Labia Majora Labiaplasty

Labia majora reduction is performed on the larger outer lips of the vulva to remove extra tissue.  An enlarged labia majora may produce the appearance of a bulge under clothing. Often referred to as “camel toe”, this can cause discomfort and even pain. Precise surgical equipment is used to decrease the bulkiness and delicately contours the outer vulva.

Labiaplasty may be performed in the office under local anesthesia and light sedation. This usually takes about one hour, but may take slightly longer if other procedures are also performed. Recovery takes 2-7 days, with symptoms of mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising sometimes occurring. Patients usually return to work in 2 or 3 days, but they should refrain from jogging, biking, horseback riding, running, heavy lifting, and sexual intercourse for about 6-8 weeks after surgery.
