A source of discomfort for some women is their vulva, particularly the labia majora or minora, which are the outer and inner lips of the vulva, respectively. This tissue can sag, droop, or may appear asymmetrical or excessive—causing bulging in clothing or discomfort. 

At Amy Brenner MD, & Associates, Dr. Brenner is uniquely qualified to deliver exceptional cosmetic gynecology care for her patients. With prowess in both plastic surgery and gynecology, it’s important to our practice to educate options for treatment for conditions like labial reduction. Learn about the top 3 treatment options for labial reduction below.

3 Types of Labial Reduction in Cincinnati

Labiaplasty Majora

Labiaplasty majora is an elective cosmetic procedure that can reshape the outer vaginal lips known as the labia majora. For some people’s unique anatomy, the labia majora may be elongated, sagging, or asymmetrical. This can be uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

During a labiaplasty majora procedure, Dr. Brenner removes excess skin on the labia majora to reduce, reshape, and rejuvenate the area for an improved appearance.

What it treats

  • Bulges in clothing
  • Uncomfortable sex

Procedure time

1 hour

Recovery 

  • 3-4 days on bed rest
  • Pain medications
  • 6-8 week full recovery

Labiaplasty Minora

Labiaplasty minora is also an elective cosmetic procedure, and this focuses on the inner vaginal lips, also known as the labia minora. Excess of this tissue can cause discomfort, namely during intercourse, and just recurring irritation day-to-day. A labiaplasty minora can relieve discomfort and improve the aesthetic appearance of the vulva by removing excess tissue.

What it treats

  • Discomfort during intercourse
  • Discomfort during exercise
  • A bulge in tight clothing
  • Rubbing & irritation

Procedure time

1-2 hours

Recovery

  • 3-4 days on bed rest
