What is labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the appearance of the labia. It can be performed to reduce the size of the labia, change their shape, or correct deformities. The procedure is typically performed on women who are unhappy with the appearance of their labia and who are experiencing discomfort or pain due to the size or shape of their labia.

There are two main types of labiaplasty:

* Trimming labiaplasty: This procedure involves removing excess tissue from the labia to create a more desired size and shape.

* Z-plasty labiaplasty: This procedure involves making a series of zigzag incisions in the labia to reshape them.

Labiaplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete. Recovery time from labiaplasty is typically 1 to 2 weeks.

Labiaplasty is a safe and effective procedure that can help women improve the appearance and function of their labia. However, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a doctor before deciding to undergo surgery.
