Am I a candidate for labiaplasty or other procedures to improve comfort?

If you are uncomfortable with your labia then you are a candidate for labiaplasty. There are several methodologies available and you need to do your homework to get the result you most desire.Understand your anatomy. There are actually two pair of inner labia. There is a lower pair that inserts into the clitoris and an upper pair, called prepuce, that forms the hood, that can enter and significantly involve the lower pair. This is present in your photos. The upper pair should be reduced and taken off the lower pair to give a bridge of the nose appearance and free up the lower pair before addressing the reduction of the lower pair which can be performed by various methods. The appearance of your labial edges lends itself to the natural edge technique but can be trimmed. I advise avoiding central wedge techniques. The video below can be helpful to understand these options. Be careful to research your surgeon looking at their before and after photos and look at their reviews. Better to get it right the first time.

It's completely valid to seek solutions for physical discomfort related to your labia and surrounding anatomy. If your labia minora cause irritation or pain during sex or physical activity, this may be due to excess tissue or friction, and a labiaplasty can be considered for functional relief rather than cosmetic reasons. Loss of volume can sometimes occur due to genetics, weight loss, or hormonal factors; this may be improved with dermal fillers to restore cushioning and reduce friction. As for the stretched perineum, this could potentially be addressed through a perineoplasty, which tightens and reinforces the area for both structural and functional support. Consulting with a board-certified gynecologic specialist can help you explore the safest, most effective options tailored to your comfort and anatomy without pressure to change your appearance if that’s not your goal.

If your labia minora, the inner lips, are getting dragged during sex or other activities, because they are elongated, then reducing their size with labiaplasty will reduce that dragging discomfort significantly. It's one of the most common reasons that women seek these procedures. Labiaplasty will certainly change the appearance of the inner lips regardless of the reason for doing it. You certainly will care that the new appearance looks appealing and not botched so make sure that you seek out an expert who delivers high quality results.

Hi Beautiful669263!
Thank you for reaching out. I’m proud of you for self advocating for your intimatecomfort. You deserve to feel pleasure during intimacy and confidently comfortableduring other physical activities.
First, I’d like to let you know that you’re not alone. I have treated thousands of womenwith the exact same complaint. In fact, over 90 percent of our patients connect withLabiaplasty Center of Los Angeles not for aesthetics, but for comfort.
Now, let’s get into the specifics of your question.
What I’m hearing is that your labia minora may extend beyond your labia majora,causing friction and/or pinching and pulling during intercourse. I’m also hearing that yourlabia majora has lost volume and that your perineum has stretched.
You don’t mention if you have been pregnant or lost significant weight, but both of thesecan be the cause of the volume loss and stretching.
Below, I’m going to address the most common solutions for the concerns you cite here.
Treatment for volume loss in the labia majora: Labia Majoraplsty because typically the fat volume is present but laxity of the skin hides it.
Treatment for stretched perineum: Perineoplasty to tighten the opening.
Treatment for extended labia minora: Labiaplasty, or - more specifically - labiaminoraplasty, can help the labia minora go from an “outie” to an “innie,” meaning thatpost surgery, your labia minora can nestle into - and be covered by - your labia minora.This reduces irritation from clothing and physical activities while also reducing thelikelihood of any pinching or pulling during intercourse. I hope I have answered your questions. You deserve to feel good in your body!

This procedure can be done to improve your comfort during exercise as well as intercourse. There are anatomical limitations and patient dependent factors to take into consideration.

In order to obtain your goals, which are reasonable, an in-person preoperative consutlation is very important. Once these goals are understood, they can be obtained surgically in the O.R.
