Laser Labiaplasty Can Be A More Gentle Procedure

Thank you for your question. Be aware that the use of Lasers in surgery is a controversial topic and objective opinion is often hard to find. I have used laser surgical techniques on delicate tissues such as the eyelids and lbai for many years and prefer this technique. My reasons for this preference are; The laser seals blood vessels as it cuts-less bleeding Less bleeding requires less clamping and cautery to control bleeding Less clamping and cautery causes less... more

Laser Labiaplasty

As most of my colleagues have pointed out, the use of a laser in labiaplasty surgery is neither good or bad. The laser cuts and coagulates tissue with a controlled burn. A scalpel simply cuts the tissue very precisely and then bleeding is controlled with a micro needle electrocautery (which coagulates the bleeding points). In both cases very little damage is done. But the operation is not what instrument makes the cuts, it is what technique the surgeon employs to sculpt the tissue and then... more

Laser is not safer....laser is a selling tool.

Hello, I have been doing this operation for about ten years. The scalpel is safer and more precise. Your time is better spent figuring out what technique you prefer and the surgeon rather than the way the surgery is to be done. The laser is a selling tool. Theoretically it could burn the patient or make the wounds less likely to heal well as it burns to an extent by definition. It is certainly not safer. Best Regards, John Di Saia MD see video

Laser labiaplasty results provide exceptional results - best labiaplasty procedure

In my practice, both laser labiaplasty and traditional labiaplasty provide outstanding results and high patient satisfaction for both functional and cosmetic labia minora reduction.

Labiaplasty Technique - Does it matter?

Labiaplasty, which most commonly involves surgical reduction of the labia minora (inner/thinner lips), has become a relatively common procedure over the last ten and even more so last five years. Whether the surgery is done using a laser, scalpel, or scissors does not really matter but what does matter is "symmetry". Symmetry is the most important aspect to the final aesthetic result. Also, it's not how much tissue is removed but how much is left remaining... more

Labiaplasty Laser Surgery

Surgical research has repeatedly shown that laser is NOT superior to a scalpel incision. On the contrary, in good hands, a scalpel incision NEVER burns and destroys tissues as does a laser. As a result, surgeons rely on "cold steel" for safety rather than using laser heat to cut tissues when accuracy and healing are at stake. One last comment, whenever someone touts "ANYTHING laser" (laser labioplasty, laser breast surgery, laser tonsil removal, laser hemorrhoidectomy... more

Labia Minora Reduction and Tools?

Thank you for the question. The results and safety of the labia minora reduction procedure ( and other plastic surgical procedures) depend more on the surgeon's skill, experience, and judgment than on the specific tool ( for example,laser or scalpel) used. I am not aware of any literature or experience that shows “laser is generally considered safer”. Be careful about the source of information you receive. Best wishes. more
