By reducing the size of the outer lips through a labia reduction procedure in Cincinnati, individuals can experience a significant boost in confidence. This elective, cosmetic gynecologic intervention is designed to address concerns related to the appearance and functionality of the outer vaginal lips.
What is a Labiaplasty Majora?
Known as the Labia Majora, these external structures may undergo changes such as elongation, sagging, bulging, or asymmetry, which can cause discomfort or self-consciousness. During a labia reduction procedure specifically targeting the Labia Majora in Cincinnati, Dr. Brenner skillfully removes excess tissue and reshapes the area to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing outcome. This process not only reduces the physical prominence of the outer lips but also enhances their firmness and symmetry, ultimately rejuvenating the overall appearance of the genital region and restoring a sense of confidence and satisfaction for the patient.

- Uncomfortable sex
Procedure Time:
- 1 hour

Process & Results
Labia Reduction
Step 1.
Precision & Cutting
Dr. Brenner utilizes the Ellman Surgitron, a unique instrument that has a cool tip, so thermal damage to the underlying tissue is able to be minimized or even eliminated. Many other surgeons use a running technique to save time, this leads to a scalloped appearance to the incision line. Dr. Brenner customizes the Labia Reduction in Cincinnati to your individual needs and expectations.
The Surgitron is unparalleled in its finesse and no-touch technique. The Ellman Surgitron provides superior precision and cutting (compared to a scalpel), less thermal injury, thereby promoting faster and less painful healing.
Step 2.
Radio Frequency
Dr. Brenner’s technique also involves using radio frequency from the Ellman to heat the tissue underneath the skin, which results in tissue contraction for even more tightening and a long lasting effect.
Step 3.
Self-Dissolvable
All sutures used in Labiaplasty are self-dissolvable and disappear within 6 weeks. This scar is often not seen at all. Individual or interrupted sutures are used.
What Causes the Outer Lips of the Vagina to Enlarge and Sag?
The Labia Majora can naturally exhibit asymmetry or elongation from birth or puberty, and while aging is a common factor contributing to changes in appearance, other life events like pregnancy, childbirth, and fluctuations in weight can also influence their shape. These experiences may lead to a perception of sagging or drooping labia, which some individuals find aesthetically challenging and may even cause discomfort in intimate situations.
What Can I Expect From Labia Reduction?
A Labia Reduction in Cincinnati is commonly paired with Labiaplasty Minora or Clitoral Hood Reduction. Dr. Brenner and her qualified team will help you make the best informed decision when it comes to what you’d like to achieve aesthetically during your formal consultation.
Labia Reduction FAQs:
I Have Heard of Using Fillers in the Vaginal Lips, Why is Labiaplasty Majora Superior to Filler?
Injections and fillers have limitations and are not without risks of side effects. Fillers are expensive, temporary (fillers need to be redone approximately every 12 months), and can leave areas of irregularity and unsightly bumps if the material is not distributed evenly and at the appropriate depth. The ONLY permanent solution for elongated, saggy outer vaginal lips is the Labiaplasty Majora. This surgical rejuvenation procedure removes all of the unsightly, hanging skin along with some of the underlying tissue that has lost its ability to maintain resilience. The remaining connective tissue is then shrunken and firmed using specialized surgical techniques, followed by joining the refreshed skin edges together with fine dissolving sutures.
I’ve Also Heard of the Laser for Labia Tightening, What is the Difference?
The FemiLift utilizes a powerful CO2 laser to non-surgically tighten the labia and improve discoloration in the area. The ideal candidate for the external FemiLift has very minimal excess, sagging labia tissue. The FemiLift does not provide the dramatic result seen with Labiaplasty Majora.
What is Labiaplasty Majora?
Labiaplasty majora is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and changes the shape of the labia majora (the outer vaginal lips). Women choose to have this procedure for many reasons, but the most common causes we see concern the following:
- Loose or hanging skin that causes discomfort in certain clothing or when exercising. Drooping skin can get caught and become irritated.
- Labia majora skin that is lax can cause discomfort during sexual intercourse.
- Enlarged labia majora can sometimes become visible when a woman wears tight-fitting clothing.
- Women also seek out labiaplasty in Cincinnati because the look and feel of their labia majora causes them mental distress.
During this 1- to 2-hour procedure, Dr. Brenner will eliminate excess skin with the Ellman Surgitron tool. Patients can return home to heal and expect to be on bed rest for 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients fully recover in 6 to 8 weeks.
What Procedures Can I Pair With This Labiaplasty Procedure?
There are quite a few! Most commonly, we combine labiaplasty majora with labiaplasty minora and clitoral hood reduction.
Labiaplasty Minora:
This procedure is very similar to labiaplasty majora, but addresses the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips).
Clitoral Hood Reduction:
Clitoral hood reduction (clitoropexy, hoodectomy) removes the skin that surrounds the clitoris.

Is There a Non-surgical Option That Can Treat My Labia Majora?
Yes, but it depends on the degree of skin laxity you’re experiencing.
Women with mild to moderate labia majora skin laxity can benefit from the AVIVA FemTite treatment. This procedure is a scarless, non-surgical option for labiaplasty in Cincinnati that can tighten and tone excess skin.
AVIVA uses radiofrequency (RF) to trigger the body to produce collagen and elastin in the treatment area. We also use AVIVA to treat:
- Loose or excess clitoral hood skin
- Introitus, gaping vagina
- Mons pubis laxity
- Mild to moderate labia minora elongation
AVIVA is typically a 1-hour procedure that has a shorter recovery period than our labiaplasty in Cincinnati.
