Understanding Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a specialized cosmetic gynecological procedure designed to contour and reshape the labia - either the outer lips (labia majora) or inner lips (labia minora). The surgical technique allows precise reshaping to meet individual aesthetic and functional goals. Typically performed under local anesthesia, the outpatient procedure enables patients to return home shortly after treatment.
Procedure Overview
- Precise contouring of vaginal external tissues
- Customizable reshaping techniques
- Outpatient surgical procedure
