Labiaplasty
Why do
Women Choose
Labiaplasty
…..
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips) for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Many women choose labiaplasty to improve comfort, confidence, or restore their natural anatomy after childbirth, aging, or weight changes.
Common reasons women choose labiaplasty include:
- Discomfort or irritation during exercise, intimacy, or daily activities
- Self-consciousness about the appearance of the labia in clothing or swimwear
- Changes to the labia due to childbirth, aging, or hormonal shifts
- Asymmetry between the labia minora or majora
- Restoring natural proportions or balance after weight loss
- Desire for improved confidence and body comfort
What to Expect (Procedure Overview)
Labiaplasty at Selarom is performed with compassion, discretion, and respect for your goals. We focus on natural-looking, balanced outcomes that prioritize comfort and function.
Consultation & Planning
We begin with a private consultation to discuss your concerns, medical history, and desired outcome. Dr. Schmelzer will explain the procedure in detail and determine if labiaplasty is right for you.
Surgery Day
Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with oral sedation, though general anesthesia is available if preferred. The procedure involves removing excess tissue and reshaping the labia for a more balanced, comfortable result. Most surgeries take about 1–2 hours.
Recovery
Patients usually return home the same day. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal in the first week. Most women return to non-strenuous activities within 5–7 days, with full healing over the course of 4–6 weeks. We provide clear aftercare instructions and remain available throughout your recovery.
Your Safety, Always
Your comfort, privacy, and safety are our highest priorities. We ensure you are fully informed, emotionally prepared, and medically ready before proceeding. All care is provided in a professional, supportive setting.
Technique & Customization Options
At Selarom, we understand that each woman’s anatomy and preferences are unique. Labiaplasty is a highly personalized procedure with several techniques available depending on your needs.
Techniques We Offer:
- Trim Technique – Removes excess tissue along the edge of the labia for a smooth, natural finish
- Wedge Technique – Removes a pie-shaped section of tissue from the center of the labia for minimal scarring and natural contour
- Clitoral Hood Reduction – May be performed with labiaplasty to reduce excess folds and improve symmetry
Personalized Choices Include:
- Extent of reshaping – Based on your anatomy and comfort goals
- Minora vs. majora correction – We tailor the procedure to address one or both areas as needed
- Functional vs. aesthetic goals – Whether your focus is improved comfort, appearance, or both
- Combining procedures – Some patients pair labiaplasty with other body procedures for overall balance
Tailored Techniques
We take great care to ensure a comfortable experience from start to finish. Every surgical plan is discreet, customized, and grounded in respect for your privacy and wellbeing.
Dr. Schmelzer will walk you through all options, answer your questions without judgment, and create a plan that helps you feel confident, empowered, and at ease.

FAQs
Please click on any of questions below to view their answer!
Will labiaplasty affect sensitivity or sexual function?
In most cases, sensation and function are preserved. The procedure is carefully performed to avoid interfering with nerves or sexual response.
Is labiaplasty only for cosmetic reasons?
Not at all. Many women choose labiaplasty to relieve discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or everyday movement — it’s often just as much about function as it is about appearance.
What does recovery feel like?
You may experience swelling, mild discomfort, or itching in the first week. Most patients return to light activities within 5–7 days, with full healing in 4–6 weeks.
Will anyone be able to tell I had the procedure?
No — the results are natural-looking, and incisions are hidden within the natural contours of your anatomy.
