can this surgery be done under local anesthesia. Interested in minora trim and wondering if insurance would consider cover fee. Pls advise how much surgery cost out of pocket (northern VA)
Answer: Yes! I do labiaplasty under local anesthesia all the time. The only time I do it under general anesthesia is if they are having a general anesthesia procedure (like a tummy tuck) at the same time. It is very well tolerated. As far as insurance, you would have to check with your insurance company to ask if it is covered. What I have found is that it is not commonly a covered procedure, but some policies do allow it.

Answer: Can my labiaplasty be done under local with insurance Thank you for your question Your surgery is not as simple as you think. You have issues with not only the lower pair of labia ( that inserts into the clitoris) but also have excess prepuce (upper portion of the labia which forms the hood )which if not addressed properly will give you results you will probably not be happy with. This can be done under local but most surgeons would prefer to do this close to two hours procedure under some form of anesthesia. Insurance companies will not cover the fee any competent surgeon will charge for these procedures See the video below to become more informed

Answer: Local anesthesia It is possible to have labiaplasty performed under local, however it would depend on the opinion of your surgeon. Labiaplasty is typically considered an aesthetic procedure therefore it may not be covered under insurance. However, insurance may cover it if your labia minora is causing you discomfort and irritation. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Yes, and it depends Yes, labiaplasty can be done under local anesthesia in the office quite comfortably. Insurance coverage depends on your insurance plan, as with everything, but in my experience it's rare and only for severely hypertrophied labia that cause functional issues.
