Some women may experience enlarged or asymmetrical labia majora, which can cause discomfort, and self-consciousness, or interfere with physical activities. Labia majora reduction can address these concerns, providing women with a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance in the genital area.
What Is Labia Majora Reduction?

Improved Comfort
Reducing the size of the labia majora can alleviate physical discomfort and irritation during physical activities.

Labia Majora Reduction Procedure
After a thorough consultation with Dr. Lazare, you will show up for your labia majora reduction procedure. You will be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the duration of the surgery. Dr. Lazare will begin by removing the excess tissue from one or both labia using either the trim technique or the wedge technique. Once the desired amount of tissue has been removed, surgical sutures will be placed to close the incisions. Labia majora reduction surgery usually takes less than two hours to complete.
Who Is a Candidate for Labia Majora Reduction?
The ideal candidate for labia majora reduction is any individual seeking to improve the appearance and function of the labia majora. In some cases, they may seek to reduce the size of their labia majora because they cause significant discomfort to the individual. Other reasons that may make you a candidate for labia majora reduction include an overly large or sagging labia majora, asymmetrical labia majora, the size of your labia affecting your self-esteem, or your labia changing after childbirth. Candidates should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations regarding the results of the procedure.
Labia Majora Reduction Recovery and Results
Labia majora reduction is an outpatient procedure, meaning you will be able to return home the same day you have your surgery. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and pain for the first few days of your recovery. Over-the-counter pain medication, as well as ice packs, can be used to ease your discomfort. You will want to wear loose-fitting pants and undergarments during your recovery to help your incisions breathe and heal. It may take 4-6 weeks before you are able to return to strenuous exercise and sexual activity. The final results of smaller and more symmetrical labia can take up to 3 months.
