Labiaplasty surgically reshapes or reduces the external appearance of the labia or the folds of skin that frame the opening of the vagina. There is naturally a significant amount of variation in the asymmetries of the labia from woman to woman, and normal asymmetries often occur. Women come in different shapes and sizes, and your vulva is no different. Many women experience elongated or asymmetrical labia due to increasing age, childbirth, and genetic predisposition. Besides the cosmetic concerns, enlarged or irregular labia can cause discomfort and even restrict your lifestyle. Labiaplasty is the surgical reduction or reshaping of the inner vaginal lips (labia minora). We offer a minimally invasive option using local anesthesia and you can choose exactly how you want your labia to look. Many women seek this procedure because they have a natural excess of skin that may either cause discomfort when wearing tight-fitting clothes or make intimacy difficult.
Refrain from heavy exercise and sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks. It is preferred that the patient wear loose undergarments during the healing period.
The area is expected to heal quickly while mild to moderate swelling occurs after 2 to 3 days of treatment. Labiaplasty is done with absorbable sutures, the incisions are almost inconspicuous when completely healed, and the lips of the vagina would be thinner and would have a better appearance.
