The Facts About Labia Reduction Surgery

Labia minora surgery can be a daunting, complex topic. If you’re thinking about undergoing labia reduction surgery, it’s important that you understand the potential risks and benefits of this procedure.

In this article renowned labiaplasty surgeon from Toronto Dr David Gerber, who has performed minimally invasive gynecologic surgery for over 15 years, will share some information to help you understand the different types of labia reduction surgery and give you basic information about why to have this surgery.

 

What is Labiaplasty?

As Dr David Gerber explains, labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is used to reduce the size of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips). This procedure is most often performed to improve the appearance of the clitoris or the area around the clitoris in people who have visible labia minora.

 

Types of Labia Surgery

According to Dr David Gerber, who has developed a micro-surgical procedure for labia reduction surgery, there are many different types of labiaplasty, which are classified by the amount of labia reduction that is performed. The most common labiaplasty types are:

- Reduction with clitoral hood reconstruction - This is a labiaplasty that reduces the size of the labia minora, while also closing off part of the clitoris.

- Reduction without reconstruction - With this labiaplasty, the size of the labia minora is reduced, but the clitoris is left intact.

- Reduction with reconstruction - This type of labiaplasty is the most drastic, as it removes the labia minora and parts of the clitoris. While this type is used for some people who have a large labia minora, it is more commonly performed to make the labia look “nicer” or “cleaner.”

 

Why Have Labia Reduction Surgery?

Labiaplasty is a procedure used to reduce the size of the outer labia minora. When labia minora are too large, they can cause visible stretching of the clitoris and vulva. This can be embarrassing and may contribute to negative self-image and low self esteem. Labia reduction surgery can also be used to improve the appearance of the clitoris or the area around the clitoris in people who have visible labia minora.

Dr David Gerber points out that there are many different reasons that a woman may wish to undergo labia reduction surgery. Some women choose to have labia reduction because they are experiencing pain during sex or with clothing that is too tight around the legs. Other women may choose to undergo labia reduction to “fix” a perceived flaw in their appearance. There are also some women who undergo labia reduction to enhance their own experience with arousal and masturbation.
