Labia Minora Reduction (Labioplasty, Labiaplasty or Vaginal Lip Reduction)
Many women suffer from oversized or asymmetrical labia minora (the folds of skin or "lips" surrounding the entrance to the vagina). While many women are born with this condition and are affected by it throughout their lives, it can also appear later in life with aging or due to stretching during childbirth. Women who have oversized or asymmetrical labia minora often experience discomfort when wearing certain clothing, or during sexual intercourse and it can be a cause of embarrassment with a sexual partner.
The labioplasty procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center. The labia reduction procedure is relatively pain free. Small incisions are made to remove any excess tissue or to even the edges of the labia minora. After surgery, sensation in the labia minora are normal and occasionally enhanced. The results of labioplasty are symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing labia minora.
