Your arms could be giving away secrets about your true age. Or worse, they could be lying, telling the world you’re older than you actually are. Underarm liposuction, combined with a tuck procedure, can help give the right impression.
The labia are folds of skin found on the outside of a woman's genitals. This is also called the vulva. The labia are responsible for protecting the vagina, clitoris and urethra.
There are two types of labia—the outer, larger folds called the labia majora(major) and the inner smaller folds called the labia minora (minor). Sometimes the labia are called "lips".
The size of the labia majora can vary significantly from woman to woman. Just as everyone's noses or ears are different, so are a woman's labia. They can vary in color and shape as well.
Some women are born with very large or protruding labia majora. For other women, the labia may enlarge or skin may loosen after childbirth or after a dramatic weight loss. This loosening or enlargement can be problematic for some women as they cause:

To reduce their size and appearance, you can consider a surgical procedure called a labia majoraplasty.
The procedure is relatively simple. Labia majoraplasty surgery takes about an hour to complete and can be done in an outpatient surgical setting under general anesthesia or in your provider's office using local anesthesia.
During the procedure, your provider will reshape the labia. He or she may make a crescent-shaped cut and remove any extra tissue then re-stitch the labia to the body. Incisions are made close to the body and designed so that the scars are concealed in folds of the vulva.
You will be able to go home after your procedure. If you chose to sleep through the surgery you will need a driver to take you home.
Your provider will give you pain medication you can take if needed. Not all women experience significant pain after the procedure. Swelling in the first day or two after surgery is common and you may need to use ice packs to fight the swelling.
Once the swelling goes down, you should be able to return to work (24-48 hours after surgery) assuming you won't be doing activities that could injure the incisions. This includes any job with strenuous physical movement or activities like riding a bicycle, motorcycle or horse, which could place pressure on the incision.
Your provider may use dissolving stitches so you won't have to have anything removed later. It can take 3-12 weeks for the stitches to completely dissolve but you will be able to return to normal activities (and even have sex) about 6-8 weeks after surgery.

Your body may be the best healer you’ll encounter. Think of the magic you saw as a child when a cut healed without a trace. Regenerative medicine techniques, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, help your body heal more efficiently.

There’s little question that varicose and spider veins are unsightly, particularly in moderate to advanced stages. Though they’re usually medically benign, varicose veins do need assessment before you undergo treatment to remove them.
Harnessing the power of light to rejuvenate your skin can produce astonishing results with fast treatments and short recovery times. Fractional lasers and intense pulsed light provide a range of options to bring a fresher look for the New Year.
Times and tastes change, so it’s not uncommon that a tattoo choice of years ago is not what you’d select today. Fortunately, that decision doesn’t have to be permanent — cosmetic lasers provide a way to remove the ink you no longer want.
