For many women, changes in the appearance or function of the labia can lead to discomfort, self-consciousness, or reduced confidence. Whether due to aging, genetics, or childbirth, labiaplasty offers a personalized solution. At Snyder Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ned Snyder performs labiaplasty with discretion, precision, and care, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.

What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips). The goal is to improve symmetry, reduce physical discomfort, and create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing appearance, without compromising sensation or function.

Many women choose labiaplasty to enhance comfort in everyday activities, improve their self-image, or restore their pre-pregnancy anatomy. At Snyder Plastic Surgery, the procedure is always tailored to your anatomy and personal goals to ensure subtle, natural-looking results.

Who Is a Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a highly personal decision, often pursued by women who experience physical discomfort or dissatisfaction with the appearance of the labia minora or labia majora. You may be a good candidate for labiaplasty if you:

  • Have enlarged or asymmetrical labia that cause chafing, irritation, or discomfort during exercise, intercourse, or while wearing tight clothing
  • Experience changes to the labia following childbirth, aging, or significant weight loss
  • Feel self-conscious or dissatisfied with the appearance of your labia
  • Are in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations about the results

Dr. Snyder offers compassionate, confidential consultations where your goals are heard and respected. Together, you’ll determine whether labiaplasty is the right choice for your needs.

Surgical Technique: How the Procedure Works

Labiaplasty at Snyder Plastic Surgery is performed with meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of female anatomy. Dr. Snyder uses advanced surgical techniques to preserve sensation while achieving beautiful, balanced results.

Incision Placement: Incisions are placed along the natural folds of the labia to minimize visibility. Dr. Snyder carefully customizes incision location and length based on your anatomy and desired outcome.

Tissue Reshaping: Excess tissue is gently removed to reduce bulk and improve symmetry. The remaining tissue is sculpted to enhance the overall shape and proportion of the labia.

Clitoral Hood Reduction (if needed): When excess skin in the clitoral hood contributes to asymmetry or discomfort, Dr. Snyder may include a clitoral hood reduction for a more complete aesthetic result.

Suture Technique: Absorbable sutures are used to close incisions with minimal tension, supporting a smooth recovery and reducing the risk of scarring.

Labiaplasty typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure under anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety.
