While plastic surgery may be a sensitive topic for some people to discuss, matters related to the vaginal area can be a particularly difficult subject to talk about with another person, even if that person is a doctor. Women who want to address a stretched-out vaginal canal, damaged vulvo-vaginal structures, or overly large or asymmetrical labia that cause them physical or aesthetic discomfort should know that vaginal rejuvenation is an option, with several procedures available, including labiaplasty. The Bryn Mawr, Newtown Square, and Philadelphia area’s Dr. Laura Gowen will handle everything related to this subject with compassion and discretion, from the initial consultation to the surgery itself.
Women considering a labiaplasty or similar surgery should know that thousands of women like them express dissatisfaction with their vaginal tissues, which they may consider to be too loose or visually distracting. These sorts of problems can impact daily life in a number of ways, impeding everything from wearing certain swimsuits or tight clothing to sitting comfortably to being intimate with a partner. Plastic surgeons have noticed a recent increase in women choosing labiaplasty, which has risen in popularity as a procedure over the years.

What Does a Vaginoplasty Involve?
One form of vaginal rejuvenation, a vaginoplasty, specifically addresses the vaginal canal and its associated mucous membrane (as opposed to a labiaplasty, which focuses on the external tissues). The term “vaginoplasty” technically refers to the creation of a well-functioning vagina. Dr. Gowen can repair damage due to childbirth, cancer, and other trauma, which can improve physical sensation and reduce associated pain that may be felt during intercourse.
This procedure may be considered reconstructive or cosmetic, and frequently involves tightening tissue and muscle to restore tone.
Meet Plastic Surgeon
Laura A. Gowen, M.D.
Board-certified and breast-fellowship trained plastic surgeon Laura A. Gowen, M.D., draws on her extensive experience and uses advanced techniques to create beautiful, natural results for both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery patients.
What Does a Labiaplasty Involve?
The vulva is made up of outer and inner labia, referred to respectively as the labia majora and labia minora. Labia that are overly long or shaped in such as way as to create visual and physical problems can be improved via labiaplasty. Dr. Gowen can surgically excise the unwanted tissue, in essence trimming the labia to make them smaller and less noticeable. She can also reshape the existing labia to create more balance and symmetry in the vulva.
Like surgery that impacts the internal female genitalia, labiaplasty may be chosen for cosmetic or functional reasons.
Final Words on Labiaplasty for Bryn Mawr, Newtown Square, and Philadelphia
