I noticed that my labia minora has a scalloped edge now that didn't exist before. it could be from giving birth naturally and aging. is there something that can be done to make the edges smooth again without reducing the size. my labia minora is small and doesnt need reduction.

If suturing is needed , the technique of suturing can affect the smoothness of the appearance.

Hello, depending on normal birth and age, this may be the scalloped appearance you are talking about. To correct this, it is necessary to surgically remove only the scallop section at the outermost part of the lips, without shortening them as small as possible.

Yes, it is possible to smooth the edges of your labia minora out with surgery. Your labia minora would most likely remain the same size. This is a procedure that should be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in labiaplasty.

You need to post a photo or share a photo privately. Labia minora edges can be smooth by either small skin excisions or small skin ablations. The goal is to reduce the high points to match the low points to create an even contour.
