Description
This 37-year-old woman had thought about a labiaplasty for 10 years. She felt her labia were prominent and she was always self-conscious in swimsuits and when wearing leotards. Board Certified Urologist and women’s wellness expert Dr. Shaya Taghechian treated her with a labiaplasty to shorten and contour her too-long labia. The patient had her treatment in the office, awake and relaxed with laughing gas. She is shown 2 months after treatment, with excellent healing progress and a great outcome.
About Surgical Labiaplasty
Enlarged or uneven labia minora (the inner lips of tissue surrounding the vaginal opening) are effectively treated with the common (though uncommonly discussed) procedure called labiaplasty. For most women, the labia minora are for the most part covered by the labia majora (outer lips). In others, however, genetics, puberty, aging and pregnancy can cause the inner lips to extend beyond the outer lips. Some women can experience discomfort and irritation with overly long labia minora, leading to discomfort in clothing, during exercise, and with sexual relationships, while other women may just be bothered by the appearance of the labia. Labiaplasty treatments can address these concerns. Our Board-Certified Urologist and women’s wellness expert Dr. Shaya Taghechian specializes in both surgical and non-surgical labiaplasty to help women feel their most confident and address any intimate anatomy concerns.
