A Thoughtful Approach to Intimate Care

Plastic surgery is a deeply personal experience, and as one of the only female plastic surgeons in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, Dr. Stark understands how vulnerable a labiaplasty can feel. She works with intention and discretion to ensure a calm, empowering experience for all patients. Her work is rooted in a dedication to and passion for female health and wellness.

What Is a Labiaplasty? 

A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the labia to reduce physical discomfort or restore confidence in the appearance of your intimate area. Women elect to undergo a labiaplasty in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village with both medical and cosmetic goals, including the following:

  • Reduce the size of the labia minora to relieve discomfort or irritation
  • Improve symmetry of the labia
  • Minimize discomfort during exercise or intimacy
  • Reduce irritation from clothing or swimwear
  • Improve confidence in the appearance of the labia

With Dr. Stark, the goal is not uniformity, but balance, symmetry, and results that feel authentic to your anatomy.

A Comfortable, In-Office Procedure

Labiaplasty is commonly performed in-office using local anesthesia with oral sedation, allowing you to remain comfortable without the need for general anesthesia.

The procedure is typically completed in about one hour in a private, fully equipped surgical suite. Because it is a same-day procedure, you will return home shortly after surgery to begin your recovery in the comfort of your own space.

This approach offers a safe, efficient, and discreet experience while minimizing downtime.

What Labiaplasty Can Address

Labiaplasty can improve both physical discomfort and aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Enlarged or elongated labia minora
  • Labial asymmetry
  • Discomfort during physical activity
  • Irritation with tight clothing or swimwear
  • Concerns about appearance

The goal is to create natural, balanced contours while preserving both sensation and function.

Labiaplasty Techniques

Dr. Stark utilizes advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural-looking, balanced results. The most appropriate approach depends on your anatomy and goals.

  • Trim Technique: This method removes excess tissue along the outer edge of the labia minora to create a smoother contour. It may be recommended for patients who want to reduce darker or thickened edges while achieving a refined shape.
  • Wedge Technique: This approach removes a small wedge-shaped portion of tissue from the center of the labia while preserving the natural edge. It allows for a reduction in size while maintaining the natural color and contour of the tissue.

During your consultation, Dr. Stark will determine which technique is best suited to your anatomy and desired outcome.

Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!

“Dr Stark and her medical team are amazing. Went in to have an Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and the care is excellent. Currently at 9 weeks post surgery, swollen a lot less, and loving my results so far. Going into surgery, I was nervous about the after-pain because I heard several horror stories of how painful it is. Surprisingly, my pain level was mild ( 1-10 I was at 2). My experience exceeded my expectations from the consultation, to surgery, to post op. Dr Stark, Sabrina Esquivel, and the whole team have been very caring and attentive, and delivered an A+  service. Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!”

- A.Q.

I cannot thank Dr. Stark enough.

“Dr. Stark is not only a meticulous professional and at the top of her field, but she and her team are one of the warmest and most engaged treatment teams I have ever met. Dr. Stark and Sabrina walked me through every moment of the procedure and recovery, and they were attentive and responsive. Her nurses in recovery were incredibly kind and thorough. Dr. Stark’s sense of humor mixed with her attention to detail makes her truly exceptional, and she makes you feel understood. The results of my mini abdominoplasty with liposuction were beyond anything I would have imagined. I cannot thank Dr. Stark and the Schwartz Institute enough.”

- C.B.

Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.

“Dr. Stark is outstanding! She is an artist and a perfectionist. For years, I questioned if my prophylactic mastectomy was worth it because I didn’t love the way I looked. I booked a consultation with Dr. Stark to correct an encapsulated breast implant. She was thorough and made me feel comfortable. The morning of my procedure, as she was marking me, I knew I was not going to regret the results I would be waking up to. I have never felt so confident and happy with my body as she has made me feel. From her pre-op routine and post op routine that helps your body heal quickly without any complications, to her amazing skill of injecting with Botox and Filler, Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.”

I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future...

“I highly recommend Dr. Stark! I had liposuction and excision of axillary breast tissue performed by Dr. Stark in October 2023. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explains every step in a clear, comforting manner. She does not push procedures and, in fact, recommended I hold off on several additions to my procedure that I was interested in. I had no problems with my healing and am incredibly pleased with the results so far. The nursing and administrative staff are also top-notch. They are all so friendly and responsive, and I never felt awkward about any part of the process. I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future if I ever want to have anything else done.”

“I am beyond grateful to Dr. Stark for completely transforming my life. The results are absolutely stunning.

Her exceptional professionalism, kindness, and unwavering artistry make her the perfect doctor for me.

I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been...

“I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been through my surgical journey. I had two babies back to back and couldn’t get my body back to a place of feeling like me again. I met with her, and I knew right then and there that her vision was my vision. She saw exactly what I was saying and made me feel so comfortable making the decision to move forward with a Mommy Makeover procedure in her surgery center. She recommended a Breast Implant with a Lift, some Liposuction, and Upper and Lower Eyelids. She is a true artist. I am two weeks post-op and this experience is life-changing. I couldn’t be happier with how everything looks. I finally feel confident again, and just in time for summer. I one hundred percent recommend her to anyone who is looking to inquire about cosmetic surgery. You will not be disappointed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Stark!!!”

- D.M.

Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive...

“Dr. Stark performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and some lipo to my bra line and flanks. To say my expectations were met is an understatement!! I am so thrilled with my results. After four children, I definitely noticed an overall lack of confidence in my body, and that confidence has been restored! Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive throughout the entire process. I have no regrets whatsoever and would highly recommend Dr. Stark for beautiful results.”

- T.M.

I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!

“Dr. Stark performed an upper blepharoplasty for me, and I'm thrilled with the results!! It was a simple (virtually painless) procedure, and the recovery time was minor. Dr. Stark is brilliant, and she's a true artist. Not to mention she's so lovely along with her staff. I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!”

Labiaplasty Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for a labiaplasty?

Ideal labiaplasty candidates are healthy individuals experiencing discomfort, irritation, or aesthetic concerns related to their intimate area.

Will a labiaplasty affect sensation in the intimate area?

Dr. Stark plans labiaplasties carefully to preserve as much sensation as possible. Temporary sensitivity changes may occur during the first weeks of your recovery, but this should return as you heal.

Can a labiaplasty be performed after childbirth?

Yes. Many women wait to undergo a labiaplasty until they are done having children. Labial tissues should fully heal, and hormonal changes should stabilize after the postpartum period before beginning the labiaplasty process.

Will I need anesthesia for a labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is often performed using local anesthesia with oral sedation, allowing for a comfortable, in-office experience without general anesthesia. Dr. Stark will review all options with you to determine the best approach for your procedure.

How long do labiaplasty results last?

Labiaplasty results can last many years, but can be affected by pregnancy and childbirth. Dr. Stark designs her results to age gracefully alongside you.
