Why Consider Labiaplasty?

There are a number of reasons women may consider labiaplasty. For some, physical discomfort during activities such as cycling, running, or sexual intercourse can impact daily life. Others may feel self-conscious about the visibility of their labia when wearing fitted clothing, such as swimwear or activewear. Changes in the labia following childbirth, natural ageing, or hormonal shifts can also lead to discomfort or dissatisfaction.

Hygiene concerns and recurring irritation may also prompt women to explore surgical options. Every woman’s body is different, and what feels right for one person may not be necessary for another. At Aesthetica, we listen without judgement and provide you with professional guidance tailored to your circumstances.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of labiaplasty procedures performed by board-certified surgeons in the U.S. increased by 39% between 2015 and 2016. This trend reflects growing awareness and openness about available treatments, rather than a need to conform to cosmetic ideals.

What Does Labiaplasty Involve?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to alter the shape or size of the labia. It may involve reshaping the labia minora, refining the labia majora, or reducing excess folds around the clitoral hood. Each of these options is carefully considered based on your anatomy and personal preferences.

• Labia minora reduction focuses on relieving discomfort or addressing asymmetry of the inner labia. This procedure can help if you experience irritation, chafing, or self-consciousness about the size or shape of the labia minora.
• Clitoral hood reduction, also known as preputial reduction, involves removing excess skin folds over the clitoris. This can be performed on its own or in combination with other procedures and is carried out with precision to preserve sensation and sensitivity.
• Refinement of the labia majora may involve surgical reduction, fractional laser resurfacing, or non-surgical RF (radiofrequency) treatments. These options can be tailored individually or combined, depending on your goals and comfort level.
