What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora and, in some cases, the labia majora. Many women seek this procedure to relieve discomfort during physical activity, address irritation from clothing, or improve personal confidence. It is one of the more commonly requested body procedures among women today, and interest continues to grow across Vermont and northern New England.
At Mountain Lake Plastic Surgery, Dr. Susan MacLennan approaches labiaplasty with surgical precision and a focus on preserving natural anatomy and normal function. She completed her residency at the University of Cincinnati and a fellowship in cosmetic surgery in Miami, giving her a strong foundation in both reconstructive and aesthetic techniques. Her education and training inform every procedure she performs in Colchester, VT.
Results from labiaplasty may include reduced discomfort, improved symmetry, and greater ease during everyday activities. Individual results vary, and Dr. MacLennan will discuss realistic expectations with you during your consultation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for This Procedure?
Many patients who pursue labiaplasty share similar concerns: chronic irritation, difficulty with physical activities like biking and yoga, self-consciousness, or asymmetry that causes discomfort. Good candidates are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have personal reasons for seeking this type of plastic surgery.
We welcome a wide range of patients to Mountain Lake Plastic Surgery, including:
- Women experiencing physical discomfort or irritation during daily activities or exercise
- Patients who have noticed changes following childbirth or aging
- Individuals with aesthetic concerns affecting their personal confidence
- Teenagers who, with parental guidance and appropriate medical evaluation, may be candidates based on documented functional concerns

What to Expect During Your Consultation, Procedure, and Recovery
Your Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough, private consultation at our Colchester or White River Junction offices. Dr. Susan MacLennan will take time to understand your concerns, review your medical history, and explain all available options. She is dedicated to patient education and believes that informed patients have better outcomes and feel more confident throughout the healing process.
The Procedure
Labiaplasty is typically performed as an office procedure using local anesthesia. General anesthesia can also be offered, depending on your individual situation. The technique Dr. MacLennan recommends will depend on your anatomy and goals, and she has extensive experience with both “wedge” and “trim” techniques. Most procedures take one to two hours. As with any surgical procedure, risks exist and will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation.
Recovery and Healing
Most patients return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, though individual recovery varies. Physical activity, including hiking, skiing, and other exercise, is typically restricted for four.. Temporary swelling and discomfort are normal parts of the healing process, and Dr. MacLennan’s team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery. Final results typically develop over several weeks as swelling resolves.
