The labia minora can by nature be too large and/or asymmetric. As a result of aging and in particular pregnancies the labia can stretch. Discomfort can develop during daily activities such as cycling, horseback riding or intercourse. It can also be of entirely cosmetic reasons that a correction is desired. A labia minora correction has increased tremendously in popularity over the last couple of years due to increased familiarity of the procedure and due to good results with the present techniques. Excess tissue can be present of the labia minora on the sides and of the clitoral hood in the front. The goals of a labia reduction are to reduce the labia minora so they don’t hang below the labia majora and to improve symmetry.
