Labioplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and/or reshapes the labia minora, the skin that surrounds the vaginal opening. In most women, the labia minora are seen only when the legs are separated. However in some women, large labia minora are visible when the legs are not apart, or are barely separated, causing embarrassment, self-consciousness, and distancing in relationships. Enlarged labia may also be noticeable in tight fitting pants, and can cause discomfort during intercourse, with clothes, or with exercise. Enlarged labia are usually congenital but may be increased from hormonal changes or childbirth. Labioplasty is a procedure to correct this problem. Your cosmetic surgeon may have before and after pictures for you to look at.
Due to having diminished strength of the vaginal walls some women experience incontinence. Also sexual enjoyment may be reduced as the frictional force generated between genital organs is decreased.
To restore your vagina's muscle tone, excess lining on the vaginal wall must be removed. Your surgeon will repair the soft tissues around the vaginal wall. This procedure will also decrease the internal and external diameters of the vagina.
Labioplasty decreases the diameter of the vagina which increases friction during intercourse, making the experience more pleasurable for both partners. This surgery is also performed to revise abnormalities and certain congenital conditions such as the absence of a vagina at birth. It can also be performed to repair the vaginal area following disease or injury. This procedure can help to provide greater self-esteem and confidence in your appearance.
The surgical tightening of your vaginal canal may be necessary because of birth trauma, tissue stretching or improper surgical healing. This surgery is the rebuilding of the perineum, the rebuilding of the perineum, the space between the vagina and the rectum.
