If you have an enlarged labia minora it can be embarrassing, painful and cause problems sexually. Are you ashamed to get undressed in a locker room or even in the privacy of your own bedroom in front of your mate because of your protruding vaginal lips? Then vaginal tightening surgery is a viable option for you.
Enlargement of the labia minora can be genetic or caused by pregnancy, childbirth and other hormonal causes. Local irritation, problems with personal hygiene, complications with sexual intercourse and discomfort during certain athletic activities or simply walking are all indicative for surgical reduction procedures.
Labiaplasty or labial reduction involves a technique that reduces the large or uneven labia minora to a thinner, more comfortable, and more appealing size and shape. The aim of labial reduction surgery is to preserve most of the natural contour, pigmentation, and sensitivity of the labia minora with minimal scarring. Your individual needs and expectations should be discussed during your initial consultation with your cosmetic surgeon.
The Procedure
Vaginal tightening surgery or reduction of the labia minora (Labiaplasty or Labial Reduction) is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient. Care is taken to avoid over-resection of the labia and to avoid interference with the clitoris or urethral opening. This careful reduction of the labia minora may serve to improve your physical comfort and sexuality.
