Labiaplasty is often performed on women who experience discomfort physically and/or emotionally because of their labia. Candidates for a labiaplasty include women who:
- Have labia hypertrophy, or an elongated and enlarged labia minora or majora
- Have an asymmetrical labia minora
- Wish to reduce the size of the excess tissue around the clitoris
- Experienced tearing during childbirth
- Experience pain wearing certain pants
- Experience pain during intercourse
- Experience decreased stimulation
- Have hygiene difficulties due to labia hypertrophy
If you’ve felt self-conscious about the shape and size of your labia, a labiaplasty may be right for you. Many women ask if they are "normal" – but there are a variety of shapes and sizes of a woman’s anatomy that would fall under the “normal” descriptor.
Whether you choose to have a labiaplasty because of cosmetic reasons or functional ones, the decision is a highly personal one.
