Labial Reconstruction Surgery - Labiaplasty Procedure

Due to aging, pregnancy, childbirth, or weight fluctuations, women may experience a lengthening of the inner or outer labia. When the labia major or minor become elongated, it will cause a woman to be self aware about their appearance of female genital. Excess hanging skin may also become uncomfortable when you wear tight clothing or cause pain during or after workout. A labiaplasty procedure reduces the scale/size of either the labia majora (outer lips) or minora (inner lips) for increased comfort and improved aesthetics.

What is Labiaplasty?

A labiaplasty procedure reduces the size of the labia majora, minora, or both. Labiaplasty surgically removes excess skin and tissue from the female genital for either cosmetic reasons or to decrease physical discomfort.

The main goal of a labiaplasty is to eliminate excess tissue in order that nothing is protruding outside of the labium. The procedure typically focuses on the labia minora, or inner lips, of the vagina. It might address issues with the labia majora, or outer lips, as well.

Indications for labial reduction surgery include:

• Large labia
• Asymmetric labia
• Physical discomfort or irritation
• Interference with sexual intercourse

The shape or size of labia gets modified because of the subsequent reason:

• Puberty: 
• Pregnancy
• Childbirth, and
• Aging

Recovery

Patients may experience mild pain, swelling and bruising. Patients should also abstain from sex for six weeks following the procedure. Most patients will return to work within 3-5 days.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate for a labiaplasty is unhappy with the appearance of elongated or sagging labia or is experiencing discomfort due to excess hanging labial skin.
