Labiaplasty is one of the three major areas of cosmetic vaginal surgeries.
The procedure aims to correct dysfunctions and improve the woman`s hidden aesthetics.

The way a woman feels about the look and sensation in her vagina and pubic areas has a major impact on her self-esteem, her sexual desire, and her intimate relationship.

There are three major areas of Cosmetic Vaginal Surgeries, aimed to rejuvenate a woman’s sexual feeling:
• Labia surgery (labiaplasty, labia reduction and look improvement, correcting the size and shape of the inner and outer lips)
• Vaginal reconstruction and rejuvenation (vaginoplasty, mainly vaginal tightening)
• Hymenoplasty (hymen reconstruction, “bringing back to virginity”)

Labia reduction
Many women want to ease discomfort associated with large or thick labia. Not just the look, but thick labia often interfere with biking, working out, and wearing tight fitting clothes. Large labia causes irritation, rubbing and discomfort during sexual intercourse, exercising, or while wearing certain types of clothing.

As well, many women want to enhance or improve appearance of a “butterfly”, or an asymmetrical labia. Feeling good about how you look often builds self-confidence and self-esteem.

Labiaplasty can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries. Most women who opt for labiaplasty also choose tummy tucks and liposuction.

Labia procedures may include liposuction of the Mount of Venus (for a bulky pubic area) and augmentation of the Mount of Venus (for an atrophied pubic area).

Vaginal physiological state significantly affects a woman’s physiological state. Structure reconstruction of the vagina area may well bring back the younger feel, and contribute the sexual life and self esteem improvement a woman is looking for.
Some surgeons perform procedures involving laser surgery, where others use methods such as radiosurgical techniques or scalpel techniques.
Your doctor / surgeon will explain how long the surgery will take, the amount of time and care necessary for a full recovery, and exactly when after surgery it would be safe to resume sexual intercourse.

This surgery can also relate to the labia majora (larger outer lips) to make it less prominent. Labia surgery is most often done in the operating room but in many cases surgery can be done in the office under local anaesthetic at dramatically decreased costs. This procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes to perform.

Parallel to undergoing cosmetic surgery, some alternatives should be considered as well. Such include exercises, medical therapies and psychosocial counselling.

Most patients are very happy after vaginal, often wishing to have had surgery much earlier. Their regained vaginal sensation and look well improves their quality of life.

Labia Surgery Costs depend on your choice of doctor and location. Prices may range between $3,000 and $8,000.
