Labiaplasty typically results in shorter labia that no longer hang down below the level of the hair-bearing labia majora. Most patients who experienced symptoms from twisting and tugging of their labia generally find relief after surgery.
Labiaplasty is a common procedure that addresses the labia minora (the closest skin folds to the vagina). It is usually performed in women with prominent labia who wish to reduce them or even correct their shape.
Different shapes and sizes of labia minora exist. According to recent studies, about half of all women have labia minora that are longer than the labia majora (outer skin folds).
Many patients seek a labiaplasty not just for cosmetic reasons but because of symptoms such as irritation, pain and inflammation resulting from physical activity or tight clothing.
This kind of surgery can also be performed under local anesthesia with minimal pain.
