Natural Treatment for Low Sex Drive in Women

November 20, 2019/in Vaginal Rejuvenation /by admin

Natural Treatment for Low Sex Drive in Women –

At some point in almost everyone’s life they will experience a decreased libido, also known as a “low sex drive”. Lack of sexual interest or motivation can stem from numerous causes – some of which are medical, while others are the product of temporary lifestyle factors. But whatever the cause, the sensitive and private nature of a low sex drive causes many women to suffer in silence, without ever seeking help with the situation.

But at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Birmingham, MI we offer the most effective, all natural, non-invasive low sex drive treatment available on the market. In this article, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali outlines some of the most common causes of a low sex drive, and discusses the revolutionary new Viveve treatment we offer to rejuvenate your sex drive.

Common Causes of Low Sex Drive:

Lifestyle Causes of Low Sex Drive

For many women, a low sex drive is the result of high levels of stress. Many parents, for example, find that the stresses and responsibilities of child-rearing lead to both less time for and less interest in sex. Fortunately, a low sex drive caused by stress will typically be temporary, and can in some cases be managed by talking to a therapist as a means of alleviating stress and striking a better overall life balance. In doing so, the loss of time, energy, and interest responsible for their low sex drive may be restored.

Low Sex Drive Caused by Depression

For other women who are suffering from depression, every aspect of their lives -mental and physical- can fall victim to the effects of their condition. One’s libido is no exception to this, making depression one of the most common causes of a low sex drive. Fortunately, while depression is a devastating condition, various treatment options are available. Should one’s depression interfere with any aspect of their life whatsoever -including cause a low sex drive- they are encouraged to seek the help of a mental health care professional. Any of our patients who are suffering from depression are free to turn to Dr. Ali, who will gladly refer them to a therapist or psychiatrist.

Low Sex Drive Caused by Medication

While a low sex drive may sometimes be caused by depression, one somewhat ironic (if also unfair) reality is that some forms of depression treatment can also result in a decreased libido. Medications for depression of the SSRI class -which include Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft- come with the side effect of lowering one’s sex drive. However, while SSRI medications can cause a low sex drive, they only represent a fraction of all antidepressants available to patients. Wellbutrin and other non-SSRI antidepressants do not include a low sex drive as a side effect, so if a patient believes their low sex drive is the product of their medication, they should ask their psychiatrist about what alternatives are available to them.

And, SSRIs are not the only medication that can result in a low sex drive. Women taking birth control pills that contain progestin and estrogen also frequently experience a low sex drive. Anyone who thinks their low sex drive is the product of their birth control can talk to their gynecologist – who will typically be glad to discuss alternate methods of contraception. IUDs or low-hormone birth control pills are far less likely to result in a low sex drive.

Low Sex Drive Caused by Vaginal Conditions

During a woman’s life, her vagina is subject to the tolls of childbirth, aging, and hormonal changes (such as menopause), all of which can potentially lead to a low sex drive. Factors such as these can result in the vagina becoming lax, loose, or dry, which can make the feeling of penetrative sex less sensitive or even painful. Physical discomfort is one of the last things a person should have to worry about during sex, and women who experience it frequently find this leads to a loss of sexual interest or motivation.

Viveve Vaginal Rejuvenation for Low Sex Drive

The good news is that if vaginal and genital changes are the reason for a woman’s weakened libido, they now have the option of treating their low sex drive through Viveve Vaginal Rejuvenation at AMAE in Birmingham, MI. This innovative new procedure is fast, painless, minimally invasive, and comes with no downtime.

Treating Painful Sex After Menopause (Part I) –

Whenever the body experiences significant change to its production of hormones -such as those caused by menopause- a number of uncomfortable side effects may occur. Among the most frustrating examples is one faced by countless women in the Troy, MI area: experiencing painful sex after menopause.

More than 50% of all women report having experienced painful sex after menopause. This condition, called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), leaves many women feeling helpless. Sadly, may postmenopausal women feel as though they must simply accept painful sex after menopause as being simply a reality of getting older. Fortunately, thanks to recent breakthroughs in vaginal rejuvenation medicine, anyone suffering from GSM can visit our Troy, MI area medical spa to make painful sex after menopause a thing of the past!

In this two-part article, we will discuss some of the options available to Troy, MI area women suffering from painful sex after menopause, including those available at AMAE Med Spa.

Home Remedies for Painful Sex After Menopause

Perhaps one of the cruelest realities of menopause is that the symptoms of declining hormones do not, for the most part, subside on their own. Nonetheless, symptoms like painful sex after menopause (often the product of vaginal dryness) can be reduced by implementing a number of short-term treatments that can be performed within the comfort of one’s own Troy, MI area home.

Lubrication for Painful Sex After Menopause

After a Troy, MI area women undergoes childbirth, menopause, or another period of hormonal change, her vagina may no longer produce a sufficient level of lubrication. This is one of the main causes of painful sex after menopause or other hormonal changes, and as a result, has led to the creation of numerous commercial lubricants available for purchase. For a more natural alternative to such products, Troy, MI area women may consider using organic coconut oil.

Relaxation for Painful Sex After Menopause

The vagina is capable of regulating its own level of moisture based upon hormone spikes, such as those that occur during sexual arousal. If a women is experiencing painful sex after menopause, she should discuss it openly with her partner. This allows her to communicate the best way for her to experience arousal. By relaxing into the moment of intimacy, as well as by engaging in comprehensive foreplay, many women find they are able to experience a sufficient enough increase in moisture to avoid sexual pain or discomfort.

Painful Sex After Menopause: Things to Avoid

One of the body’s most remarkable organs, the vagina is capable of self-cleaning. And most methods used to clean the rest of one’s body – including soaps and body washes – can worsen the effect of painful sex after menopause. This is especially true of scented soaps, bath bombs, bubble baths, and lotions. The dryness that leads to painful sex after menopause can even be caused by certain douches, and should be avoided by those afflicted. Instead, Troy, MI area women should instead simply rely on their vagina’s ability to clean itself, and use only hypoallergenic products meant for sensitive skin while experiencing painful sex after menopause.

Treating Painful Sex After Menopause (Part 2) –

Not only a source of physical discomfort, painful sex after menopause can also cause great mental and emotional distress. For many Troy, MI area women, their anxiety and embarrassment caused by painful sex after menopause rivals the physical discomfort of their vaginal dryness.

Do I Need Dermal Fillers or a Facelift?

November 14, 2019/in Cosmetic Surgery, Face Lift /by admin

Do I Need Dermal Fillers or a Facelift?

Thanks to their ability to provide significant, non-surgical facial rejuvenation, dermal fillers have experienced a huge increase in popularity in recent years. But while dermal fillers do help avoid the downtime faced by patients of facelift surgery, the results of dermal fillers are less dramatic. So the efficacy of dermal fillers can be limited for some patients, particularly as an option for older individuals. For such these patients, the best path to facial rejuvenation may be facelift surgery – which is capable of reversing the effects of aging such as deep wrinkles or skin that has significantly lost elasticity.

So how exactly does one decide between a facelift and dermal fillers? In this article, Troy, MI area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali explains who can benefit from dermal fillers and who is a better candidate for a facelift.

Dermal Fillers as a Facelift Alternative

For treating signs of the aging process on the minor-to-moderate end of the spectrum, dermal fillers can often be a better option than a facelift. At AMAE in the Troy, MI area, we provide a wide selection of dermal fillers, as well as other injectable treatments such as Botox.

While facelift surgery was once the only way of medically addressing facial issues relating to age, men and women may now choose from a several types of dermal fillers to correct the signs of aging. Fillers like Volbella and Juvéderm are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), and can be used to instantly add volume to the lips or to smooth out wrinkles. Rather than undergoing facelift surgery, Troy, MI area patients may instead add volume to their face, cheeks or temples with fillers like Voluma.

But while a facelift provides lasting facial rejuvenation results that can last a decade, dermal fillers are significantly less long-lasting. On average, dermal fillers will last from 3 months to a year – with a few of the more durable fillers lasting up to 18 months or 2 years. However, unlike facelift surgery, getting dermal fillers is a relatively painless procedure with no downtime – and only some minor swelling or bruising. Dermal filler patients are able to return to their normal routine as soon as their appointment is complete!

Many of our patients visit our Troy, MI area office for dermal fillers on their lunch break and return to work as soon as they are finished. The same, obviously, cannot be said of facelift surgery patients.

What A Facelift Can Do That Fillers Cannot

Despite their many advantages, dermal fillers also come with one major, unavoidable downside: results can only be maintained by repeatedly undergoing additional injections. And dermal fillers are incapable of eliminating deeper folds and wrinkles, vertical neck bands caused by loose skin, severely etched lines (often located above the upper lip), or the formation of jowls. Instead, patients who wish to correct these more advanced signs of aging may instead want to consider facelift surgery.

The Facelift Procedure

After making several very fine incisions (hidden around the patient’s hairline, past the ears, and under their chin), board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali then manually works to separate the skin from the underlying muscles of the face. Once excess fat has been removed and the muscles have undergone any necessary tightening, the skin will then be pulled back to the line of the initial incision, and stitched back in place.

While numerous different types of facelift procedures are available, almost every technique used to perform facelift surgery is capable of dramatically reducing symptoms of aging. Through facelift surgery, men and women in the Troy, MI area are capable of looking many years younger than their actual age.

And while facelift surgery does require our Troy, MI area patients to spend several days resting and recovering, the long-lasting results are well worth the downtime. By maintaining strong bone structure and a consistent body weight, the effects of a facelift can last as long as a full decade. A far cry from the 4 – 18 months of dermal fillers.

Furthermore, Troy, MI area patients many even find that, in the long run, facelift surgery is much more cost effective than ongoing dermal fillers. While a single dermal filler treatment obviously costs less than a facelift, patients must remember that dermal fillers must be maintained through a continuous series of injections. So, while the dollar amount spent on their treatment plan will vary from person to person, the cost of a facelift can actually be cheaper than the total cumulative cost of touching up one’s dermal fillers every few months.

Dermal Fillers & Facelifts – Troy, MI Area

Both facelift surgery and dermal fillers each offer their own unique advantages. While some Troy, MI area patients will best meet their aesthetic goals through dermal fillers, others will benefit more greatly from a facelift.

In order to determine whether you are more ideally suited for dermal fillers or facelift surgery, schedule a consultation at AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa today, where board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali will help decide which procedure is right for you.

Top 3 Treatments for Gynecomastia

November 8, 2019/in Male Breast Reduction /by admin

The 3 Best Treatments for Gynecomastia–

Breast reduction procedures are normally associated with women. However, a condition known as gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, affects men in surprisingly large numbers. Estimates indicate that more than 50% of men will experience some form of gynecomastia in their lifetime. In fact, some studies put the number considerably higher, suggesting that as many as 65 % of middle aged to elderly men may be affected by “man boobs”.

This condition can be the cause of great embarrassment for many men – since neither diet nor exercise are effective at reducing male breasts in most case. But the good news is that treatment for male breast enlargement now is available in many forms, including state-of-the-art non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment. Dr. Ali, board certified Oakland County plastic surgeon, specializes in the various treatments available to help men affected by gynecomastia live their lives with confidence.

In this article Dr. Ali discusses the three best treatments for reducing male breasts – surgery, liposuction and non-invasive CoolSculpting – all of which are available in our Oakland County surgical office and med spa.

Causes of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts, which can produce a lopsided effect. In teens, it is generally hormonal in nature, and likely will diminish with time as the hormone levels balance. However, if the condition persists, it may be a sign that something else is the cause, and may require medical intervention in the form of gynecomastia treatments.

Cancer is rarely the cause of male breast enlargement. However, it’s always a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor to rule out cancer, or for that matter, any other underlying health problems. Blood tests can generally determine if anomalies exist that indicate a need for medical intervention. The good news is that most common causes of gynecomastia are not serious or life threatening, and can be addressed cosmetically.

The actual underlying cause of gynecomastia can be the result of a variety of factors. Some of the more common causes are: changes in hormone levels; some medications, including some that are prescribed for heartburn, anxiety, some heart medications, and antibiotics; heavy alcohol consumption; the use of recreational drugs; some herbal products, such as tea tree and lavender; an overactive thyroid; kidney disease; and rapid or excessive weight gain.

Obviously, some of the causes of gynecomastia can be serious, so it is important for you to first make an appointment with your primary physician to rule out the need for medical intervention before setting out on a treatment program of any kind.

Treatments for Gynecomastia

After medical issues have been addressed or ruled out, we offer several excellent options to treat gynecomastia at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa in Oakland County.

Mammoplasty (Breast Reduction) Surgery for Gynecomastia

The most common cause of gynecomastia is a hormonal imbalance, which can be treated with hormone therapy. It may require breast reduction mammoplasty surgery to reduce or remove the breast glandular tissue. In this procedure, Dr. Ali makes an incision in the skin and removes excess fat. Results are immediate and positive. Some side effects include some minimal scarring, and the recuperation and healing process requires some downtime. It is also important to note that most insurance companies will not cover mammoplasty surgery.

Liposuction for Gynecomastia

If a less invasive solution is desired, liposuction may be something to consider. Liposuction is generally safe and minimally invasive. Either a local anesthesia with sedation or a general anesthesia can be used. Two incisions are made, and are generally small, located on either side of the chest.

During liposuction in our Oakland County office, excess fat is surgically removed through a narrow surgical “straw” called a cannula. The cannula is attached to a liposuction machine and is moved around underneath the skin into the fat layer to remove the unwanted fatty deposits. As opposed to mammoplasty surgery, liposuction results in less bruising and bleeding, and the recovery is much faster.

The bruising and swelling from liposuction will be less than with mammoplasty surgery. In some cases there will be some swelling, soreness and occasional numbness. However, these symptoms should subside within a week or so.

CoolSculpting for Gynecomastia

CoolSculpting is not effective for “true” or “hormonal” gynecomastia. However, if your gynecomastia is caused by weight gain or certain other factors, CoolSculpting in our Oakland County medical spa may be very effective in reducing male breast fat deposits. In fact, CoolSculpting may be the best non-surgical treatment option for banishing male breast fat.

CoolSculpting involves a special machine that freezes the fatty areas of the breast. Over the next 2 to 3 months, these fat cells are eliminated naturally by the body, and the size of the breasts reduces permanently and dramatically. There are virtually no side effects, discomfort is minimal, and most men go back to work right after their CoolSculpting procedure is completed.

Gynecomastia Treatment Oakland County

Dr. Ali offers private and discreet consultations, and can assist you in determining the cause of your gynecomastia. Then, he will clearly explain your treatment options – so you can choose the male breast reduction procedure that is right for you.

If you live in the greater Oakland County area, give Dr. Ali a call at the AMAE Med Spa to set up an appointment.

Get a “Designer Vagina” at AMAE in Birmingham, MI

October 28, 2019/in Vaginal Rejuvenation /by admin

Get a “Designer Vagina” at AMAE in Birmingham, MI (Part 1)

Recently, a cosmetic trend known as the “designer vagina” procedure has begun to be discussed by A-listers and social media influencers. Despite the sensitive nature of the subject, many celebrities have spoken candidly about having undergone designer vagina procedures.

But the designer vagina isn’t only for the Hollywood Elite. At AMAE Plastic Surgery, we offer our Birmingham, MI patients the same treatment their favorite celebrities have turned to in order to look and feel their best.

In this two part article, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali explains the new “designer vagina” trend – and discusses procedures that are available to give women a more attractive and youthful labia and vagina at AMAE in Birmingham, MI.

What is a “Designer Vagina”?

In order to feel completely confident in one’s body, one must be comfortable in their own skin whether or not they are clothed. Most people have at least one “trouble spot” -such as the abdomen or thighs- that make this difficult. But for some, tackling those insecurities isn’t as simple as losing a few pounds. When a woman’s vagina or labia become her “trouble spot,” complete body confidence can feel like a complete impossibility. That is precisely why designer vagina procedures exist.

The effects of the aging process can be detrimental to a person’s skin, regardless of where on the body it is located. The labia and vagina are no exception, and are subject to the same laxity, looseness, sagginess, and wrinkles that can occur on a person’s face, or anywhere else. And for some women, these issues are only made worse by pregnancy and childbirth. But through a designer vagina treatment plan curated specially to meet their individual needs, Birmingham, MI women are able to stop the aging process dead in its tracks, and even set the clock back several years.

At AMAE Plastic Surgery, board certified Birmingham, MI plastic surgeon Dr. Ali offers a number of procedures to women dissatisfied with their bikini area. By tightening, shrinking, and generally improving the appearance of their “trouble spot,” patients are left with the tighter, youthful results characteristic of the infamous designer vagina.

Designer Vagina: Labiaplasty

Since labiaplasty was recently named the fastest-growing type of cosmetic surgery in the world, it comes as no surprise that, for many Birmingham, MI women, the journey to their designer vagina begins with the procedure.

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure during which the inner folds of skin on either side of the vagina are reduced. Women with loose, wrinkled, or unusually large labia often come to us for a reprieve of the embarrassment they experience during sex. But the issues faced by such women are far from simply being cosmetic. Women with a large or protruding labia minor often suffer from pain during sex, as well as discomfort when engaged in physical activity or when wearing tight clothing. For such women, labiaplasty is an essential element of their designer vagina package.

With labiaplasty, Birmingham, MI women are afforded the designer vagina results they’re looking for with minimal downtime. And when performed alongside a hood surgery to expose the clitoris, patients are able to enjoy better orgasms and overall improvement in sexual sensation.

Designer Vagina: Vaginal Rejuvenation

At AMAE Plastic Surgery in the Troy, MI area we also offer Viveve radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation as part of the designer vagina process. Viveve is a safe and comfortable alternative to vaginoplasty for patients who do not wish to undergo surgery. Using incredible radiofrequency technology, Viveve is able to tighten and rejuvenate the vagina non-surgically. Designer vagina patients who chose Viveve experience incredible vaginal rejuvenation results without anesthetic, downtime, or difficult recovery period.

Our Birmingham, MI patients chose Viveve as part of their designer vagina treatment plan for its unprecedented ability to treat vaginal dryness, looseness, and laxity, all of which improve sexual sensation.

Additionally, as an added bonus, the Viveve vaginal rejuvenation procedure can also help treat urinary incontinence. To truly benefit from everything a designer vagina package can offer, our Birmingham, MI patients are encouraged to consider Viveve.

Designer Vagina: Pubic Fat Loss

In addition to Viveve vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty, many of our designer vagina treatment plans also include permanent pubic fat loss. Using either CoolSculpting or liposuction, unwanted pubis fat can become a thing of the past. For many of our Birmingham, MI designer vagina patients, this is a major goal.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, nonsurgical way to remove stubborn pockets of fat from virtually any “trouble spot” on the body – including the area above the pubic bone. Thanks to the pain-free nature of the procedure, CoolSculpting remains a popular among our designer vagina patients.

Nonetheless, liposuction can be an equally satisfactory element of anyone’s designer vagina package. To ensure maximum comfort, our liposuction patients are given local anesthetic prior to treatment, which can safely be performed in the comfort of our Birmingham, MI office.

Whichever method our designer vagina patients choose, the results of both CoolSculpting and liposuction are completely permanent. Once the fat cells have been removed from the treatment area, it is impossible for them to return. This means that the confidence afforded to our designer vagina patients can literally last a lifetime.

Designer Vagina: IPL Pubic Hair Removal

When included as part of a designer vagina package, our IPL laser hair removal treatment offers a permanent pubic hair removal alternative to shaving and waxing.

Everything You Were Afraid to Ask About Labiaplasty

October 28, 2019/in Labiaplasty /by admin

Everything You Were Afraid to Ask About Labiaplasty –

While the vagina is easily one of the most durable organs in the human body, factors like childbirth and natural aging can leave many women feeling less confident in their pubic area’s appearance. Such a lack in confidence is often compounded among women who -due to hereditary factors- simply have labia that are enlarged, distended, or asymmetrical. But fortunately, thanks to labiaplasty, women in the Oakland County area can regain that sense of confidence.

Any conversation about one’s sex organs is can be potentially difficult or embarrassing. And while now more than ever, women are encouraged to confidently take control of their own bodies, discussing the actual aging process of the vagina can still feel difficult or embarrassing. For this reason, many women many have no idea how to go about getting the right kind of treatment, despite having identified a problem with their vagina. But at AMAE Plastic Surgery in Oakland County, we are happy to provide answers to any such questions. And in many cases, the solution the patient is looking for is labiaplasty.

At our Oakland County practice, Labiaplasty is quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic procedures we perform. In this article, we will discuss why labiaplasty is one of the Top 5 most common plastic surgeries performed in the country, as well as how to tell if labiaplasty is right for you.

Why Consider Labiaplasty Surgery?

Oakland County women consider labiaplasty for a variety of reasons, but all boil down to some form of dissatisfaction with their vagina. There are two sections of the vagina, respectively called the labia minora and the labia majora. The labia majora is refers to the fatty area on the outside of the labia minora.

Of the two, the most sensitive section is the labia minora. Problems of the labia minora often cause a stretching or pulling sensation, which can be both painful and a source of embarrassment while wearing bathing suits or other articles of clothing. An uneven “lip-like” area of the labia minora can potentially protrude out of clothing, and can cause exercise and other types of physical activity to be painful. Fortunately, Oakland County women afflicted by problems of the labia minora can get the relief they deserve through labiaplasty.

Conversely, problems of the labia majora include an excessively puffy appearance (often caused by weight gain), as well as sunken and/ore asymmetrical dimples of the skin caused by loss of tissue. While such issues are normal parts of the aging process, as well as perfectly healthy results of heredity, they generally occur as a result of the stress faced by the vagina during pregnancy and childbirth. Nonetheless, issues such as these can be reversed through labiaplasty.

While it is primarily regarded as a cosmetic procedure, the benefits of labiaplasty extend beyond the cosmetic. Labiaplasty can lead to improved sexual sensation, and can also put an end to vaginal pain experienced during intercourse or athletics.

The Labiaplasty Surgery Procedure

At AMAE Plastic Surgery in Oakland County, our labiaplasty patients are given incredible results with very little downtime. Labiaplasty can be performed either under general anesthesia local anesthesia. There are two methods through which labiaplasty can be performed, but at AMAE Plastic Surgery in Oakland County, MI, Dr. Ali generally prefers one over the other.

Most GYN surgeons perform labiaplasty using what is known as the trim method. This involves making a linear incision in the labia minora two remove excess skin. The end result is a more symmetrical labia minora. While commonly performed, the trim method of labiaplasty can potentially alter the patient’s sensation in the treatment area, and can also result in the vagina’s natural appearance to be distorted. For these reasons, plastic surgeons such as Dr. Ali prefer the second method.

Called the posterior wedge method of labiaplasty, this procedure makes a V-cut incision in the posterior portion of the labia, an area that has little sensation. The wedge method of labiaplasty puts patients at much less of a risk for loss of sexual sensation, and as a result is the preferred method of labiaplasty performed by board certified Oakland County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali.

Recovery from Labiaplasty Surgery

Since the skin on a person’s sexual organs heal incredibly rapidly, our Oakland County area labiaplasty patients enjoy an incredibly rapid recovery time. Depending on the specifics of their individual post-op instructions, labiaplasty patients can usually expect to resume normal activities like driving and showering just a few short days after their procedure.

While patients should refrain from bicycling and other exercise for at least a few weeks after labiaplasty, most women are about to return to work an average of three to four days following treatment.

While recovering from labiaplasty, it is important for patients to abstain from sexual activity for at least six weeks. Once the swelling has gone down and they have received the “all-clear” from board certified Oakland County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, labiaplasty patients may resume sexual activity.

Labiaplasty FAQs (Part 1)

Women who wish to reduce the length of the inner folds of skin on either side of the vagina may wish to consider labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is the most rapidly-growing type of cosmetic surgery in the world, and is among the procedures most commonly requested by our Detroit Area patients.

In this three-part article Macomb County area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali answers patients’ most frequently asked questions about this intimate and life changing surgery.

Why do women get labiaplasty?

If a woman has a large, loose, or wrinkled labia, he bikini area can be a source of great embarrassment, and may be enough to significantly undermine her sexual confidence. But while labiaplasty is technically considered a cosmetic procedure, many of our Detroit Area patients turn to labiaplasty to solve more than just aesthetic concerns. A large and/or protruding labia minor can cause major discomfort when wearing tight clothing, while exercising, and of course, during sex.

Who is a good candidate for labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty candidates often experience feelings of self-consciousness during moments of intimacy. Our Detroit Area labiaplasty patients also often seek relief from discomfort to their genitalia during physical activity. Women whose labia is easily pinched or chafed also benefit from the procedure, as may women for whom intercourse is painful. Women for whom it is uncomfortable to wear tight-fitting clothing (such as yoga pants) may also find relief through labiaplasty, as will women whose labia protrudes through the sides of underwear/bathing suits.

Women who experience one or more of the above symptoms are encouraged to discuss them with board certified Detroit Area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali during their labiaplasty consultation.

How do patients prepare for labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty patients may be asked to undergo a number of tests prior to their procedure (such as a pregnancy test).

For at least a few weeks before their surgery, labiaplasty patients must refrain from smoking, and must also refrain from taking blood-thinning drugs (such as aspirin) and anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen).

What happens during labiaplasty?

During labiaplasty, labial tissue is surgically removed. Through cosmetic changes to the treatment area, labiaplasty patients are left with a smaller, more natural-looking labia.

Depending on the extent of the procedure, most cases of labiaplasty take approximately one to two hours to complete, and are performed on an outpatient basis.

Labiaplasty is performed using small incisions, which are closed up with tiny, absorbable sutures. For these reasons, our Detroit Area labiaplasty patients are left with practically no scarring.

What are the different techniques used to perform labiaplasty?

While most GYN surgeons perform labiaplasty using a technique known as the Trim Method. This technique involves removing the inner labia’s outer edge in order to create an even appearance between the inner and outer labia. While many instances of labiaplasty are performed using the Trim Method every year, most plastic surgeons (including board certified Detroit Area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali) favor a different, safer method: The Wedge Technique.

The wedge technique is a newer alternative to trim labiaplasty and is used by Dr. Ali whenever medically possible. This method involves removing a V-shaped “wedge” from either side of the labia, with its remaining edges then being sutured together.

Labiaplasty performed with the Wedge Technique allows for smoother transitions at the clitoris, which in turn is less likely to impact sexual sensation.

At AMAE Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ali will gladly discuss all options available to his every Detroit Area labiaplasty patient, and will then assemble a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan accordingly.

Does labiaplasty require anesthetic?

Labiaplasty can be performed using either local anesthesia or with general anesthesia.

Does what effect does labiaplasty have on childbirth?

The process of childbirth is not influenced by labiaplasty whatsoever.

Labiaplasty also has no negative effect on conception. Our Detroit Area labiaplasty patients are free to attempt getting pregnant as soon as they can safely resume sexual intercourse.

How does labiaplasty affect sexual sensation?

When performed by expert, board certified Detroit Area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, labiaplasty should neither negatively impact sexual sensation, nor should it result in scarring of the clitoris.

On the contrary, many of our Detroit Area labiaplasty patients report experiencing enhanced sexual sensation after their procedure.
