What is a labiaplasty of the labia majora?
Labiaplasty of the Labia Majora, also known as a labia reduction, is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the female genital area.
Labia majora, or outer lips, refers to the hair bearing skin and tissue between the labia minora and the thighs. Certain individuals are uncomfortable with their labia majora due their large size or appearance. Large labia majora can also lead to discomfort during certain activities such as cycling. The objective of this procedure is to excise the excess labia majora tissue.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Labia Majora Plastic Surgery?
Ideal candidates for this procedure include individuals who feel their labia majora are too large or hang down. The procedure can also help those who experience discomfort with certain activities such as cycling or during intercourse.
Labia majora is not to be confused with the labia minora, or the inner lips (please refer to labiaplasty of the labia minora for more details).

Labiaplasty of the labia majora is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and normally takes no more than one hour to complete.
