Labiaplasty - surgery to reduce the size of the labia minora
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the labia minora. This surgery alleviates discomfort from enlarged or extended labia and enhances the aesthetic appearance, boosting body confidence. Many patients opt for labiaplasty to improve their genital area’s look and feel, leading to increased self-esteem. If you’re self-conscious about the size, asymmetry, or protrusion of your labia minora, or experience discomfort during activities such as exercise or sexual intercourse, labiaplasty might be the right choice for you.

What is Labiaplasty?
The labia minora are the inner folds of skin that protect the urethral opening and vaginal canal. These skin folds vary in size among individuals, but some may find their labia minora extending past the labia majora, leading to irritation and self-consciousness. Labiaplasty addresses these concerns by removing excess tissue to create a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing contour.
Types of Labiaplasty
There are two primary labiaplasty techniques: edge and wedge methods.
- Edge Labiaplasty: Dr. Suren Sahakyan removes tissue from the outer edge of the labia minora, altering the outer border while reducing overall size.
- Wedge Labiaplasty: A small triangular wedge of tissue is removed from the inside of the labia minora, preserving the natural border while reducing the length.
Dr. Sahakyan will help you choose the best method based on your anatomy and cosmetic goals.
Benefits of Labiaplasty
- Labia Size Reduction: Reduces discomfort, tugging, or pinching during physical activities.
- Improved Hygiene: Shorter labia are easier to clean, reducing the risk of bacterial infections and UTIs.
- Enhanced Symmetry: Corrects asymmetry, improving the overall appearance of the vulva.
- Increased Comfort: Boosts confidence and comfort during intimacy and daily activities.
Ideal Candidates for Labiaplasty
Ideal candidates are in good health, experience discomfort from their labia minora, and have realistic expectations about the procedure. Those with underlying medical conditions that could interfere with recovery should discuss these with Dr. Sahakyan. Smokers will need to quit at least a month before surgery.

Preparing for Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty Procedure
The procedure begins with anesthesia to ensure comfort. Dr. Sahakyan then makes precise incisions, avoiding important nerves and blood vessels. The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours, with sutures placed carefully to achieve the desired results.
Recovery & Results
Post-surgery, expect a few days of downtime. Avoid strenuous activities, vigorous exercise, and sexual intimacy for 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling, light bleeding, and discoloration may occur but usually subside within a few weeks. Follow all post-operative instructions for optimal results. Final results are typically visible after 4 to 6 months, with the labia minora appearing shorter and more structured.
