What is a Labiaplasty?
Of all forms of vaginal rejuvenation, labiaplasty is the most common. Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess tissue to reduce the size of the labia minora and/or majora in order to make them smaller or more symmetrical. Known as labia hypertrophy, this condition can be caused by genetics or can result from natural childbirth.
While some women choose to undergo labiaplasty due to irritation and discomfort caused by enlarged labia—which makes it difficult to ride a bicycle, horse or even perform day-to-day activities—others may choose it for purely cosmetic reasons.
Although labiaplasty can be performed on both the inner and outer labia, it’s most commonly done on the inner labia to shorten their length, so they don’t hang below the outer. By using the “Beverly Hills” technique, your San Diego plastic surgeon will remove a wedge of the labia minora. This method minimizes scarring and offers a quick recovery time
