Inner labia (labia minora) that are large, misshapen, or protruding can cause women to be self-conscious about their appearance. In addition, overly large labia minora can lead to discomfort during physical activities, including sexual activity. Labiaplasty is a procedure designed to reduce the size of the inner labia and provide women with comfort and confidence.
Many women are born with labia that are naturally large. The majority of these women are embarrassed about the size and appearance of their labia and experience physical and emotional discomfort. Reducing the labia can improve both form and functionality.
Labiaplasty can be performed using one of several techniques. During your consultation, Dr. Schlechter will evaluate you and your goals to determine the method that will best achieve your desired results.
This is the most common technique to reduce the size of the labia minora. Small incisions are used to excise a wedge of tissue from the inner labia. Once the excess tissue is removed, the incisions are closed and will be inconspicuous once they heal. This is Dr. Schlechter’s preferred procedure for labiaplasty.
This method reduces the size and length of the labia minora. Dr. Schlechter removes a strip of skin along the entire edge of the inner lips, which also eliminates the darker edge of the labia and leaves a smooth, lighter border.
I went to see Dr. Schlechter after battling with some insecurities about my large labia for years. I was filled with anxiety, but after meeting him I was at ease and immediately I knew I had chosen the right place. Staff and Dr. will exceed your expectations. – A very satisfied patient
I came from out-of-state for Dr. Schlechter because I had done so much research to find the most experienced, highest rated plastic surgeon that performs labiaplasty. I am so glad I did. I can’t imagine ever going to anyone else for such a delicate procedure. – KC
