LABIAPLASTY
Labiaplasty, or labia reduction, is a procedure that requires a delicate touch and a deep understanding of patients’ needs. Dr. Rodgers specializes in this sensitive area of plastic surgery, offering compassionate care and expertise to every patient. With Dr. Rodgers, patients benefit from the comfort and assurance of being treated by a female plastic surgeon and an all-female staff.
There are various reasons why individuals seek labiaplasty, including cosmetic concerns or to alleviate discomfort during activities like athletics or intercourse. While labiaplasty does not directly enhance sexual pleasure, it can significantly boost confidence in one’s sexuality by addressing issues related to enlarged labia.
During the procedure, excess tissue of the labia minora or majora is removed using either the trim technique or the wedge technique. The trim technique involves removing excess skin to correct any discoloration, while the wedge technique is more intricate and is preferred by patients who wish to avoid incisions on the outer surface of the labia.
Dr. Rodgers performs labiaplasty in the privacy of her office under local anesthesia, although some patients may opt for surgery in a hospital operating room under general anesthesia. These options are thoroughly discussed during the initial consultation to ensure each patient’s comfort and satisfaction.
Denver Plastic Surgery offers additional procedures aimed at enhancing women’s sexual health and satisfaction.
These procedures can be performed individually or combined with the labiaplasty surgery, depending on each patient’s unique needs and goals. One such procedure is the diVa laser treatment by Sciton, a cutting-edge technology designed to address urinary incontinence, painful intercourse, and sagging labial tissues. Dr. Rodgers was the first physician in Colorado to offer this advanced laser, dedicated to helping women achieve optimal sexual health and pleasure. Recognized for her expertise with this technology, her office has been honored as a “Sciton Center of Excellence.”
Another offering is the O-SHOT® procedure, which has shown promising results in improving overall sexual function for women. By increasing clitoral and vaginal sensitivity, this procedure can enhance sexual desire and enjoyment, contributing to a more fulfilling intimate experience.
As with all surgeries, there are certain risks involved. During your initial consultation, Dr. Rodgers will discuss your procedure in depth and will describe the realistic potential results and any possible risks.
