Labiaplasty – rejuvenate, look and feel your very best
As a natural part of aging, after childbirth, or due to hormonal fluctuations, some negative effects can occur to women’s bodies. Many women experience changes where the skin surrounding the vagina may become loose or sag with extraneous skin or fat in the labia major or labia minor, also known as the inner vaginal lips. A non-surgical labiaplasty tightens the skin around the labia for a smoother appearance. But this procedure isn’t just about aesthetics; changes to a woman’s anatomy, such as an enlarged labia, can cause physical discomfort and pain when wearing tight clothing or during sex. This discomfort, experienced by many patients, can be alleviated by a labial reduction.
Whether patients seek to remedy this issue for cosmetic or medical reasons, reducing the excess tissue surrounding the vagina can make everyday living easier. From riding a bike or wearing form-fitting clothing to minimizing pain during sexual activity, undergoing a corrective procedure can be quite helpful in restoring life’s pleasures and self-esteem.
We offer non-surgical labia reduction with ThermiVa as a form of vaginal rejuvenation. This outpatient procedure involves no incisions or stitches but tightens the labia without the destruction of tissue. Jim Brantner Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Johnson City, Tennessee seeks to advise and safely serve patients in the surrounding communities. With his skilled staff and team of board-certified plastic surgeons, the practice can help women seeking the right solution to their goals of body enhancement.
Non-Surgical Labiaplasty & the Labiaplasty Procedure
A labiaplasty is a rejuvenation procedure performed on the labia major, the larger, outer “lips” surrounding the vagina, or labia minor, which are the smaller, inner lips. Non-surgical labiaplasty is a non-invasive body enhancement procedure that will alter labia size or shape. In doing so, the vaginal lips usually become smaller and more symmetrical, achieving natural looking results.
This medical procedure decreases skin dryness, can help with urinary stress incontinence, and alleviates painful intercourse by reducing the amount of loose, sagging skin outside the vagina. By lessening the amount of excess labial skin that surrounds the vagina, everyday activities like riding a bike, wearing tight clothing, and sex become less painful for most patients. It’s an effective way to remove excess tissue causing discomfort.

When Is Labiaplasty Performed & Necessary?
A labiaplasty is performed when a patient has excessive loose skin that should be removed to achieve their desired results. It is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures for women seeking relief from an elongated labia.
Symptoms that may require patients to undergo a labiaplasty include:
- Painful intercourse due to a large labia
- Avoidance of sex associated with painful intercourse
- Pain while performing tasks like cycling or horseback riding
- Pain while wearing tight clothing due to large inner lips
When a labiaplasty surgery is performed, small incisions are made in order to remove extraneous labial skin and fat. One of the common surgical techniques is the trim technique, while another is the wedge technique, which involves removing a wedge of tissue. Dissolvable sutures, which fade within two weeks of the procedure, are used to close the incisions. A clitoral hood reduction may also be performed with other procedures if necessary.
The medical procedure generally requires an hour to perform, though more complicated surgeries may require more time. General anesthesia, which puts patients under a deep sleep, is often used because the area undergoing the operation is so sensitive. Under normal circumstances, clients return to work and their normal schedule within three to four days after the operation, but the full recovery process will be discussed during your consultation.
Benefits of Labiaplasty: Achieving Natural Looking Results
The benefits of labiaplasty are largely cosmetic or visual improvements that boost self-esteem. Reconstructive improvements, which means the function of the body is improved, can also be attained through this labiaplasty procedure.
Labiaplasty corrects and provides benefits such as:
- Tightens a sagging labia
- Removal of excessive labial skin and fat
- Symmetry correction of the labia
- Improved appearance of the outer lips
- Improved sexual intercourse
- Ability to wear tight clothing without pain
ThermiVa As a Non-Surgical Alternative & Other Procedures
While labiaplasty is a successful surgical approach, other options such as ThermiVa should be considered prior to undergoing surgery.
Labiaplasty is an invasive, surgical procedure that requires anesthesia due to the sensitivity of the area of operation. Older patients may not wish to receive anesthesia or undergo surgery, which makes ThermiVa an ideal alternative.
A non-invasive, non-surgical option, ThermiVa uses a wand that emits radiofrequency energy that does not cause damage to the vaginal tissues. As the wand heats the tissues of the vulva, the radiofrequency energy tightens and firms loose tissues. Though ThermiVa provides many of the same outcomes as a labiaplasty, the treatment is better for those wishing to see the same results without removing an excessive amount of labial skin or fat.
Best results often occur after three treatments over the course of three months. This option is better for patients of all ages wishing to receive similar—and more—benefits associated with a labiaplasty. The body enhancement procedure does not require anesthesia and is completely painless. It is sometimes considered as part of a mommy makeover plan.

Dr. Brantner is a highly skilled surgeon. I am so happy that I decided to go to him. After being in a car accident my nasal bones and surrounding bones had to be reconstructed. The first surgeon who worked on me did a terrible job and had zero bedside manner. That is when I sought out Dr. Branner, he not only did an amazing job fixing everything the first Doctor messed up, he also made it look better than it did originally. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
