Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the size of the labia minora, which are the inner tissues of the female genitalia, so that they are flush with the labia majora, which are the outer part of the female genitalia. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes about an hour to complete. Depending on the patients specific situation, different surgical techniques may be used. The procedure can be done to relieve physical discomfort or as part of gender-affirming surgery. Some women undergo surgery to reduce the excess labia which twists and turns and causes pain and irritation, while others want to restore their youthful look after childbirth or aging. The procedure has both functional and cosmetic benefits. The risks associated with labiaplasty include bleeding, infection, scarring of tissue, and reduced sensitivity of the genitals. Recovery time is usually short, and patients can manage swelling, discomfort, and pain with over-the-counter medication. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a board-certified plastic surgeon who understands the medical, mental, and emotional factors involved.
