Labiaplasty (Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery)

Overview

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and sometimes the labia majora (outer lips). It is performed for both functional and cosmetic reasons, and in 2025, the procedure is widely accepted, more discreet, and tailored to preserve natural appearance and sensation.

🎯 Reasons Patients Choose Labiaplasty

• Discomfort during exercise, cycling, or intercourse

• Irritation or chafing in tight clothing (e.g., leggings, swimsuits)

• Labial asymmetry or elongation

• Post-childbirth changes or stretching

• Desire for a smoother, more youthful aesthetic

⚙️ Surgical Technique & Recovery

• Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia

• Most common technique: Trim or Wedge excision (removes excess tissue while preserving natural edge or contour)

• May include clitoral hood reduction for symmetry or sensitivity balance

Recovery Timeline

✅ Ideal Candidates

• Women experiencing physical discomfort or self-consciousness

• Non-smokers in good health

• Those who are done with childbirth or aware of future pregnancy effects

• Realistic expectations about outcomes and healing time

⚠️ Risks & Considerations

• Temporary swelling, numbness, or sensitivity changes

• Rare: wound separation, infection, or overcorrection

• Scars are minimal and well-concealed

• Should be performed by a board-certified surgeon with female anatomy expertise
