Hello, I'm curious to know what causes my labia to hang out so much and what I can do about it? It seems to be getting worse and I'm worried it's because I've had a lot of sex partners. A number of men have already commented on my vagina feeling loose and it is making me very insecure. Do you recommend labiaplasty?
Answer: Why do you have long labia minora? Labia minora come in all shapes and sizes. Just like noses, ears, and anything else. However, long labia can get dragged by clothing, sex, and activities and get even longer and bothersome. The number of men that you wish to please is irrelevant because their opinions are irrelevant. The decision to reduce the size should be yours alone. I don't recommend labiaplasty unless you want shorter labia. And you shouldn't request labiaplasty unless you're doing it for yourself because the results are permanent. Your next step should be a consultation with an expert to discuss your expectations.

Answer: Yes, I recommend a labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction with clitoropexy. Hello Ashley, You have very long, thick and hanging labia with a large, droopy hood. You would benefit greatly from labiaplasty and hood reduction which would oimprove your confidence but not your looseness. If you haven't had any vaginal deliveries then there are great non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments that would enhance your sexual pleasure. If you're very loose then a vaginoplasty may be necessary. The key in determining what is best for you though, is finding the right surgeon and for this you may need to travel. Go to the link below to see hundreds of B/A photos with this combination of procedures. You will likely find some examples that are quite similar to you. From that link you may schedule a virtual consult via phone or zoom, at which time we can discuss in-depth your anatomy, expectations, and concerns. Women from all over the world travel to my Center for their Intimate Makeover under local anesthesia. Best of luck,

Answer: What can be done about pertruding labia Thank you for your question Labia come in all sizes and shapes and there is no standard for normal.To understand what can be done you need to be aware that there are actually two paid of inner labia-a lower pair that inserts into the clitoris and an upper pair that forms the hood called prepuce that can enter into and even overwhelm the lower pair. This is what I see in your photo. Yes both of these can be reduced by an experienced and well trained surgeon. Be careful and do your homework . The video noted below on what you should know about labiaplasty can be very helpful Also to note: the size of your labia has nothing to do with vaginal looseness

Answer: Labiaplasty Hello,Thank you for your question. I would like to firstly say that any surgical procedure, particularly a cosmetic one, should be for yourself and yourself only.... please disregard what anyone has said regarding your anatomy. They are not worth your time!Should you decide to undergo a cosmetic procedure for your labia, I would recommend at least a labiaplasty as well as a clitoral hood reduction to decrease the size of the lateral prepuce. A labiaplasty alone would not give you the aesthetic appearance you are likely looking for.Hope that helps!, and take care.Sincerely,Jennifer Adams, MD, FRCSC

Answer: Labiaplasty for labia minora It’s natural for the labia minora to be saggy and bulky, as there is a wide variation of what is considered “normal” when it comes to the female genitalia. Some women find that things change after having children, or with age. However, the labia minora doesn’t stretch out by having lots of sex. Protruding labia minora can be reduced in shape and size with labiaplasty. This surgical procedure will remove excess tissue to make the labia minora less prominent. The labia minora doesn’t affect the “tightness” of the vaginal canal, therefore labiaplasty would not improve this issue. If you are concerned about that, vaginoplasty is a more suitable procedure. You can also try kegel exercises.
