What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty, also known as vaginal reconstruction or vaginal rejuvenation, is performed to balance and reshape the contours of the labia minora (inner labia lips) and the labia majora (outer labia lips), the skin that lies above the clitoris and vagina. These areas may undergo unwanted changes after childbirth or aging, with a change in labia color, size, or shape. Enlarged labia can cause discomfort, irritation, and chafing, and women may experience reduced sexual enjoyment and self-consciousness. While discussing one’s intimate health can provoke anxiety, Dr. Burgdorf’s professionalism and kindness instantly set patients at ease and allow them to pursue their goal of an improved appearance and enhanced quality of life.

Why Choose Vaginal Rejuvenation?

There are many common reasons why you might turn to Dr. Burgdorf for his expertise in labiaplasty in Nashville, including:

  • You experience chafing and irritation when wearing snug-fitting clothing and/or using certain exercise equipment, such as a bicycle.
  • You experience pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse due to enlarged labia.
  • You dislike the look, size, length, or asymmetrical nature of your labia lips and would like to correct their aesthetic appearance.
  • You experienced a tear or other damage in the external vaginal area, perhaps during childbirth, and have lost sexual sensation or muscle strength as a result.
  • You want to include vaginal rejuvenation as part of a mommy makeover procedure.
  • You want to reduce the size of your clitoral hood to improve clitoral sensitivity during sexual intercourse.

Types of Vaginal Rejuvenation

There are three different types of vaginal rejuvenation surgeries that Dr. Burgdorf performs:

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a type of vaginal rejuvenation surgery in which excess labial tissue is eliminated to improve aesthetics and reduce the physical discomfort often associated with enlarged labia.

The size and shape of the labia are usually determined through heredity. However, aging, pregnancy, fluctuations in weight, and certain medications (such as hormones) can all cause your labia to change over time. This can leave you feeling shy or embarrassed about your intimate appearance.

Clitoral Hoodectomy

An enlarged clitoral hood can decrease sensation when having sex. A clitoral hoodectomy is designed to reduce the size of the clitoral hood and improve your sensation.

Typically, patients who seek to have a clitoral hoodectomy performed at Music City Plastic Surgery choose to have this procedure done at the same time as their labiaplasty in Nashville.

Cosmetic Vaginoplasty

If childbirth has caused your vagina to become overstretched, Dr. Burgdorf can also help with a relatively simple external vaginal rejuvenation surgery known as vaginoplasty. Vaginoplasty may help tighten the external vaginal opening (opening only, as this is a cosmetic procedure; patients may need to see a urologist to undergo functional vaginoplasty).

Vaginoplasty can help to restore the satisfying sexual function that you may have lost after giving birth. It can be performed alone, or it can easily be paired with and performed at the same time as a labiaplasty or clitoral hoodectomy procedure.

What Is the Healing Time After Labiaplasty?

If you're considering labiaplasty, a procedure designed to reshape the labia minora, labia majora, or clitoral hood, you likely have questions about what to expect during recovery. At Music City Plastic Surgery in Nashville, Dr. Michael R. Burgdorf offers compassionate, confidential care for patients pursuing vaginal rejuvenation. As an award-winning, board-certified plastic surgeon with a reputation for excellence, Dr. Burgdorf combines advanced surgical precision with a warm, supportive approach that prioritizes comfort and natural-looking results.

Here’s what you need to know about healing after labiaplasty, including the timeline, aftercare tips, and when you can resume normal activities.

How Long Is the Recovery Period After Labiaplasty?

While each patient’s healing process is unique, most labiaplasty patients can expect a recovery period of four to six weeks. The majority of healing takes place during the first two weeks, with continued improvement in comfort, swelling, and sensitivity over the following month.

At Music City Plastic Surgery, Dr. Burgdorf customizes every treatment plan and will walk you through each stage of recovery so you can feel fully supported and confident in your healing.

Week 1: Rest, Ice, and Support

Immediately following surgery, it’s normal to experience some swelling, tenderness, and mild bruising in the treated area. Dr. Burgdorf typically recommends taking 3 to 5 days off from work, especially if your job involves prolonged sitting, physical labor, or intense movement.

During the first week, you’ll want to:

  • Apply cold compresses as instructed to reduce swelling
  • Rest and elevate your lower body when possible
  • Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to avoid friction
  • Take medications as prescribed for discomfort or to prevent infection

Dr. Burgdorf’s calm demeanor and clear post-op instructions ensure that patients never feel overwhelmed. His Nashville-based practice is known for its nurturing environment and responsive care, making your recovery experience as smooth and reassuring as possible.

Weeks 2–3: Resuming Light Activity

By the second week, most swelling will have decreased and you may feel ready to ease back into daily life. You can typically:

  • Walk and move around with little discomfort
  • Return to a desk job or light non-strenuous work
  • Continue avoiding sexual activity, exercise, and heavy lifting

Dr. Burgdorf is known for his superior bedside manner and personalized attention. He’ll assess your healing at follow-up visits and guide you on when it’s safe to progress to more physical activities.

Weeks 4–6: Full Healing and Final Results

By week four, many patients begin to feel like themselves again. It’s around this time that:

  • Most swelling and discoloration have resolved
  • Scars begin to fade into the natural contours of the labia
  • Sexual activity and exercise may resume, but only with clearance from Dr. Burgdorf

Complete healing, including optimal sensation and final aesthetic results, can take a few months, but you’ll enjoy ongoing improvements week by week. Dr. Burgdorf’s labiaplasty techniques are designed to minimize scarring and preserve or enhance sensation, prioritizing both function and appearance.
