Problem

Genetics, pregnancy, hormones, edema, changes in weight, and aging all take their toll on a woman’s genitals. It is common for the labia minora to be more prominent or protuberant than the labia majora. Prominent labia minora can cause discomfort when wearing certain clothing or having sexual intercourse. Some women are also bothered by the appearance of prominent or excessive labia minora leading to self-esteem issues during intimate relations.

What does the labiaplasty procedure entail?

The labia minora are reduced to a size that is more harmonious with the labia majora. Some patients also have deflated labia majora that can create the illusion of excessively large labia minora. In these patients, fat grafting may be used at the time of labiaplasty to help achieve a better balance between the labia minora and labia majora.

Other complementary procedures include monsplasty. In a monsplasty, or pubic lift, extra skin, excess fat, or both are removed to reduce the bulge in the genital region.
