Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty reshapes or reduces the labia minora to improve comfort and create a more natural, symmetrical appearance. It’s a common procedure for women dealing with discomfort during exercise or intimacy, or who simply want a change after childbirth, weight changes, or aging.

Yes. Childbirth, hormonal changes, and aging are some of the most common reasons women consider labiaplasty. It’s one of the more common procedures we perform, and you’re not alone in considering it.

The procedure itself takes about an hour and a half under local or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel it during surgery. Afterward, most patients take about a week off before returning to normal activities. Sutures are typically absorbable, though any external knots are trimmed away around two weeks out. Some swelling is normal and usually settles within six weeks, though it can take up to six months to fully resolve.

Most patients can resume intercourse and other normal activities about four to six weeks after surgery, once healing has progressed enough.

Yes to both. Labiaplasty is designed to create a natural, proportionate result, and once the excess tissue is removed, it doesn’t grow back.

Our guide comparing non-surgical vs. surgical vaginal rejuvenation walks through both in more detail.

Cost depends on your specific goals and the extent of the procedure. We’ll go over pricing in detail during your consultation.
