Many women during puberty or after childbirth may see their labia minora become unusually large or misshapen. Other women develop a loss of fullness in the labia majora after menopause.
Improvements From Labiaplasty
The best candidates for labiaplasty are healthy women who have oversized, sagging, or asymmetrical inner or outer labia. Improvements from this procedure include:
- Relieving irritation and discomfort during sexual activity and athletics (such as bicycling, spinning), and while wearing fitted pants or bathing suits
- Repairing damage caused by childbirth
- Restoring fullness to the labia majora after menopause
- Improving self-esteem
Women who would like to attain multiple improvements with one surgery may choose to have labiaplasty combined with another cosmetic procedure, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction.
