The vagina is certainly a sensitive part of a woman’s body. Both aging and childbirth can take a toll on the labia, resulting in numbness, loss of sexual pleasure, chafing, and introversion over one’s appearance. Our Boston labiaplasty procedure at Montilla Plastic Surgery, performed in the Greater Boston Area or Worcester, can improve both the aesthetics and comfort of the vagina, restoring your self confidence in the sexual arena.
Labiaplasty is also helpful to women who have congenital labial issues, such as asymmetrical labia, enlarged labia, or elongated labia. Such conditions often result in discomfort during common activities, such as exercising, bike riding, and engaging in intercourse.

How is Labiaplasty Performed?
Labiaplasty is performed at our fully-accredited surgery center in either Greater Boston Area or Worcester. Stacked with state-of-the-art equipment in a discreet setting, your labiaplasty will be completed in about 1-2 hours.
Generally performed under local anesthesia, you will feel no discomfort or pain during your procedure.
Dr. Montilla will first create small incisions within the folds of the labia, which will be virtually invisible following surgery. Through these incisions, he will remove unwanted tissue and create a tighter, more appealing appearance to the vagina. He will use minute sutures to close the incisions, which will dissolve naturally after several weeks. The labia will maintain its sensitivity and skin color, allowing you to move forward free from embarrassment.
What Will Happen During Labiaplasty Recovery?
Our labiaplasty in Worcester is an outpatient procedure, and you will leave the surgery center the same day under the care of a friend of family member. Our office will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions, as well as any pain medication necessary. Dr. Montilla will monitor your recovery period to ensure healing is moving along properly. In general, patients can resume work and normal activity within 3-4 days.
The day after surgery, you will be able to bathe and shower. Vigorous exercise, and especially intercourse, will need to wait for about 3 weeks. Dr. Montilla will provide full approval of your level of activity.
