Hi I'm really hoping I can find an OB surgeon or specialist who can help me with labiaplasty. I have $3K in my FSA spending account from my employer that I'm hoping I can use for this procedure. I'm 29 going on 30 and in recent years due to genetics (I assume) my labia has grown to the point where it's painful to have sex, wear jeans/other types of clothing, and perform certain exercises. I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Answer: Labiaplasty isn't covered by FSA Labiaplasty is not covered by FSA. If you have discomfort, it's not covered. If it's genetic, it's not covered. If it's not genetic, it's not covered...you get the idea. If you tried to use your FSA funds for labiaplasty, you would be hit with both taxes and a hefty fine. However, most labiaplasty specialist offer payment plans and financing options to make these procedures affordable.

Answer: Yes FSA covers labiaplasty under certain circumstances You can use FSA towards the cost of a labiaplasty if you have a letter of medical necessity from your doctor or if your plan specifically allows it.

Answer: Labiaplasty and FSA This a question to research in your insurance information provided on their website. See what the FSA monies are able to be applied to. If you need to ask a specific person, I suggest telling them that you are having an elective procedure and you would like to know if you are able to apply the monies you have accumulated towards the procedure. You do not have to tell them specifically what you are having done. I hope this helps.

Answer: Labiaplasty Your labia minora are enlarged. Of most importance, they cause you discomfort. In that case, a labiaplasty is a good idea, but it must be performed by a surgeon with experience. One of the two most common techniques is the central wedge technique, which I invented in 1995 and published in the plastic surgery textbooks. It is also known as the "V" or wedge technique. Gynecologists and most plastic surgeons perform a labioplasty very differently. They essentially trim the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and leave a long suture line instead of the normal labial edge. Their technique is the same whether a scalpel or a laser is used. This can lead to scallops and irregularities. In contrast, the central wedge removes triangles of tissue and bring the normal edges together. Thus, the normal labial edges, normal color, and normal anatomy are preserved, but the darkest labial tissue is usually removed. If you have extra tissue on your clitoral hood, it can be reduced it at the same time. No matter the technique, an inexperienced or unskilled surgeon can lead to a high rate of complications, chronic scar discomfort, labial deformities, and further surgery. About 40% of the female genital cases I perform are revisions of labiaplasties and clitoral hoods botched by other doctors.

Answer: Can I use my FSA spending account for labiaplasty? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and it appears you would be an excellent candidate for a reduction. As for your FSA you would need to talk to your HR department to see what exactly your coverage permits.
