Who Is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Comments · 3 Views

In people assigned female at birth, there is a vulva- the visible part of the genitalia

which most people call the vagina. Vulva comprises the labia, clitoris, vaginal opening, and urethral opening. The labia aka vaginal lips are the skin folds around the vaginal opening. The outer lip is called the labia majora and the inner lip is called the labia minora. 

Labiaplasty is a surgery to horizontally and/or vertically reduce the labia minora that hangs below the labia majora and even shorten the clitoral hood. There are two surgical techniques to perform Labiaplasty Surgery in Mumbai - the trim technique and the wedge incision technique. The surgery is recommended to improve the physical and emotional well-being of women who have discomfort or dissatisfaction with the labia appearance.

Here are the signs that indicate the need for a labiaplasty:

  • ‘Long’ or ‘enlarged’ labia that causes chaffing, irritation, and rubbing at times of many physical activities, wearing tight clothing, or sexual intercourse and even impact appearance

  • ‘Uneven’ or ‘asymmetrical’ labia which make one feel conscious and even physically uncomfortable 

  • Disfigured labia caused by an injury or trauma

  • Excess or sagging labia tissue due to significant weight loss or aging.

A good candidate for labiaplasty is the one who is:

  • At least 18 years old and feeling discomfort while sitting, exercising, riding a bike, or having sex

  • Having tears in the labia post-childbirth and finished with childbearing

  • Wanting to improve the size, shape, and appearance of labia for herself and not for the sake of others

  • Physically and mentally fit for undergoing the surgery

  • Having realistic expectations from the surgery outcomes

  • Acceptance of the limitations of the surgery

  • Willing to quit intake of tobacco and nicotine products

  • Ready to restrict medication intake/use or make changes before and after the surgery as a precautionary measure.

The best way to confirm the candidacy for labiaplasty is to speak to a gynecologist with a specialization in surgical procedures.
