function of the outer vaginal lips, addressing concerns such as sagging, volume loss, or asymmetry.
Good candidates are women with concerns about excess tissue, sagging, or volume loss in the labia majora who are in good overall health.
Most patients resume light activities within 1–2 weeks for surgical procedures. Non-surgical options involve little to no downtime.
Scars from surgical remodelling are minimal and typically hidden in natural creases.
Surgical results are long-lasting, while non-surgical options may require maintenance every 6–12 months.
Surgical procedures are performed under anaesthesia, ensuring no discomfort during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with pain relief. Non-surgical treatments are minimally invasive and typically well-tolerated.
Yes, labia majora remodelling can be combined with other procedures, such as labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation, for comprehensive results.
