What is Labiaplasty?

Labia reduction surgery, or labiaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes and resizes the labia.

It is ideal for revising or improving anomalies or congenital conditions that include large or prolapsed inner labia (labia minora). Labiaplasty surgery can also be used to repair the genital area following disease or injury, especially those that occur during childbirth.

Because of the expertise, professionalism and distinction of our plastic surgeons, many women have confided in us about the dissatisfaction they have regarding their genital area, and seek our surgical expertise in labia cosmetic surgery to correct their problem. They do this because they are certain that we can achieve the results they expect.
