Versatile Techniques for Your Unique Needs
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to reshape and reduce the size of the labia minora (inner lips) and/or labia majora (outer lips) of the vagina. This type of vaginal rejuvenation focuses on improving the aesthetic appearance and comfort of the external female genitalia (as distinguished from vaginoplasty, which addresses the vaginal canal).
While labiaplasty is considered a cosmetic surgery, it can also have functional benefits. Women may opt for labiaplasty for a variety of reasons, including discomfort during physical activities, irritation, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their labia. The primary goal of labiaplasty is to create a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance while also alleviating any functional issues.
Labiaplasty Surgical Techniques
Labiaplasty techniques can vary depending on the patient's anatomy and goals. Any of the following surgical methods may be employed in labiaplasty to address the patient's specific needs:
- Trim Procedure: Also known as labia minora reduction, the trim procedure removes excess labial tissue from the edges of the labia minora.
- Central Wedge Resection: Also known as the wedge procedure, central wedge resection involves removing a central portion of the labia minora and reattaching the natural edges to preserve their natural contours.
- De-epithelialization: Removes the outer layer of tissue while preserving the underlying structures.
- Labia Majora Reduction: Labia majora reduction, or labial reduction, Reduces the size and reshapes the labia majora by removing excess skin and tissue.
- Clitoral Hood Reduction: Reduces the size of the clitoral hood to enhance aesthetic appearance and sensitivity.
- Composite Reduction: Combines multiple techniques to address both the labia minora and majora and sometimes the clitoral hood, for a comprehensive approach.

Every woman's anatomy and needs are unique. We offer a range of vaginal rejuvenation techniques that can be tailored to specific needs. The following procedures may be performed in combination with labiaplasty to help you achieve your individual goals.
CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION
Clitoral hood reduction is a surgical procedure aimed at decreasing excess tissue around the hood of the clitoris to enhance aesthetic appearance and potentially improve sexual sensitivity. By removing the redundant tissue, the procedure can make the clitoris more accessible and reduce discomfort during physical activities or intercourse.
G SPOT ENHANCEMENT
G Spot enhancement , also known as G Shot, involves the injection of a filler into the G Spot area to enhance sexual pleasure and increase sensitivity. This minimally invasive procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and can provide enhanced sexual arousal and satisfaction for several months.
VAGINOPLASTY
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and rejuvenate the vaginal canal by removing excess tissue and reinforcing the surrounding muscles. This procedure can address issues such as vaginal laxity, often resulting from childbirth or aging, and can enhance both sexual satisfaction and overall vaginal function.
