Labiaplasty is for women who are unhappy with large or asymmetric labia, or related female genital issues. Labiaplasty permits the reduction of large labia (labia minora and labia majora) to reduce their outward appearance and correct misshapenness or irregularities.

Laser Reduction Labiaplasty is focused on the aesthetic appeal of labia minora. A reduction procedure can reduce and refine unequal labial minora and achieve your desired look. This procedure may also be accompanied and completed at the same time with many other cosmetic procedures.

Today surgeons can remove excess tissue from the labia majora and minora with a labioplasty performed with a scalpel or a laser (check with your physician to see which they offer). This procedure reduces the length of the tissue as well as making uneven labia equal in size. Usually a short outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia, reduction labioplasty has a short recovery time. A laser procedure generally heals more quickly whereas a procedure performed with a scalpel will typically take a little longer.

Reduction labioplasty may not be covered by insurance, but most surgeons offer payment plans. The surgery can be done concurrently with other genital, facial or plastic surgery elsewhere on the body.

Augmentation Labiaplasty

As women turn their attention to beauty of the whole body, genital alteration becomes an option. While some feel aspects of their genitalia are too large, for example, long labia majora, or vulvar lips, others feel their labia are too small or thin.

To improve appearance and possibly sexual fulfillment, cosmetic surgeons can inject the labia with extracted body fat. This technique can also be used to increase the size of one side of the labia if the other side is smaller.

Labial augmentation is less invasive than other genital surgeries, and can easily be combined with other procedures.
