Labiaplasty, Non-Surgical Labiaplasty, and Revisions in Orange County

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable bringing up changes in the appearance of your labia, worried that a provider wouldn’t understand why they matter to you: you’re not alone. Many women think they should simply learn to live with discomfort or self-consciousness, but there’s another option.

Labiaplasty can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits by reshaping labial tissue in a way that’s tailored to your anatomy and goals. Whether you’re seeking to relieve discomfort or feel more at ease in your body, our labiaplasty, non-surgical labiaplasty, and reconstruction and revision procedures can help.

What Is a Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora (the inner lips that surround the opening of the vagina) and/or labia majora (the outer lips). It can also address the clitoral hood for improved balance and contour.

Women choose to get a labiaplasty for many different reasons. For some, it’s about relieving physical discomfort, such as irritation during exercise, intimacy, or daily activities. For others, it’s about improving appearance and confidence. Most often, it’s a combination of both.

What Is Non-Surgical Labiaplasty?

Also known as Aviva, a non-surgical labiaplasty uses radiofrequency energy to gently shrink and tighten the labial tissue from within. This creates a more refined, balanced appearance with less downtime.

This treatment can also address the clitoral hood, helping create a smoother, more proportionate contour.

How The Two Procedures Compare Between Non-Surgical vs. Traditional Labiaplasty

Both traditional and non-surgical labiaplasty are designed to enhance comfort and improve the appearance of the labial area, but they use different techniques and are suited to different needs, goals, and lifestyles.

Traditional Labiaplasty

• A well-established procedure with a long history of reliable results
• Provides a more dramatic tissue reduction for severe laxity
• Removes excess tissue for a one-time, permanent solution
• Typically performed under local anesthesia while you listen to music or watch a movie
• Full recovery takes approximately 6-8 weeks

Best for:
Patients seeking more significant reshaping or reduction, or those with excess tissue that requires precise removal for optimal results.

Labiaplasty with Aviva

• Uses the newest radio frequency energy devices to maximize precision and improve outcomes
• Tissue is gently shrunk rather than removed
• Performed under local anesthesia
• Recovery is typically about one week
• No visible scarring at the treatment site

Best for:
Patients who want mild improvement with less downtime or who are not candidates for traditional surgery.

Our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. David Ghozland, will review your medical history, unique anatomy, and personal goals during your initial consultation to help determine which approach may be best for you.

Benefits of Labiaplasty

• Relieves discomfort: Reduces irritation caused by excess tissue
• Minimizes chafing: Especially during exercise or physical activity
• Improves clothing comfort: Makes wearing fitted clothing and swimwear more comfortable
• Enhances confidence: Helps you feel more at ease in intimate settings
• Reduces discomfort during intimacy: Minimizes pulling or tugging during intercourse

Who is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?

You may be a good candidate for labiaplasty if you:

• Want to reduce or reshape the labia or clitoral hood
• Experience discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or when wearing certain clothing
• Experience hygiene difficulties or chronic local irritation
• Are dissatisfied with the asymmetry of the inner or outer labia
• Are in good general health without uncontrolled medical conditions

A personalized consultation with Dr. Ghozland will help determine whether traditional or non-surgical labiaplasty is the right option for you.

Combining Labiaplasty With Other Procedures

Many patients choose to combine labiaplasty with other procedures to achieve a more cohesive aesthetic result. Common combinations include:

• Clitoral hood reduction
• Labia majora reduction
• Vaginal tightening procedures

Some combinations, such as labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction, can be performed in the same session. This allows for one recovery period, making the process more efficient and convenient without compromising safety or results.

What Is a Labiaplasty Revision?

A labiaplasty revision (also called a labiaplasty reconstruction) is a corrective procedure for patients who are unhappy with the results of a previous surgery or are experiencing ongoing discomfort.

Revision surgeries should be performed by leaders in the field with extensive surgical experience and master-level techniques to avoid additional reconstructions. Choosing our practice ensures the best potential outcomes for your revision.

Each revision is highly individualized depending on the original outcome and your current goals. In most cases, it’s recommended to wait 4-6 months after the initial procedure before pursuing a revision to allow for full healing.

Common Reasons Women Seek a Revision

• Too much tissue removed: This can affect both comfort and appearance.
• Not enough tissue removed: Results may not match the patient’s expectations.
• Asymmetry: The procedure resulted in uneven sides.
• Clitoral hood concerns: The clitoral hood was not addressed or is not aligned with the desired outcome.

Dr. Ghozland uses a radiofrequency device called Soniquence, which minimizes lateral heat and protects the surrounding tissue from thermal energy.

His refined technique delivers natural-looking, balanced revision results with minimal downtime—all performed comfortably in the office under local anesthesia.

Recovery Timelines

Surgical Labiaplasty:
Most women return to work within a few days, with full healing taking approximately 6-8 weeks.

Non-surgical Labiaplasty:
Most patients return to normal activities within about one week.

Proper surgical recovery is vital to healing, which is why Dr. Ghozland created The Elite Recovery Protocol™. This unique post-recovery support program offers:

• Daily check-ins
