What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia, most commonly the labia minora—the inner folds of tissue surrounding the vaginal opening. In some cases, the outer lips, or labia majora, may also be addressed. Women may seek labiaplasty due to congenital asymmetry, changes caused by aging or childbirth, or functional concerns such as discomfort during physical activity or intimacy.

The goal of labiaplasty is not only to improve the appearance of the vulvar area but also to enhance comfort, hygiene, and self-esteem. While every woman's anatomy is unique, and labial tissue naturally varies in size and shape, labiaplasty offers a way to address aesthetic or physical concerns that interfere with daily life.

Benefits of Labiaplasty

Many women choose labiaplasty to address both cosmetic and functional issues. Some of the most commonly reported benefits include:

Improved Comfort: Reduces chafing, irritation, and discomfort during exercise, sex, or while wearing tight clothing.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Creates a smoother, more balanced appearance of the labia.
Boost in Confidence: Helps women feel more confident and secure in intimate settings and while wearing swimsuits or form-fitting clothing.
Better Hygiene: Smaller labia can be easier to keep clean, reducing the risk of infections or discomfort.
Restoration After Childbirth: Addresses changes in labial shape or symmetry that can result from vaginal delivery or trauma.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Good candidates for labiaplasty are women who are experiencing physical or emotional discomfort due to the size, shape, or asymmetry of their labia. Many patients have lived with these concerns for years, often avoiding certain clothing or activities due to embarrassment or irritation. Others may have experienced changes due to aging, childbirth, or hormonal shifts that have affected the appearance of their genital area.

Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers (or willing to stop), and have realistic expectations for what the surgery can achieve. It's also important to wait until the body has fully matured, as hormonal development during puberty can influence labial tissue. While labiaplasty does not impact fertility or sexual function in most cases, a candid discussion with your surgeon will help determine if this is the right choice for your goals.

At your consultation at The Maas Clinic™, you'll meet with one of our experienced plastic surgeons to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history.

What to Expect During Your Labiaplasty Procedure in San Francisco

Labiaplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort and the complexity of the surgery. The procedure usually takes one to two hours.

The most common technique used is the trim method, in which excess labial tissue is carefully removed and the remaining edges are sutured for a neat, natural look. Another option, the wedge method, preserves the natural edge of the labia by removing a V-shaped wedge of tissue from the center.

Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals. Once the excess tissue is removed and the area reshaped, dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions. You'll be monitored for a short time after surgery and then released to recover at home with detailed aftercare instructions.

What Is the Recovery Like?

Most patients find the recovery process after labiaplasty to be manageable with proper care. You may experience swelling, mild discomfort, and bruising for several days following surgery. Cold compresses, prescribed pain medication, and rest can ease discomfort.

Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity, exercise, and sexual intercourse for at least four to six weeks. Walking and light movement are encouraged after the first few days to promote circulation and healing.

Swelling can take several weeks to fully resolve, but most women feel comfortable returning to work and non-strenuous daily activities within five to seven days. The majority of healing takes place within the first month, and final results will continue to improve over the next few months as tissues settle and scars fade.

Wearing loose clothing, maintaining good hygiene, and following all post-operative instructions are essential for ensuring optimal healing and minimizing the risk of complications.

How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?

The cost of labiaplasty in San Francisco can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, the surgical technique used, and whether it is combined with other treatments. On average, pricing may range from $4,000 to $7,500. Your consultation will include a personalized cost estimate based on your unique needs and goals.

Will I lose sensitivity after labiaplasty?

Most women retain normal sensation after surgery. While temporary numbness is common during healing, permanent changes in sensitivity are rare when performed by a skilled surgeon.

Can labiaplasty affect my ability to give birth?

No, labiaplasty does not interfere with fertility or childbirth. However, many surgeons recommend waiting until after childbearing to undergo the procedure, as pregnancy may affect the results.

Is labiaplasty only for cosmetic reasons?

Not at all. Many women seek labiaplasty to relieve physical discomfort caused by excess tissue during exercise, intercourse, or daily activities. The procedure can be both functional and cosmetic.

Will there be visible scarring?

Incisions are placed in discreet areas and sutured with great care. Scars are typically minimal and fade significantly over time, often becoming virtually undetectable.

Can I combine labiaplasty with other procedures?

Yes, labiaplasty is often combined with other rejuvenation treatments, such as clitoral hood reduction, vaginoplasty, or even nonsurgical procedures. Your surgeon can guide you in planning a comprehensive treatment plan.

How long do the results last?

Results from labiaplasty are long-lasting and typically permanent. While normal aging and hormonal changes may cause subtle changes over time, most patients enjoy lasting improvements in comfort and confidence.
