Labia majora reduction

The short answer to your question is yes, Labiaplasty can correct over-sized labia majora. In general, Labiaplasty falls into three types: labia minora Labiaplasty, labia majora reduction, and clitoral hood reduction/advancement. Each of these is a straight forward procedure in the hands of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. Typically, the incisions are healed in 1-2 weeks but no sexual intercourse is recommended for 6 weeks. In my experience, the amount of discomfort... more

Reduction of the Labia Majora?

It is no problem to reduce the size of either the labia majora or minora. However, I have found that frequently the majora is fine and the real problem is with the minora. Frequently a woman just doesn't like the looks of her labia and is not sure what it is that she doesn't like. Go in for an evaluation by an experienced plastic surgeon. He or she will assist you to your analysis.Good Luck.

Labiaplasty for labia majora

Labia majora reduction can be done to reduce the excess tissue. A physical exam will show whether there is excess skin and fat, or whether it is just fat.

Labia majora reduction - recovery and pain...

In my experience, patients who undergo labia majora reduction seem to experience a similar post-op course as compared to those who have undergone labia minora labiaplasty. In both cases, provided the surgeon is skilled and careful with his technique, patients have bothersome discomfort for the first 2 - 3 days, followed by daily improvement. The time away from work or school is usually 3 - 5 days. Labia majora reduction is a good procedure, and patients are usually very pleased afterward... more

Labiaplasty for Labia Majora

Indeed Labiaplasty can be used to reduce the size of not only the Labia Minora but also the Labia Majora. Labiaplasty, which most commonly involves surgical reduction of the labia minora (inner/thinner lips) but not infrequently the Labia Majora as well, has become a relatively common procedure over the last ten and even more so last five years.
