I haven't heard a lot about the Co2 laser for labiaplasty. A place in my area offers Co2 laser labiaplasty (reduction of the labia minora, which is what i want). From what I read it uses a laser to cut vs a surgical instrument? I'd like to know more about how the cost compares to the typical labiaplasty and results between them, recovery time etc.

Answer: #Labiaplasty Laser is just another way to cut the pink labia minora. it might help a bit with bleeding but it sure is not superior than a traditional scalpel. I have the laser for skin and mucosal cutting but I hardly ever use it unless its the only option for the patient. cost wise, its a personal choice for the patient. personally I wouldn't recommend choosing based on cost but that's just me.

Answer: Laser labiaplasty While lasers do have their own unique applications and consequent benefits, in this case the laser is just a fancy (and expensive) scalpel. For lack of a better term, it is a "lightsaber." Cutting and cauterizing as it goes. If movies have taught us anything it is not the blade but the Jedi wielding it that makes all the difference. Careful planning and skill with his/her chosen tool is of paramount importance.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD
