Medical and Aesthetic Reasons for Labiaplasty

Patients consider labiaplasty for various reasons, including:

• Reducing physical discomfort during activities
• Alleviating chafing and irritation
• Addressing pain during intercourse
• Improving vaginal aesthetics and self-confidence
• Correcting changes from childbirth and aging

The labiaplasty procedure typically requires local anesthesia and takes one to two hours. Surgeons carefully make incisions along natural skin folds to minimize visible scarring, ensuring optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery and Expected Outcomes
