Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – What is tip rhinoplasty?

Tip rhinoplasty is desired by some patients. These patients generally require work only on the tip. They may have a nice width to the upper two thirds of the nose with a nice profile already. Usually patients will larger, bulbous or boxy nasal tips will benefit from tip work for more refinement. This is carried out well with an open rhinoplasty for many but not all. On occasion, a cartilage tip graft may be desirable.

Ask Doctor Grover – Is Labiaplasty the same as Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Labiaplasty refers to modifying or changing the labia (lips).  Labiaplasty may refer to modification of the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips).  It is more common for patients to request modification of the labia minora.  Vaginal rejuvenation usually refers to modifying the vagina or reducing the size or tightening the vaginal opening.

Ask Doctor Grover – How will I know if I need a labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty procedures have gained significant popularity over the past 5 years due to changes in fashion and grooming as well as due to further education and media exposure. With grooming trends limiting amount of genital hair, a woman’s long or asymmetric labia (or inner lips) are more apparent. Some women choose to undergo labiaplasty strictly due to cosmetic reasons. Others may have functional problems or pain with clothing or intercourse.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Waiting for Labiaplasty until after childbirth.

There is no medical reason that should stop you from having a labiaplasty performed further childbirth; however, you may wish to defer your surgery until afterwards, so that you do not feel that you need to have this done a second time.

However, since you had a C-section, there is a good possibility that you may have another C-section and then there is less chance of having significant changes following repeat pregnancy. Regarding your discomfort with intercourse, this may be improved with labiaplasty, but there can be other factors contributing to this.
