Could a labiaplasty help fix my asymmetry? (Photo)

Labia Minora asymmetry is normal and extremely common. Many women are not bothered this and that is great. However, there are some women with asymmetry that seek labiaplasty due to aesthetic (appearance) and/ or functional concerns (rubbing in clothing or while exercising etc.). Genital anatomy is extremely variable, and in many situations a unilateral labiaplasty can be performed to reduce the excess tissue of the labia minora on the larger side to achieve better symmetry. If the woman is happy with the contralateral labia minora shape and size, then a unilateral labiaplasty can be performed. If they feel that the contralateral side is too large or dislikes the shape, a bilateral labiaplasty can often better address their concerns. It is important to understand however that it is not possible to achieve perfect symmetry- even in the best circumstances there will be some residual asymmetry.

Thank you for your inquiry! Labiaplasty can be not only performed for aesthetic purposes but also for functionality. I recommend scheduling a consult with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to create a surgical plan with the goal of creating symmetry and providing you with aesthetically pleasing results.

Hi supergirlpro! It is not uncommon to have asymmetry between your labia minora. It is definitely a possibility to have a one sided labiaplasty to make them more symmetric. Cost is most likely going to be slightly less because it is less time. I would recommend consulting with board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss the risks and complications and make sure you understand the expectations. I hope this helps!
