MTF Labiaplasty

Introduction to MTF Labiaplasty

MTF labiaplasty is a procedure that creates authentic-looking labia, helping transfeminine individuals feel more at ease in their bodies and experience greater congruence between their inner and outer selves. Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher is a double-board-certified, experienced aesthetic expert affiliated with the Aesthetic Society. She delivers a personalized approach and exemplary outcomes, optimizing your quality of life.

What Is MTF Labiaplasty?

Every attempt is made at the original bottom surgery to give a pleasing, natural appearance. However, some things may need to be addressed at a later surgery. Labiaplasty is a term used to describe any modification a patient may need to improve the appearance of the labia. The most common procedure is to make the labia majora meet in the midline at the front. This can’t be done at the first surgery due to the blood supply to the vagina. Therefore, labiaplasty is not a revision but a planned stage in the bottom surgery process. Dr Gallagher, however, does offer labiaplasty to patients who have undergone bottom surgery elsewhere.

Patients are encouraged to wait nine to twelve months after bottom surgery before undergoing labiaplasty. This allows everything to heal and is the safest route. Not all patients want or need this surgery, but it can be used to enhance appearance and remove annoying scars or lumps.

Recovery from this surgery largely depends on the extent of the procedure. In some cases, the patient may not even have to go to sleep. Typically, it is an outpatient procedure, allowing for a few days off work.

Performed with nuance, skill, and artistry by Dr. Gallagher in Miami, MTF labiaplasty provides the following compelling benefits:

  • Creates a more aesthetically pleasing appearance
  • Reduces gender dysphoria
  • Enhances confidence and quality of life 
  • Lasting, natural-looking results

MTF labiaplasty is recommended for those who would like to enhance the shape, symmetry, size, or definition of the labia minora and labia majora. It is part of a staged approach to creating a more feminine physique for transgender patients. Post-vaginoplasty, MTF labiaplasty can refine the appearance and function of the vulva. Dr. Gallagher will conduct a thorough consultation process to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and effectively, meeting your goals.

What’s the First Step?

Your MTF Labiaplasty Journey with Dr. Gallagher

To get started, you will meet with Dr. Gallagher and her team of aesthetic experts either in Miami or virtually for an initial consultation. The doctor will complete an in-depth medical assessment. She will discuss your goals, answer your questions, and review all the details of the procedure, including the techniques she plans to use, the risks, costs, downtime, results, and more. Once we book your surgery date, you will need to follow a few simple guidelines to prepare. You may be asked to undergo supplemental medical testing and discontinue certain medications if they pose a risk to your safety. Additionally, you will need to schedule a responsible adult to drive you home after surgery.

What to Expect on the Day of MTF Labiaplasty Surgery

On the day of your procedure in Miami, you will receive general anesthesia to ensure you rest deeply while Dr. Gallagher completes your procedure, free from pain and anxiety. The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours, and you can go home the same day. Dr. Gallagher may use skin grafts to construct the labial lips, firming, reshaping, or refining the tissue to suit your unique anatomy and goals.

    I had an amazing experience with Dr.Gallagher and her team, the whole experience from the procedure (top surgery) to the post-op care has been fantastic. Dr.Gallagher was able to address any concerns I had with my chest before the procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and then the attentiveness post-op is all the better.

    Thank you so much Dr. Gallagher for your amazing work! I appreciated the great support from your team at the surgical centre and your office. Everyone was so wonderful! I am extremely happy with my results and had a very positive experience. I had followed Dr. Gallagher for several years on Instagram prior to my surgery, and learned so much from her detailed explanations about various aspects of the surgical procedures, what to expect on the day, recovery, etc. I had complete trust, felt safe, felt listened to. I also appreciate the follow-ups, and answers to all my questions. The support, warmth, care is top notch!

    Dr. Gallagher and her whole team, from Neasa to Daryl Ann and everyone else in between, are absolutely fantastic, kind hearted, hard working people. Dr. Gallagher truly amazed me and I’m so grateful to have had her on my team.

    I was able to get keyhole top surgery about three weeks ago and I’m loving my results already! I’m muscular and heavier set as well but always had a smaller chest, and I’m so glad Dr. Gallagher was the one who could do this for me.

    Right now I am still experiencing swelling, but I am using compression dressings every day, throughout the day which helps tons! I know that when the swelling subsides months from now, and everything is “back to normal”, I am going to love even more what I see in the mirror because I can finally see me.

    So glad I found Dr. Gallagher. I would not have elected to pursue my surgery had I not found a qualified and competent medical provider that I felt I could trust and have confidence in their ability to offer a high-quality, low-risk result. As a result of my initial contacts and consultations with Gallagher Plastic Surgery practice, I was willing to pursue my desired surgery and even travel half-way across the country to their offices. I’m so glad I did. The results are outstanding, more than I even anticipated. This was the 3rd practice I had dealt with and so I was learning what to look for and knew Dr. Gallagher was a good fit. The medical expertise and professionalism are what I based my decision on to proceed. They were calmly confident for a reason. I realized at the surgery event and through to the 3 week post-op checkin the excellence in their personal care (bed side manner). The office and Dr. Gallagher communicated very well. Everything went smoothly and as planned. As nervous as I was about an unnecessary surgery, Dr. Gallagher and her team were able to build enough trust that I was able to receive a very beneficial result.

    Dr. Gallagher and her team are the absolute best! She completed my brachioplasty on Tuesday and when I saw the initial results at my post op appointment two days later I literally had tears of joy streaming down my face. My weight loss journey has been a road of many ups and downs, and I was so nervous about whether this surgery could even work for me. Even with the swelling that is normal after brachioplasty, there is an enormous difference, and I am still in disbelief that even this early on, my arms look this great. My husband was even in disbelief, and we’re so excited to see what I’ll look like in two weeks time. Dr. Gallagher is so kind and patient, and walked me through all of the phases of healing/expectations, and was great to call and check in. If you are looking for a highly skilled surgeon that will give you optimal results along with a compassionate approach, it is well worth your time and money to consider a consultation with her. I am forever thankful for her and for her team! This is life changing for me. Thank you, Dr. Gallagher! I appreciate you so much!
