Will a new sexual partner notice that you had labiaplasty?

Highly unlikely that a "new" sex partner will know, even if he/she is a plastic surgeon him or herself.  Because the inner labia tissue is somewhat similar to the inside of the mouth, it too heals nearly inconspicuous scars.  My personal experience and thus opinion is that the Trim method does indeed leave less visible scars because the scar is concealed within the edge of the labia which is relatively irregular/ropey/corrugated normally.  Whereas the Wedge technique leaves a scar traversing perpindicularly right through the middle of the new labia.  Glad to help.   

Thank you for your question, which is a frequently asked one in my practice.  Labiaplasty techniques vary but the placement of the scars are usually such that only someone who is very experienced with the female anatomy (such as a plastic surgeon or OB/Gyn) would notice on close inspection.  Patient satisfaction with this procedure in my practice is very high and patients often report improved sex lives after surgery.  This is, of course, in part due to boosted self confidence.  I've had patients who were too embarrassed to have sex for years before they underwent labiaplasty.  It's important that you consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to get the results you desire.  All the best to you.Ruth Celestin, M.D.

The position of the scar really depends on the type of labiaplasty procedure that you have. Historically they used to just trim the excess labia off and sew this so that the scar was on the front of the labia. The wedge technique allows for the scar to be going inwards towards the vaginal opening as well as towards the outer fold of the labia.  The scars become very well hidden and concealed.  In addition part of the scar is on a mucosal surface. These tend to heal very very well.  I would seek the plastic surgeon who does for a number of labioplasty procedures for a consultation of what your options are

I would say it is very unlikely that a sexual partner will know, even if he/she is a plastic surgeon him or herself if you have had labiaplasty surgery.Healing along the inner labia tissue is somewhat similar to the inside of the mouth, which rarely leaves noticable scars. My personal experience is that this surgery is well tolerated and healing is excellent when given adequate time.Make sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine what may be best for you.

Scars from labiaplasty heal very well.  I also roll the incision line to the inner edge of the labia in order to hide it even better.  You can see in before and after photos how natural labiaplasty.  In general, I would recommend going to a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in labiaplasty surgery.
