Image and Labia Majora
Do you have a poor self-image of your labia majora or labia minora? If so, you are not alone. Numerous women around the world have a poor self-image of their genitals and they are doing something about it. They are consulting their cosmetic surgeon and asking about procedures that can help them.
Labia Surgery
As with any cosmetic surgery, labia surgery may be undertaken for functional reasons, aesthetic reasons, or a combination of the two.
You may need surgery if:
• If your vaginal lips, or labia is noticeable when you wear a bathing suit or tight-fitting jeans.
• If your labia causes you pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse or while riding a bicycle.
• If having large or uneven labia prevents you from having an intimate relationship because you're embarrassed by the way that you look.
Labia Reduction Surgery
Labia reduction surgery is for women with enlarged or uneven labia minora. Large labia minora or vaginal lips can lead to discomfort with certain clothing, exercise, and sex. Labiaplasty is the reduction of the labia minora or the inner lips of the vagina. Lasers, fine scissors or a knife can be used. After labia reduction, the labia edges are then sewn together with dissolvable stitches. Surgery lasts between one and two hours and is generally performed under general anesthesia. Spinal anesthetic may also be used if you wish to be awake.
Vaginoplasty
Vaginoplasty or vaginal tightening surgery, removes excess vaginal skin to narrow the diameter of the vagina, resulting in a smaller and tighter vaginal opening. When the vagina becomes stretched from aging and child birth vaginoplasty tightens and restores the vagina and supporting structures.
The most common reason that a woman seeks surgery is for loose vaginal muscles and Kegels and other exercises have failed to help strengthen and tighten the vagina.
Surgery can be medically necessary to repair muscle damage from childbirth or to reduce the size of the labia in women who have discomfort caused by long flaps of skin. These procedures can also repair damage to tissue after rape or to reconstruct the vagina after women have suffered genital mutilation.
