What is a Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects excessively long, enlarged or redundant labia minora tissue and can make the external genitalia (the vulva ) more cosmetically appealing. Women with enlarged or elongated labia may feel very conscious when wearing tight clothing or swimwear, as the outline of the labia may be visible through the clothing. Enlarged labia may also cause women to feel self-conscious during intimate contact. Some are concerned about ...more

Lip Correction is performed by women who want reduction of the inner lips on the outside of the vagina or labia minora. The reduction is done as many women are uncomfortable with the shape as well as the size of their labia. The swelling of the labia often causes discomfort in exercising, and women are unable to wear bathing suits as well as fitting clothes. It also causes interference in the sexual activity and sometimes it becomes very embarrassing and difficult to maintain basic hygiene.

In case of adverse scarring, which takes upto 18 months to fully mature, it can turn red or lumpy. Soem patients, however, may develope excessive scarring known as keloid scars that turns into long term raised itchy and tender scars. This can cause prolonged discomfort and can also distort local tissues.

The vagina is composed of labia majora, labia minora and the clitoral head. In labiaplasty, the appearance of the external genitalia, specifically the labia minora are altered. The labia minora are the flaps of skin on either side of the vagina. With age and/or pregnancy, these can become dark, can sag or can enlarge over a period of time. While some women simply are bothered by the aesthetic appearance of it, others might have discomfort as a result of this.

For several women, labiaplasty is done for cosmetic enhancements and beautification of the inner and outer lips of vagina. For a few women, it becomes difficult for them to even wear clothes due to the enlarged size of labia. This calls for a medical treatment. Also during childbirth, the labia can tear, stretch or have gaps. This does not require any medical attention but it makes a woman feel unhappy, and can affect her sexual life. Aging also affects the way labia looks. It loses its tone, el...more

Labiaplasty is considered as a minor surgery but it does involve cutting into the labia minora. Your surgeon will use local anesthesia but a little pain and swelling will be involved following the procedure. Meanwhile, your surgeon will prescribe you medication to lower down the post-operative symptoms including bruisiness and swelling.

Labiaplasty comes with few risks such as soreness, bruising and swelling for up to 2 weeks. Your routine life may become difficult as you may feel a little uncomfortable while peeing and sitting. Other risks involved are bleeding, infection, scarring of tissue and reduced sensitivity of the genitals. Allergies to anesthesia and blood clots are common risks of surgeries.

It depends on how much tissue is present on the labia to be reduced during the surgery. If there is heavy amount of tissue before a labiaplasty, then your sexual partner will definitely feel the difference. Your sexual partner can also feel the difference in its shape and size once the labiaplasty is performed.
