What does a labiaplasty involve?

Labiaplasty is also known as labia reduction and is designed to reduce the size of the inner vaginal lips, also known as the labia minora. The labia minora are located on either side of the vaginal opening and surrounded by the outer labia majora. Reducing the size of the large labia minora can help eliminate discomfort during sexual activity and skin irritation from rubbing against tight clothing. This allows women to live their everyday lives without pain and with greater self-confidence.

Non-surgical vaginal tightening procedures are designed to tighten the vagina using laser or radiofrequency energy.

Women with severe vaginal laxity combined with pelvic organ prolapse are more appropriate for vaginoplasty surgery.
