| abiaplasty also known as labia reduction is performed on women who are concerned with large or asymmetric labia. The surgery reduces the outward appearance of the labia and can correct the misshapenness or irregularity. Some women are uncomfortable with their enlarged labia, which can lead to discomfort with wearing clothing, performing certain exercises or even during sex. The enlarged labia can have an abnormal appearance leading to self-consciousness. |
Labiaplasty (vaginal lip reduction) reduces the size of the labia minora at the entrance to the vagina to make the vaginal "lips" more aesthetically pleasing.
Many women suffer from oversized or asymmetrical labia minora, the folds of the skin or "inner lips" surrounding the entrance to the vagina.
Asymmetrical or elongated labia can cause irritation, physical discomfort, and may be a source of embarrassment with a sexual partner. Just like other parts of the body, labia are not usually perfectly symmetrical (ie one is usually longer than the other.)
Labiaplasty surgery can be performed under local anesthetic and/or intravenous sedation.
If you have oversized, asymmetrical, and/or protruding inner vaginal "lips" (labia minora) that are causing symptoms or are a source of embarrassment, labiaplasty surgery may be for you.
