I am on a weight loss journey and would like to have labiaplasty surgery done due to pain and discomfort. If I have labiaplasty done and then lose a significant amount of weight (100+ pounds) will this affect the labia? Should I wait until I've lost the desired amount of weight and then have the labiaplasty?
Answer: Weight loss No, your weight loss should not have any affect on the results from your labiaplasty. However, surgery, especially general anesthesia, will be safer with the weight lost first.

Answer: A labiaplasty is permanent Congrats on your weight loss journey! A labiaplasty with labia minora reduction is a long-lasting procedure. The size of the labia minora remains unchanged regardless of weight fluctuations, as there is no subcutaneous fat in this area. Conversely, the labia majora may alter in size due to weight loss or gain, as it contains fat tissue. To ensure a successful outcome and safe recovery, it is usually recommended to reach your desired weight prior to the procedure. Wishing you the very best on your journey!

Answer: If I have labiaplasty then lose weight will this affect the labia? Hello, losing weight does not cause sagging of the labia minora; rather, sagging of the labia minora occurs due to age and pregnancy. However, it may cause sagging of the labia majora after losing too much weight.

Answer: Plastic Surgery is Best at Your Goal Weight It’s generally the outer labia that changes the most with weight gain and weight loss. However, with the outer labia getting smaller, it may actually make the inner labia look bigger relative to that. The outer labia and mons pubis stores fat, and as one loses weight, the outer labia and mons may shrink. The pubic area may also sag, and some women may actually experience elongation of the outer labia as well with weight changes. Usually plastic surgery is best performed at your goal weight, but if your inner labia is bothersome and causing chafing and symptoms, Labiaplasty can be performed really had any time to alleviate those symptoms.
