Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty: Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the appearance of the labia minora, the inner folds of skin on the vulva. It is typically performed to reduce the size of enlarged labia minora, which can cause discomfort during activities like exercise, sexual intercourse, or wearing tight clothing.

Pros:
Increased comfort during daily activities and intimacy.
Improved self-confidence for some women.

Cons:
Potential for scarring or loss of sensation.
Discomfort and pain during recovery.
May not be covered by insurance.

Alternatives: Laser treatments or fillers may be minimally invasive options for some patients.

Recovery: Healing typically takes 4-6 weeks, with limitations on strenuous activity and sexual intercourse.

Disclaimer: Consulting a board-certified gynecologist to discuss individual needs and risks is essential before considering labiaplasty.
