Labiaplasty in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora, which are the inner vaginal lips. Some women naturally have larger or asymmetrical labia, while others might notice changes after childbirth or with aging.
Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in labiaplasty surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.
What to Expect During Surgery:
Before surgery, you will have an in depth consultation with Dr. MacArthur to discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. All your questions will be answered and you will get a digital preview of what your results may look like after surgery.
The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia but can also be done under general anesthesia based on the patient's and surgeon's preference.
The excess tissue is trimmed away, and the remaining edges are sutured together.
During surgery, Dr. MacArthur implements modern labiaplasty surgery techniques for the most natural results.
How to Prepare for Surgery:
You will discuss your aesthetic goals in detail and Dr. MacArthur will answer all of your questions during your initial consultation.
Avoid medications or supplements that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin, for about a week before surgery.
If you're a smoker, you'll be asked to stop smoking well before surgery, as it can delay healing.
Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and assist you for the first day.
What to Expect After Surgery:
You might experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for approximately 1 week. Medication prescribed by Dr. MacArthur can help manage these symptoms.
Most patients can return to work within a few days but should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks.
Sexual activity and tampon use should be avoided for about six weeks.
Most people can return to work or normal activities within a week or two. However, strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided for at least a few weeks.
The results of a labiaplasty are long lasting. However, nothing can stop the natural aging process. Dr. MacArthur will provide you with specific post operative care instructions to help maintain the youthful appearance and improved comfort achieved by surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Labiaplasty
While labiaplasty can enhance the appearance and comfort of the labial region, it's essential to have realistic expectations. Open communication with the surgeon about anticipated results is crucial. Every woman's anatomy is unique, and while the procedure can significantly improve aesthetics and function, aiming for "perfection" is not realistic. Every individual's body responds differently to surgery; factors like age, genetics, and lifestyle play a role in the final outcome.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers.
Will it affect sexual sensations?
When performed correctly, labiaplasty shouldn't impact sexual sensations.
How long do the results last?
The results are generally permanent. However, factors like aging or childbirth might lead to changes over time.
What are the most popular procedures performed with labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty can be combined with other procedures like vaginoplasty (tightening of the vaginal canal) or clitoral hood reduction for comprehensive rejuvenation. Some patients also opt for cosmetic procedures, like liposuction or a tummy tuck, during the same surgical session.
