Who are the suitable candidates for Labial Reduction Surgery?
Perfect candidates for labia removal surgery are women who have experienced notable labial changes after childbirth or have always had irregular labia, Minora, Majora, or both. In general, there is no standard shape for genitalia. But, many women express dissatisfaction with having a prominent labia.
Furthermore, Surgeons recommend labial reduction surgery if :
- You have physical discomfort during sitting, walking, exercising, or having sex.
- We are having Labial tears caused by childbirth.
- You had suffered difficult childbirths; you do not wish to get pregnant anymore, and you are between 30 and 60.
However, this operation is generally safe for all women over 18. In some cases, women younger than 18 who have Labial asymmetry may be candidates for labia surgery.

How is Labia reduction surgery performed?
The procedure differs depending on the selected technique by the surgeon according to your condition.
There are three main techniques for performing labia reshaping Surgery:
1. Trim technique
During this process, your surgeon will place a clamp on the area to control bleeding and remove the excess labial tissue using a laser or scalpel. Next, they will close the area with stitches and cover it with bandages.
2. Wedge Technique
Using this method, your surgeon will remove a wedge of tissue from the center of the labia. Then they will suture the two sides of the labia and cover them with bandages.
3. De-epithelialization Technique
Using this technique, your surgeon will remove the tissue that lines the labia with a scalpel or laser. Then, they will close the area with stitches and cover it with bandages.
