Answer: What do normal labia look like? Thank you for your question. Because all women are unique in their features, there is no “normal” definition for labia. Labia can vary significantly in thickness, color, length, and symmetry. Your pictures appear healthy and youthful. Often, patients request a labiaplasty when their labia interfere with activities such as exercise or wearing specific clothing. Large labia can cause chaffing or trapping of the labia limiting those activities. Other reasons for requesting a labiaplasty include feeling insecure with intimacy or because of changes with age and loss of a youthful appearance. These are all acceptable reasons. Should you decide to pursue a labiaplasty, I highly recommend that you identify a surgeon that is trained in vaginal reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Not all plastic surgeons or gynecologists have specialized training in these procedures and is not one to take lightly when choosing your surgeon.Peter Castillo, MDCosmetic and Reconstructive Vaginal SurgeonLos Gatos, CA

Answer: Normal Labia Labia vary significantly and can even be different from one side compared to the other. In general it is thought that the labia minor(inner labia) shouldn't protrude past the labia majora (outer). When they are larger they can rub together and cause discomfort during exercising, sexual activity and make women self conscious in tight fitting pants. The procedure can improve these functional problems and the aesthetic component. There are many techniques but I typically prefer the central wedge excision with or without a clitoral hood reduction. This is not a one size fits all operation. It can be done in the office under local anesthesia or surgery center. It's difficult to tell based on your photos but it does appear that you have some labia minor hypertrophy. If it is functionally or aesthetically concerning to you I would advice you to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with this procedure.

Answer: Labiaplasty procedure From the pictures, it appears that you have excess labia minora tissue. A labiaplasty will remove this tissue excess. I perform these under local anesthesia (or light sedation if desired) in my on-site surgical center. Takes about an hour. Back to work in a few days, and back to full recovery in 4 weeks. Sutures will dissolve on their own.

Answer: Variety is normal You have a normal labial area that looks youthful and healthy. Like faces, no two labia minora are identical. As long as you have no functional problems, I would not do anything. However, if you want smaller inner lips, a short procedure can reduce the size and make them more even. Most people are scared to have sex for the first time so the size and shape of your vulva/vagina/labia area are the least of your worries. However, if after you are sexually active, you notice pain or difficulty with the lips getting in the way, speak with an experienced gynecologist or plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Labial enlargement This is very subjective, as there is a wide range of "normal" size labia. Labiaplasty surgery is an option if the size of your labia bothers you in appearance or if it causes you discomfort. You can read more about labiaplasty surgery at the link below.
