Benefits of Labiaplasty in Santa Monica
Aesthetics
Regardless of why you’re searching for labiaplasty surgery, our talented Younique providers can help reshape your labia in any way you would like.
Comfort
We understand that excess skin can lead to an enlarged labia, which can lead to discomfort and medical concerns. This procedure can remove any excess skin that you may be concerned about.
Sex
Self-confidence is a big part of feeling “in the mood” with your partner. Labiaplasty surgery can help make intercourse more enjoyable and more sensitive.
Consultation
Before any treatment can begin, we will have you come in for a consultation. During this time, you will discuss your medical history, concerns, and your goals for treatment. After speaking, your doctor may decide getting a labiaplasty in Santa Monica is a great way to meet your treatment goal.
If you decide you would like to move forward with treatment at Younique, our staff will get you all the information you need to know about treatment.
Procedure
Once you arrive at our office, our staff will guide you back to the treatment room. Once you’re in the room and comfortable, your provider will administer general anesthesia. After this, your provider will alter the labial area that you two discussed in your consultation.
This procedure is classified as outpatient because you will be able to return home right after surgery—make sure you have someone to give you a ride home. The surgical process for a labiaplasty in Santa Monica typically takes between 1 to 2 hours. We normally use sutures that dissolve over time so you don’t need to get extra stitches removed.
Recovery
The discomfort and pain that patients have reported feeling after surgery typically fades away within a few days. Typically, patients are able to go back to work within a week—as long as their job doesn’t require strenuous activity. At Younique, we have some short guidelines to ensure the best recovery experience.
- Pain medication can be used.
- Ice packs are helpful for swelling and to reduce pain.
- Do not take part in sexual relations for at least 6 weeks after surgery.
- Avoid strenuous exercise.
- Try to avoid using tampons and wearing thong underwear.
- Avoid bathtubs and hot tubs. Showering is the best way to maintain hygiene.

The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
How long does labiaplasty recovery take?
Before the surgery starts, your provider will place you under general anesthesia. Your needs make require a longer surgery than others, but surgery will be no longer than 2 hours.
Your Younique provider will make sure you’re informed about everything before treatment. Typically, full recovery can take between 6 and 8 weeks, depending on how much work was done.
When will I be able to return to work after surgery?
Some patients have returned to work in as little as 2 to 4 days, with some restrictions based on the job’s physical demand. Other patients have taken a week off to allow their bodies more rest for recovery—the more rest your body gets, the better the recovery process. After you have recovered from surgery, reach out to us and your surgeon with any questions you may have about post-care.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for labiaplasty?
Every woman will have unique concerns related to their labia. There is no benchmark for the appearance of a person’s labia.
However, if you have been feeling discomfort or pain down there when taking part in sexual activity or even when just having clothes on, you may be a good candidate. We recommend patients looking for labiaplasty in Santa Monica part take in a healthy lifestyle, don’t smoke, and are not looking to have more children through natural childbirth.
