Labiaplasty Surgery Before & Afters
What is a Labiaplasty?
A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure which reduces the size of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips) to minimize their appearance so that they do not protrude much beyond the edges of the labia majora (the outer vaginal lips). Aging, genetics, childbirth and sexual activity can all contribute to enlarged labia which and can lead to physical discomfort, hygiene issues or insecurity about one’s appearance.

Labiaplasty Techniques
Trim Labiaplasty
A trim labiaplasty is the most common method for labiaplasty in Toronto. The procedure involves an incision that removes the outer edge of one or both sides of the labia minora so that they are reduced in size. Following the procedure, they tend to sit flush with or slightly receded from the edges of the labia majora. This procedure tends to remove the darkest part of the labia minora, which makes it a popular choice for cosmetic reasons.
Wedge Method Labiaplasty
The wedge labiaplasty removes a triangular (wedge) section from the inner areas of one or both sides of the labia minora, and then the remaining tissue is stitched back together. The outer, wrinkled edge of the labia remains, which may result in a more natural look after surgery.
Clitoral Hood Reduction
A clitoral hood reduction is often performed alongside labiaplasty to improve both comfort and aesthetics. This procedure reduces excess tissue around the clitoral hood, which can contribute to discomfort or an imbalanced appearance. By carefully trimming and reshaping this tissue, the clitoral hood reduction can enhance symmetry and improve sensation by reducing excess folds that may cause irritation. The goal is to maintain natural function while achieving a more refined contour.
Labia Majora Reduction
Labia majora reduction is a procedure designed to reduce the size or improve the shape of the outer labia (labia majora). Some women experience excess volume due to genetics, aging, or weight loss, which can cause discomfort in tight clothing or during physical activity. This procedure typically involves the removal of excess skin and/or fat through excision or liposuction, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate appearance. The goal is to create a balanced look that aligns with the patient’s aesthetic preferences while preserving natural function.

FAQs about Labiaplasty
Does labiaplasty reduce feeling?
What is vaginal rejuvenation?
What causes labia minora to grow?
The size and shape of the labia minora vary from person to person, and this is completely normal. It is also normal to have some asymmetry of the labia minora.
Some other possible causes of labial hypertrophy include:
Hormonal events such as puberty or child birth
Aging
Genetics
Weight changes
Cycling
Is labiaplasty painful?
Many patients opt for general anesthetic to avoid feeling any pain during the labia surgery. Any pain and discomfort after the surgery should be manageable with medication prescribed by your doctor, and pain should subside within a few days.
How common is labiaplasty?
A study published in 2021 found that the number of labiaplasties being performed worldwide has been increasing for a number years, by as much as almost 75% between 2015 and 2019 and it was the 15th most popular female plastic surgery in 2019.
Does labiaplasty leave scars?
Whenever a surgical incision is made, there is a resultant scar. However, because of the labia’s structure of wrinkles and folds, scarring is often easily hidden and blends in with the natural labia minora tissue. It can take several months to years for the scar tissue to fully heal and soften.
Will labiaplasty surgery impact sexual intercourse?
It may, but usually in a positive way. There is usually no loss of sexual sensation from a labiaplasty. It may make you feel more confident in your desired body image. Following labiaplasty, women have reported increased sexual function and confidence, improved body perception, and decreased discomfort with sex. Some women have also reported that with the excess tissue removed, their clitoris is more easily stimulated and they achieve orgasm more regularly.
Is labiaplasty worth it?
A vast majority of patients are very happy with their labiaplasty results and think the procedure is worth it. In fact, on RealSelf, the labiaplasty procedure has a 94% “Worth It” rating at the time of writing this article.
When can I resume sexual activity after labiaplasty?
It can take 4 to 6 weeks before returning to sexual intercourse, but it is best to follow the advice of your surgeon.
Is labiaplasty safe?
All types of surgeries have risks, including a labiaplasty, but the surgery is generally regarded as a very safe procedure. Any potential risks and complications will be outlined during the pre-operative visits. The procedure will be performed by our experienced, board-certified female plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephanie Dreckmann, in our on-site accredited surgical facility to optimize patient safety.
How long is labiaplasty recovery?
The patient is allowed to go home the day of labia surgery and will be prescribed medication to manage the pain.
Normally patients can return to work by 1 week after the procedure.
Within the first week, you should be able to return to a fairly normal daily routine (excluding strenuous activities and intercourse).
You should refrain from sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks after your labiaplasty, following the advice of your surgeon.
How long do labiaplasty results last?
The results from a labiaplasty are usually permanent. Even if a pregnancy and childbirth occur after a labiaplasty, it will likely have no negative effect on your labiaplasty results and a subsequent procedure very rarely has to be done.
How should I prepare for labiaplasty?
Preparing for a labiaplasty surgery involves several important steps to ensure the best possible outcome and smooth recovery. Firstly, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with Dr. Stephanie Dreckmann to discuss your goals, medical history, and any medications you are currently taking. Dr. Dreckmann may advise you to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, to reduce the risk of bleeding during surgery. Quitting smoking at least four weeks before the procedure is crucial, as smoking can impede healing. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated in the weeks leading up to your surgery can support your body’s healing processes. On the day of the surgery, you should arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you during the initial recovery period. Following these pre-surgery guidelines will help you prepare effectively for your labiaplasty and contribute to achieving the best results.
