Whether you are concerned about the appearance of the vaginal tissue through clothing items or during sexual activities, labiaplasty can enhance the appearance to improve self-confidence across the board.

How much does a labiaplasty cost?

The average cost of a labiaplasty ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. However, it’s important to consider the factors that contribute to this wide range in pricing. For starters, some surgeons will charge more for a labiaplasty due to their experience or specialization with vaginal rejuvenation techniques. Furthermore, the cost of anesthesia and other fees involved with surgery can vary by location. With the variability in cost, it’s important to plan out your budget for labiaplasty and consider financing and payment options that might be available to you.

Finally, the recovery period after a labiaplasty involves very little pain and progresses quickly, so there’s very little interruption to your usual routine.

Does labiaplasty make you tighter?

While a labiaplasty produces many significant benefits, it does not make the vagina tighter. Labiaplasty surgery only addresses the labia minora, which are external vaginal tissue. In order to make the vagina tighter, rejuvenation techniques will need to be performed on the tissue inside the vagina.
