Is Labiaplasty Right for Me?

Labiaplasty is getting a lot of buzz these days, and for good reason. This procedure can help women who have concerns about the size, shape and appearance of their vaginal lips. A procedure called labiaplasty surgery can address these concerns and boost a woman’s self-confidence. But the question is, how do you know if you are a good candidate?

To determine who is and who is not a good candidate for labiaplasty, it is helpful to first identify some of the issues that the procedure addresses. Labiaplasty can correct the problems caused by distended labia as they relate to aesthetic appearance and also physical discomfort. On the other hand, a woman who has concerns regarding sexual satisfaction may not be a good candidate for labiaplasty.

With that in mind, women with the following concerns are likely good candidates for a labiaplasty procedure:

• If you have larger than average or distended labia that are highly visible, even in tight-fitting clothing.
• If your labia cause physical discomfort during exercise, bicycling or during intercourse.
• If your vaginal lips appear prominent while wearing a swimsuit or spandex exercise pants.
• If you want a procedure that corrects these problems but with minimal to no downtime and no hospital stay.

If you meet any of these criteria, you may in fact be a very good candidate for labiaplasty. Not only is labiaplasty painless, it is performed on an outpatient basis, so you will be able to resume work and leisure activities the very next day.

While concerns about vaginal appearance or discomfort are very private and sometimes difficult to talk about, if you can relate to any of these issues regarding the appearance of your labia, it’s a good idea to speak with your OB/GYN.
