What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the aesthetic appearance of the inner labia of the vulva. Labiaplasty surgery is a recommended solution to rectify these issues. It addresses issues such as sagging of the inner labia caused by genetics, hormones, or deformations that lead them to protrude beyond the outer labia.

Who Can Have Labiaplasty Surgery?

There are two sets of lips in the vaginal area; the inner and outer lips. The outer lips are positioned on top of the inner lips. If the inner lips become loose and hang over the outer lips, it can lead to health and aesthetic issues. The sagging inner lips can create a wrinkled, rough and unequal outline above the outer lips. These issues often occur at birth, and can worsen during hormonal changes in adolescence or due to age.

Patients must be at least 18 years old to receive labiaplasty. Labiaplasty does not harm the hymen.
