It has always been annoying for me and rubs on clothing etc.. No one else has seen it before so i'm not sure if my labia is abnormally large or within range of being normal. I'm 19 and looking for options to make it slimmer if possible. Thanks.
Answer: Do I have procedure options to shorten my labia? Hi and thank you for your question. First and most importantly, your labia are normal. We all have body parts that are in some way different from everyone else, but that doesn't mean we are abnormal by any means. If as in your situation, the labia minora are causing pain or discomfort, especially rubbing on clothes that are tight fitting, there are ways to help you- ie shortening the labia with a labiaplasty. Many patients are very satisfied after that procedure in terms of their improvement and comfort in clothing. Be sure to find an experienced surgeon. Best wishes,Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh

Answer: Procedure options to shorten labia Thank you for your questionThere are several techniques to reduce the size if your labia. The three most common are the trim, central wedge and natural edge. The wedge can leave a horizontal scar and create defects from blood supply issues. The trim can give nice appearances but, you have beautiful natural edges so you are an excellent candidate for the natural edge technique ( In this technique, the upper natural edge is preserved, the excess below is removed and that upper edge becomes the entire petite natural looking labia.) The prepuce should also be addressed for optimum results. The video below will give a lot of info regarding these procedures. Do your homework, pick your surgeon carefully looking at reviews and before and after photos.

Answer: Labiaplasty procedure Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the pictures that you provided, you appear to have enlarged and elongated inner lips (labia minora). I would recommend a Labiaplasty procedure in order to reduce the length and the width of your labia minora which will help achieve the look you desire. It will also make wearing tight clothes more comfortable. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon specializing in Labiaplasty to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Do I have procedure options to shorten my labia? HI Isabella,. First of all, there is nothing abnormal about you at all. Your labia is a bit long, but it is not abnormal. Some people may have small breast or big ears, but they are not abnormal. They have a body part that they do not like, just as you do not like your labia. You certainly could have a reduction labiaplasty , if you want. There are 2 types of labiaplasty: either a trim technique or a wedge procedure. I would suggest that you visit with either a plastic surgeon or urogynecologist in your area who does many of these procedures to get a physical exam and a detailed discussion of what procedure is best for you. These procedures can be done in an office setting and patients typically go home shortly after the procedure is finished. Best of all, there is very little scarring , if the procedure is done correctly. Again, visit with a few docs in your area to discuss your concerns and goals. Best Wishes, Dr. Christine Rodgers
