Labiaplasty

Reduction labiaplasty is a type of intimate plastic surgery aimed at reducing the labia minora. During the operation, areas of the lips are removed in order to give them an attractive appearance.

Large labia do not pose a threat to health, but can create esthetic dissatisfaction, physical discomfort, complexes and the feeling of inferiority in sexual life. The small lips of an adult woman have a darker color than the large ones and are slightly over the level of the labia majora. The size and shape of the labia for each woman are individual.

Causes of large-sized labia minora:

  • Birth defect.
  • Genetic predisposition.
  • As a result of puberty.
  • After-surgery effects.
  • Pregnancy and childbirth.
  • Endocrine regulation disorders.

Indications for labiaplasty

Reduction labiaplasty is performed due to:

  • Asymmetry.
  • Hyperpigmentation.
  • Large size or length of labia minora.

The purpose of the surgery is to reduce the size, to improve the shape of the labia minora, and, as a result, to get rid of the complexes and discomfort in sexual and everyday life.

General contraindications: cancer, cardiovascular and acute infectious diseases, chronic hypertensive disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus, blood-clotting disorder, inflammatory disorders of genital organs, venereal diseases.

Surgery specifics

The procedure is done by trimming the enlarged fragments of the labia minora, and, if necessary, there can be done an additional clitoris lifting. Wounds are sewed with absorbable sutures. The size of the adjusted labia is selected individually.
