Why do women decide to get labiaplasty?

Labia can come in all shapes and sizes. In fact, it is very unique, and the range of what is "normal" is wide and varied. However, when a person's labia are significantly elongated, the excess tissue can cause discomfort or get in the way of its normal function.

The vulva comprises three primary components: the inner lips, the outer lips, and the clitoris. The labia minora refers to the vulva's inner lips, and the labia majora is the outer lips. As we go through many stages of our lives like pre-adolescence, puberty, sexual maturity, childbearing, or factors like aging, gravity, and the number of children you delivered vaginally all have an effect on the shape and size of the labia minora and labia majora.

Labiaplasty can be a solution for you. It is a surgical procedure for sculpting and reshaping the labia minora and labia majora. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, this surgery has a high satisfaction rate of over 90%. The surgery will include shortening the labia majora by removing excess tissue removed with either a scalpel or a laser. Then tiny, dissolvable stitches are used to close the incisions. A typical labiaplasty procedure can take up to two hours, and most patients can go home the same day.

Labiaplasty surgery should only be conducted by a board-certified gynecologist or plastic surgeon with substantial experience in the treatment because the labia are made up of small and delicate tissues. The size of the labia minora and/or the labia majora is frequently reduced. In rare circumstances, labial augmentation may be required to restore labial symmetry and balance.

When is labiaplasty necessary?

There are many reasons why a woman might consider getting a labiaplasty. These reasons can be both functional or cosmetic:

• Physical discomfort: Skin rubbing together as a result of enlarged and protruding labia minora can cause irritation. Persistent irritation can make the skin become raw, resulting in hygiene difficulties and infections.

• The discomfort of wearing specific types of clothing: Unusually elongated labia minora might make wearing bathing suits, tight trousers, or gym gear uncomfortable. They can also cause a visible bulge or a camel-toe, making it difficult for certain women to wear tight-fitting clothing.

• Physical difficulties: Enlarged labia can become sensitive and make it difficult for a woman to participate in certain activities. For example, tugging of the labia on the seat while riding a bike can cause pain, and protruding labia can make trekking, running, and other physical activities, even sex, difficult.

• Sexual discomfort: A woman's sexual life may be impacted by protruding labia minora. It has the potential to obstruct sexual intercourse, induce pain, and impair the capacity to achieve orgasm. It can also make a woman feel self-conscious and interfere with her ability to enjoy intimate moments with her partner.

• Psychological impact: A woman's self-confidence and self-esteem can be affected by her dissatisfaction with her vulva's look, as well as her inability to fully participate in all physical activities and wear whatever clothes she wishes. It can damage intimate relationships and have an emotional impact.

• Medical Necessity:

  • Labial enlargement due to dyspareunia.

  • Due to perspiration, secretion accumulating in the area formed by labial hypertrophy and the development of chronic urinary tract infections.

  • Difficulties with genital odor or hygiene as a result of enlarged labia minora, including the inability to wipe adequately with toilet paper or itching as a result of bacterial buildup

  • Melanoma or other abnormalities on your labia.

Cosmetic concerns: Due to pop culture influence, idolization of certain specific types of body and genitalia in pornography or body dysmorphia, women may consider labiaplasty for aesthetics reasons to correct:

• Sagging Labia

• Asymmetry between both the vaginal lips

• Elongated labia

• Simply disliking the way labia looks.

• To have a more youthful appearance of the vulva.

• To feel more desirable by the partner.
