Every visit, without exception
Four things that are true of every visit
Care by an OB/GYN
Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.
30 years caring for women
Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Labiaplasty plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.
Written plan first
Every Labiaplasty patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.
Conservative, considered
Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.
Treatment Details
Every fact about your first visit, in plain language.
Most first-time patients arrive with the same set of unspoken questions. They are answered below in the order most people think them — from "how much will I need" to "what if I'm pregnant."

01Labiaplasty 101
The procedure itself.
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the size or reshapes the labia minora (inner labia). It is performed for cosmetic reasons or for functional reasons such as discomfort with clothing, exercise, or intercourse.
How long it's been around
Labiaplasty has been described in plastic surgery literature since the 1980s and has become one of the more commonly requested cosmetic gynaecological procedures, with refined techniques (trim, wedge, deepithelialisation) emerging in subsequent decades.
What we treat with it
Labia minora that protrude past the labia majora and cause functional discomfort with clothing, cycling, exercise, or intercourse; asymmetric labia; or aesthetic concerns the patient brings to consultation. Indication is patient-led: there is no medical "normal" size that the procedure restores.
The honest version
Why labiaplasty sometimes disappoints.
Labiaplasty disappoints when the technique doesn't match the anatomy, when the result is over-reduced ("barbie" appearance), or when expectations weren't aligned at consultation.
Two main techniques produce different results. The linear trim removes the edge of the labia minora and is technically simpler but eliminates the natural pigmented rim. The wedge resection removes a triangular section and rejoins the natural edges, preserving the pigmented border. Patients who weren't shown both options at consultation sometimes regret the appearance, particularly with the trim technique.
The other common failure mode is over-reduction. The instinct to "go small" produces a barbie-like flat appearance that some patients find unnatural. A conservative reduction with the option to refine at a second visit is generally safer than an aggressive single-stage reduction. This is one of the procedures where less is genuinely more.
At Oshun, we don't run that model. Labiaplasty here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.
02Medical Leadership
The same physician, from first question to final follow-up.
Every labiaplasty at Oshun is performed by Dr. Rockhead personally. As a board-certified OB/GYN, he brings anatomic familiarity that pure cosmetic surgeons sometimes lack — particularly for patients with concurrent functional concerns or prior gynaecological history. The same physician who consults with you performs the procedure and sees you at every follow-up.

Dr. Charles Rockhead
Medical Director · Board-Certified OB/GYN · 30+ years of practice
Dr. Charles Rockhead is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than thirty years of practice in Kingston. He is the Medical Director of Oshun Cosmetic Services and the founding physician of Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice.
A Labiaplasty visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.
i.
Consultation
Before any Labiaplasty is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.
ii.
Preparation
Stop blood thinners 7–10 days before where medically safe. Avoid shaving or waxing the area for 1 week prior. Arrive with the area clean; pre-op antiseptic preparation is done at the clinic.
iii.
The labiaplasty procedure
After the area is cleansed and local anaesthetic infiltrated (or general anaesthesia administered), Dr. Rockhead performs the chosen technique — linear trim or wedge resection — with marking to ensure symmetry. The tissue is closed with fine absorbable sutures. The procedure itself takes 45–75 minutes.
iv.
Recovery & follow-up
Ice packs on and off for the first 48 hours. Loose cotton underwear only; no tight pants. Use prescribed analgesics and the post-op antiseptic regimen. Avoid sexual activity, tampons, swimming, and exercise for 4–6 weeks. Wound check at 1 week, suture removal or absorption review at 2 weeks, healing and shape at 6 weeks, and final outcome at 3 months.
How much you'll need
Labiaplasty is a single surgical session. Two main techniques exist (linear trim or wedge resection); the choice depends on anatomy and goals.
Will it hurt?
Labiaplasty at Oshun is performed under local anaesthesia with optional sedation for most cases. General anaesthesia is offered for patients who prefer it or for combined procedures.
How long the visit takes
Plan for about 1–1.5 hours for the procedure itself; total visit including check-in and recovery is 2–3 hours.
Time off after
Plan for 3–5 days off work (or work-from-home). Avoid sexual activity, tampons, swimming, and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks.
04Results & aftercare
Recovery and follow-up.
Initial shape is visible immediately. Swelling settles over 4–6 weeks; final result evaluated at 3 months.
The days before your visit
Stop blood thinners 7–10 days before where medically safe. Avoid shaving or waxing the area for 1 week prior. Arrive with the area clean; pre-op antiseptic preparation is done at the clinic.
Right after your visit
Ice packs on and off for the first 48 hours. Loose cotton underwear only; no tight pants. Use prescribed analgesics and the post-op antiseptic regimen. Avoid sexual activity, tampons, swimming, and exercise for 4–6 weeks.
Two-week follow-up
Wound check at 1 week, suture removal or absorption review at 2 weeks, healing and shape at 6 weeks, and final outcome at 3 months.
05Is Labiaplasty right for you
Who gets the most out of Labiaplasty at Oshun.
Who should not have Labiaplasty
Active genital infection (yeast, bacterial vaginosis, herpes outbreak), bleeding disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy, body dysmorphic disorder without psychiatric clearance, and unrealistic expectations regarding final appearance. Adolescent labiaplasty is generally deferred until anatomy is mature.
Labiaplasty isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.
Functional discomfort
Pain with clothing, cycling, or exercise
Labia minora that protrude past the labia majora and chafe during exercise, cycling, or in tight clothing are a clear functional indication. Patients often report years of discomfort they assumed was normal.
Discomfort with intercourse
Painful tugging or folding during intercourse
Some women experience painful tugging, folding, or pinching of the labia minora during intercourse. Resection of the protruding tissue resolves this directly.
Aesthetic concern
Patient-led cosmetic concern
Some patients seek labiaplasty for aesthetic reasons alone, often after years of self-consciousness. Indication is patient-led; the surgical decision is the same once the discussion at consultation aligns the technique with the goal.
Asymmetry correction
Marked left-right asymmetry
Marked left-right asymmetry of the labia minora can be a functional or aesthetic concern. Reduction of the larger side rather than augmentation of the smaller is the usual approach.

The honest answers
Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.
Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.
Is labiaplasty painful?
The procedure itself is painless under local anaesthetic or general. Post-operative discomfort is typically moderate for the first 48 hours, easily managed with prescribed analgesics, and improves rapidly thereafter.
Will I have visible scarring after labiaplasty?
Scars are placed within the natural tissue contour and usually heal to nearly invisible marks. The wedge technique preserves the natural pigmented rim; the linear trim produces a different healed appearance. Both options are discussed at consultation.
Will labiaplasty affect sexual sensation?
Labiaplasty addresses the labia minora, not the clitoris or vaginal canal. Sexual sensation is preserved. Many patients report improved sexual experience because the prior discomfort with intercourse is gone.
How long is recovery after labiaplasty?
3–5 days off work (or work-from-home), and avoid sexual activity, tampons, swimming, and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks. Initial shape is visible immediately; final result at 3 months.
What's the difference between trim and wedge labiaplasty?
The linear trim removes the edge of the labia minora — technically simpler, removes the pigmented rim. The wedge resection removes a triangular section and rejoins the natural edges, preserving the pigmented border. Most modern practice favours wedge for aesthetic preservation.
Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes — clitoral hood reduction, vaginoplasty, or perineoplasty are commonly combined with labiaplasty in a single session if indicated. Combination plans are reviewed at consultation.
Are there risks with labiaplasty?
Risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, wound dehiscence (wound opening), over-reduction, scar discomfort, and rarely altered sensation. Most cases heal uneventfully when post-operative instructions are followed. Dr. Rockhead reviews the full list with you.
Is labiaplasty covered by insurance?
Cosmetic labiaplasty is not covered. Functional cases with documented symptoms may have partial coverage depending on insurer. Itemised receipts with appropriate codes are provided.
How do I book a labiaplasty consultation at Oshun?
Booking is a two-step process: a private consultation first to discuss anatomy, technique options, and quote, then surgery scheduling. WhatsApp (876) 676-6297 or schedule a consultation from this page.
