Table of Contents
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and reshape the labia, the folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. At Lux Hospitals, we understand that women may seek this procedure for various reasons, including physical discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or changes due to childbirth or aging. Our dedicated team is here to provide personalized care and support throughout your journey.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty involves the surgical alteration of the labia minora (inner lips) and/or labia majora (outer lips). This procedure can address issues such as enlarged or asymmetrical labia, discomfort during physical activities, or irritation caused by tight clothing. Labiaplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia, and the techniques used will depend on each patient’s individual needs.
Types of Labiaplasty
- Labiaplasty of the Labia Minora: Reduces the size of the inner lips to alleviate discomfort and enhance appearance.
- Labiaplasty of the Labia Majora: Involves lifting and reshaping the outer lips for improved contour and symmetry.
- Clitoral Hood Reduction: Can be performed alongside labiaplasty to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of the area.
Benefits of Labiaplasty
- Increased comfort during physical activities, including exercise and intercourse
- Enhanced confidence and self-esteem regarding their body image
- Aesthetic improvement of the genital area
- Reduction in irritation caused by clothing or hygiene products
