Would I benefit from labiaplasty? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to meet with you in person for a consultation to make sure you're a great candidate for this procedure. I recommend scheduling with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to help you reach your goals and create a surgical plan for you!

Hello and thank you for your question!
The success of every surgery, and the perceived "help," are linked to your underlying medical status, your specific goals and the surgeon's knowledge and experience with the procedure.
The primary reason women seek labiaplasty in my office is related to lengthening of the labia minora and the secondary issues associated with this, including: discomfort related to excessive folding, bulging, moisture, hygiene, appearance. All of these factors can be relieved to some extent by reducing the length/bulkiness of the labia minora.
Darker pigmentation is part and parcel of the labia minora and some of that is usually reduced with the procedure but not necessarily all of it.
The clitoral hood is an integral part of a woman's femininity and sexual health. Not only does the area house thousands of nerve endings but it also provides lubrication and protection of the clitoris which can become de-senstized without protection. The details of what exactly you are hoping to achieve with a hood reduction should be reserved for your chosen provider.
Hope that all helps!
In good health,
Ellen Mahony, MD
