What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce or reshape the labia minora (the inner folds of the vulva) for aesthetic or functional reasons. It can enhance comfort, reduce irritation, and boost self-confidence, offering a more refined appearance and improved personal well-being.

Let’s take the first step together. At Petals Health, our expert team ensures a safe and comfortable experience. Book your consultation today.

Types of Labiaplasty

Trim Labiaplasty

  • Removes excess tissue along the edges of the labia minora.
  • Offers a more symmetrical and refined appearance.
  • Ideal for those seeking minimal tissue removal.

Wedge Labiaplasty

  • A wedge-shaped portion of the labia is removed, preserving the natural edge.
  • Provides a more natural look with less visible scarring.
  • Often chosen for significant size reduction or asymmetry correction.

De-epithelialisation Labiaplasty

  • Involves removing the outer layer of tissue without affecting the underlying structure.
  • Ideal for women with hypertrophic labia that require internal contouring.
  • Results in smoother, more compact labia without drastic changes.

Labia Majora Reduction

  • Focuses on reducing the size of the outer labia (majora) for a more balanced appearance.
  • Often performed alongside labiaplasty to enhance overall symmetry.
