Labiaplasty
Women’s labias come in all different shapes and sizes. And even though it’s normal to have a labia that’s not shaped “normally”, that doesn’t mean that you have to be comfortable with it. We can reconstruct your labia so that it’s not just normal, but what YOU want it to be.
The labiaplasty procedure is completed in the office under local anesthesia. The procedure is designed to sculpt the labia by reducing and reshaping the long or uneven labia.
Please know that women can be born with large labias. Also, labias can enlarge through age or childbirth.
As mentioned previously, labias can change in size and shape due to many factors which include childbirth and age. Long labias may interfere with exercise, intercourse and could cause embarrassment when wearing tight fighting or revealing clothing.
