Labiaplasty is the surgical cutting or removal of labia minora (smaller lips) or labia majora (larger lips) tissue from a woman’s vulva region. This procedure is usually done for aesthetic purposes. Sometimes women are physically uncomfortable or have labia minora tissue protruding. The labiaplasty procedure can change the size and shape of the lips as desired by the woman. This procedure always carries risks, so potential patients should learn enough about the labiaplasty procedure and talk to the surgeon.
