Explore Female Genital Aesthetics and Women’s Health in Nashville, TN

Our vaginal rejuvenation offerings include several procedures focused on women’s health: vaginoplasty (surgical tightening of the vagina), labiaplasty (surgery to remove redundant tissue of the inner vaginal lips or outer lips, and a clitoral hood reduction), G-Spot enhancement (placing filler into the area of maximum stimulation and sensitivity of the anterior vagina), and the O-shot (placing derivatives from a patient’s own blood to improve blood flow and stimulation to the external clitoral region).

Who is a Candidate for Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Generally, women seek vaginal rejuvenation via labiaplasty for one or more of these women’s health reasons:

  • Dislike of the appearance of the inner lips (labia minora) extending beyond the outer lips (labia majora)
  • Labia feel too bulky, limiting the ability to wear form-fitting or revealing clothing
  • Active women and athletes experience rubbing or discomfort during biking and/or running
  • Bulky labia contribute to frequent yeast infections and itching
  • A lack of sexual confidence due to the appearance of the labia
  • The bulkiness of the labia interferes with sexual activity

What is a Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure to remove redundant tissue of the labia minora, labia majora, or around the clitoris. This is often done with a clitoral hood reduction to address redundant tissue around the clitoral region.

Labiaplasty takes about one to two hours to complete and can be done in the clinic with the patient awake under local anesthesia or in a fully accredited operating room with the patient under general anesthesia. These vaginal rejuvenation patients go home the same day. You are able to return to work in one week, depending on the nature of your job. You will be advised to limit your activity and remain on modified bed rest for three to five days. You will have to avoid heavy lifting and intercourse for four to six weeks. Medication and pelvic rest can help to manage discomfort. The labia region heals extremely well, so scars from the vaginal rejuvenation surgery are very difficult to see.


Labiaplasty of the labia majora may involve liposuction in addition to surgical tissue excision, depending on your unique anatomy. This approach combines techniques to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. 

What Are the Different Types of Labiaplasty for Vaginal Rejuvenation?

The two major types of labiaplasty are wedge labiaplasty and trim (also known as an edge) labiaplasty. We most commonly perform trim labiaplasty in most vaginal rejuvenation patients. With the trim labiaplasty, the procedure is able to remove more of the excess labia minora (inner lips) with a reduced incidence of complications.

The trim technique also heals exceptionally well—important for women’s health procedures. With this vaginal rejuvenation technique, we are also able to remove the pigmented (dark-colored) aspect of the labia minora (inner lips) present in some women.

What is the Recovery From Labiaplasty?

You can typically return to work within one to two weeks after this vaginal rejuvenation procedure, depending on the physical demands of your job. For the first three to five days, you’ll need to limit activity and follow modified bed rest. Heavy lifting and intercourse will be restricted for six weeks to ensure proper healing. Any discomfort is usually well-managed with pain medication and pelvic rest. The vaginal area tends to heal exceptionally well, resulting in virtually imperceptible scars.

What is Labial Volume Enhancement for Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Age and genetics can both contribute to a flattened, thin appearance of the labia majora. We offer two types of labial volume enhancement for vaginal rejuvenation at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute: fat obtained through liposuction and also with filler. Both of these procedures can be done in the office with the patient under local anesthesia.

Labial Filler Placement

The placement of dermal fillers into the labia for volume enhancement is a quick procedure, typically taking 30 to 60 minutes. The results are temporary, lasting between six months and one year. Most patients can return to work the next day following this vaginal rejuvenation treatment. Pelvic rest is recommended for two weeks, with restrictions on heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for one week to ensure optimal healing.

Volume enhancement with filler is a temporary vaginal rejuvenation solution and will need to be repeated every nine months to one year for the desired effect.

Labial Fat Grafting

Labial fat grafting involves the transfer of fat from undesired areas into the labia. Liposuction is used to obtain fat for grafting, so this vaginal rejuvenation procedure can be done in a fully accredited operating room under general anesthesia for patients who prefer that option.

If you choose labial fat grafting for vaginal rejuvenation, you will be able to go to work after three to five days—or sooner if you are no longer taking oral pain medicine. Swelling is common after this vaginal rejuvenation procedure, but that typically resolves with time.

Volume enhancing vaginal rejuvenation with fat is typically long-lasting, although it may occasionally need to be repeated depending on the body ‘s resorption rate of the transferred fat. After labial volume enhancement, you are recommended to rest your pelvis (including intercourse) for two weeks.
