What is labiaplasty?

Why is labiaplasty performed?

• Functional issues like irritation and swelling from rubbing of clothing or during intercourse
• Esthetic (such as asymmetry with one of the labia larger than the other)
• Psychosocial reasons that result from an unappealing appearance that will physically or psychologically interfere with the pleasure of intercourse
• Congenital anomalies that occur from abnormal development before and after your birth

The most common functional problem interfering with daily life is reported to be labial discomfort or irritation, usually in association with wearing tight clothing or occurring during activities such as sports and sexual intercourse and splitting/splaying the urine stream. Labiaplasty for psychosocial reasons results in improvement of your sexual life, sexual sensation, self-confidence, quality of life as well as reduction in the signs of vulvo-vaginal aging.
