Your Journey To A More Confident You.

Enlargement of the inner vaginal lips, or labia minora, is a medical condition known as labial hypertrophy, which affects many women. The labia may become elongated or stretched out due to hormonal changes or because of the process of one or more vaginal deliveries. In some cases, the labia is very asymmetrical with one labia being much larger than the other one. Regardless of the cause, this condition can be corrected through labial contouring surgery. The labial contouring procedure, also known as labiaplasty, can also be completed in conjunction with other procedures if necessary, such as vaginoplasty (repairing vaginal relaxation that may occur after child-birth), perineoplasty (repair of a relaxed perineal body or restoring the normal tone of the opening of the vagina), laparoscopic reconstructive procedures, or even vaginal hysterectomy.

Dr. Lazare is a gifted surgeon, who was patient and listened to every concern that I had. When I left, I felt that we were on the same page and that my surgery would be a success. I was right! I could not be more delighted with the results of my surgery. I would not hesitate to refer Dr. Lazare to anyone I know or met. If I could give him more stars I would!

What to expect with labiaplasty contouring

The labial contouring procedure is designed to reduce uneven or enlarged labia minora without leaving any visible scars. Our plastic surgeons do not amputate the enlarged labia, instead, they contour, reshape and reduce the size of the labia, without creating a scar on the outer edges leaving the labia with their natural pigmentation and a more youthful appearance. Depending on your needs, techniques are available to contour and sculpt the labia minora and inner vaginal lips or tightening the labia majora and outer vaginal lips.

Labiaplasty contouring results

You will have a labia that is sleeker and more symmetrical. Cosmetic labial contouring results in a rejuvenated appearance of the vagina, as well as greater comfort and enhanced sexual experience. Results will be noticeable shortly after the surgery, with optimal results appearing within a few months.
