Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and reduces the inner vaginal lips (labia minora) when they are excessively large, elongated, or asymmetric. The purpose is to provide a more balanced and aesthetic appearance while improving physical comfort and reducing irritation during daily activities.
Labiaplasty is commonly performed for the following reasons:
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation. The surgeon trims the excess tissue, reshapes the labia, and creates a natural and symmetrical appearance. The choice of technique depends on the patient’s anatomy and expectations. The operation usually takes 30–60 minutes.
Recovery is typically quick. Swelling, mild pain, and tenderness may occur during the first 3–5 days. Stitches dissolve on their own. Most patients return to daily activities within 3–7 days. Full healing and final results take 4–6 weeks.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided for approximately 4–6 weeks. After receiving the doctor’s approval, it is safe to resume sexual activity.
