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: 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: Abnormal Labia Thank you for your question, one that I get on a daily basis! Yes, you are correct, something doesn't look normal. More importantly, it doesn't look normal to YOU. It doesn't matter what I, or other physicians tell you, you will always feel uncomfortable in tight clothing and with intimacy. I once saw a patient avoid sex for 30 years because her gynecologist told her that she was normal and made her feel ashamed for asking. If you were my patient, I'd ask you: "How would you like to look like?", "What exactly are you unhappy with?". I would show you Before and After photos of other women with similar anatomy to yours so you can see what your options are and what you could potentially look like. As a board certified Urogynecologist and experienced Cosmetic Vaginal Surgeon I have performed over 1000 vaginal rejuvenation procedures on patients from all over the U.S. and the world. These procedures include labiaplasty of the labia minora, labiaplasty of the labia majora, clitoral hood reduction, perineoplasty, vaginoplasty, and revisions of botched labiaplasties. You should seek out the most experienced cosmetic vaginal surgeon in your area and if you can't find one then you should be willing to travel. This is the most important decision of your life!In these photos I don't see your vagina, but I do see large labia and hood which is what you refer to as flaps, I believe. Technically you have labial hypertrophy and asymmetry as well as bilateral redundant lateral prepuce which adds volume and length to your hood and labia. I would recommend a clitoral hood reduction with possible lifting and laser reduction labaplasty of the labia minora. A wedge resection of the labia minora would not address the redundant hood and thus lead to a suboptimal result. This would be performed in the privacy of my office under local anesthesia. I also see loose looking labia majora. These could be made to look tighter and fuller if you wish. Radiofrequency skin tightening of the labia majora would be a nice option in reducing the loose skin appearance. This is non-surgical and would require multiple visits and then annual maintenance. If you want additional volume then we could fill the labia majora with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) which would allow your own fat cells to regenerate and thus add volume over time. PRP is obtained from a simple blood draw and may be performed at the time of your Labiaplasty.Please look at link below.

Answer: Is there a Loose skin ? I can say that your inner labial folds are not symmetric. Actually, this is common , because our left and right side in our body might be different in size. The enlarged tissue is not the loose skin, it is the inner labia. Also the prepuce which is the skin around the clitoris is bigger in the same side. You may have one side removal labioplasty and prepuce reduction of the same side. We do labioplasty for symptomatic labial hypertrophies and also for increasing the women's self esteem. But if you are comfortable it is ok, because there is not a clear definition of normal labia minoras. if the labia minor's measurement is more than 2 cm we may consider is as big. All the best.

Answer: Labial laxity You should not feel ashamed. You anatomy is normal but as with all areas of our body, it is unique to you. However, labial revision can be done if you are having trouble with how clothes fit, discomfort with intimacy, etc..
