LABIAPLASTY
A DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT PRACTICE
EXPERIENCE EXTRAORDINARY
What is Labiaplasty?
The labia are the folds of tissue on either side of the vagina. The labia majora are the outer folds and the labia minora are the inner folds. Some women experience emotional distress and/or physical discomfort from overly large or asymmetric labia. The physical discomfort can arise during exercise, or with sexual activity.
Labiaplasty is a procedure to contour the labia to help alleviate symptoms of overly large, or asymmetric labia. Most commonly, excess tissue from the labia minora or inner folds is removed and the remaining labia is reshaped. This can improve the tugging sensation that women experience during activity, and can help a woman feel more confident about the appearance of her genital region. Labiaplasty is a good option for you if you are relatively healthy and are bothered by the large size or asymmetric appearance of your labia. When choosing a plastic surgeon for labiaplasty, remember that the surgeon’s experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
