Labiaplasty in Mumbai
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips), the labia majora (outer vaginal lips), or both. Often sought to address discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or physical limitations, labiaplasty can improve both the appearance and comfort of the labia for individuals affected by asymmetry, excess tissue, or irritation.
Procedure Overview
Labiaplasty typically involves the removal of excess tissue from the labia, sculpting it for a more symmetrical and streamlined appearance. The surgeon makes incisions along the labia’s natural contours to minimise visible scarring. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique needs, with options for partial reduction (trimming only the excess tissue) or complete contouring of both labia minora and labia majora.
- Comfort and Functionality While enhancing appearance, labiaplasty can also reduce discomfort caused by excess labial tissue during activities such as exercise or intercourse.
- Personalised Procedure The approach and extent of labiaplasty can be adjusted based on individual preferences and goals.
- Recovery Proper rest and adherence to aftercare instructions are essential for optimal healing.
Types of Labiaplasty Procedures
- Labia Minora Reduction This procedure reduces the size of the inner vaginal lips, often alleviating discomfort caused by excess tissue and achieving a more symmetrical look.
- Labia Majora Reduction Focused on the outer vaginal lips, labia majora reduction can provide a more balanced and proportionate appearance, especially if the outer lips are enlarged or asymmetrical.
- Clitoral Hood Reduction Often performed alongside labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction minimises excess tissue around the clitoris for improved aesthetics and comfort.

What to Expect During the Procedure
Labiaplasty is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and patient preference. The procedure generally lasts 1-2 hours, during which the surgeon carefully removes or reshapes excess labial tissue to meet the desired aesthetic and functional outcome. Clitoral hood reduction may also be performed for comprehensive results.
