Reshapes or reduces the labia minora, the inner folds at the vaginal opening, usually to ease discomfort from tugging, twisting, or irritation, or to change appearance.
Labiaplasty is surgery to reduce or reshape the labia minora, most often because excess tissue causes discomfort during exercise, cycling, or intercourse, irritation from clothing, or hygiene difficulty, or because of appearance concerns. It is an outpatient procedure that usually takes about one hour, under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and patients go home the same day. It is sometimes combined with clitoral hood reduction or other intimate procedures, which changes the total recovery.
After marking the tissue to be removed, the surgeon trims or reshapes the labia minora and closes the edges with dissolvable stitches, which are typically gone by three to four weeks. The specific incision pattern depends on anatomy and goals, and is chosen at consultation. No tissue is added, and removed tissue does not grow back, so conservative planning matters more than maximal reduction.
Trim technique. Excess tissue is removed along the outer edge of the labium and the new edge is sutured. It is the more common and simpler approach, allows accurate reduction of large labia, and often allows a quicker recovery, but it removes the natural darker edge and the scar line becomes the new border. Wedge technique. A V-shaped segment is removed from the thickest part of the labium and the remaining edges are joined, preserving the natural border and pigmentation, with the scar sitting inside the labium. It requires more measurement and design, and healing problems, including wound separation, are reported as more likely with this technique than with trim. Related procedures. Labia majora reduction, for the outer folds, and clitoral hood reduction, for excess skin over the clitoris, are separate procedures often done at the same time. Energy devices do not remove labial tissue and are not a substitute for surgical labiaplasty.

There is no single fixed charge for labiaplasty, and this guide does not publish prices: the written quote you receive at consultation is the binding figure.
Factors that commonly move the total include the surgeon's experience, the facility type (office procedure suite, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital), the type and length of anesthesia, the complexity of the surgical plan, whether other procedures are combined in the same operation, garments and follow-up visits, and the revision terms. Ask for an itemized written quote that states exactly what is included, and what would cost extra if a revision or an overnight stay became necessary.
Expect swelling, bruising, and soreness in the first days, with swelling peaking at two to three days and then subsiding gradually over the following weeks; residual swelling can take up to six months to fully resolve. Plan about a week off work, with a return to a normal routine typically in one to two weeks and to a full active lifestyle in two to four weeks. Intercourse and tampon use are typically avoided for four to six weeks, and some guidance advises waiting at least six weeks — do not resume until cleared by your surgeon. Cold compresses, loose clothing, and rest in the first days help manage swelling and discomfort.
Risks include bleeding, fluid collections, infection, scarring, asymmetry, and wound separation, where the incision edges come apart, which is more likely with wedge resection. Over-resection — removing too much tissue — is identified as the most common labiaplasty complication; it can cause chronic dryness, irritation, and pain during intercourse, and is difficult to correct because removed tissue cannot be replaced. Under-resection, contour irregularity or notching, temporary sensation changes, persistent pain, and dissatisfaction with the result are also possible, and revision surgery is more difficult than the original procedure because less tissue remains to work with.
