Reducing the size of labia minora with surgery vs office procedure
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a procedure that can reduce a woman’s labia minora when it is elongated or exhibits an irregular shape. This condition is caused by genetics, natural aging, childbirth, pregnancy, or an injury. We offer surgical labiaplasty as well as minimally invasive office procedure Aviva to help.
Surgical labiaplasty
Surgical labiaplasty decreases the size of the labia minora to create a symmetrical look, improve personal hygiene, and eliminate discomfort during sexual intercourse or exercise.
Common Goals of Labiaplasty Include:
- Improve symmetry of the labia minora
- Improve personal hygiene
- Enhance patient self-confidence
What are the Benefits of Labiaplasty?
There are many benefits, including improved comfort while you exercise, engage in sexual activity, and while wearing tight clothing and underwear. You may find that chafing and irritation is reduced, and confidence is increased.
This procedure certainly is beneficial physically and functionally, but the benefits extend beyond feeling more comfortable in your body and more confident about the appearance of one of the most intimate areas of your body. Many women report feeling a dramatic improvement with less discomfort and self-consciousness.
What to Expect with Labiaplasty?
Typically, patients can expect to heal after around two weeks when the swelling and bruising goes down. Apply a cold compress or ice pack over the treated area (if needed) to minimize inflammation. You should not have sexual activity or use tampons for at least 6 weeks following your procedure. Patients generally notice visible results in six weeks and final results about six months following the procedure. The outcome is long lasting , however; however, natural aging, significant weight fluctuations, and childbirth can impact your result.
REAL PATIENT RESULTS

AVIVA
Aviva is a non-surgical alternative to a labiaplasty that can be done in the office. Through a tiny incision point, radiofrequency heat is used to cause tissue contraction of the labia. Final reduction in size is apparent in 12 weeks. The right patient is any woman who is looking to improve her feminine health, overall comfort and boost confidence when it comes to intimacy by addressing the appearance of the labia.
