A good candidate for labiaplasty is someone who wants to reduce the size of their labia minora due to pain and discomfort or feeling self-conscious about its appearance and size. Women who have an asymmetric look to the appearance of the labia minora are also good candidates for the treatment.

A labiaplasty procedure begins with the decision to perform a central wedge technique or a trim technique. During the central wedge technique, the surgeon removes a wedge that looks like a slice of pie from the area that protrudes the greatest. The top of the labium is then sutured to the bottom of the labium in order to reduce its size. A trim technique is when an incision is made that runs along the labia length. The incision allows the surgeon to trim excess skin and tissue to provide the desired size to the labia minora.

Labiaplasty recovery will include some soreness, bruising, discomfort, and swelling. It can take up to six weeks for the final results to be visible as the swelling can last up to five months. While the results are considered to be permanent, they can be impacted by the aging process and if the patient becomes pregnant after the surgery.

The average labiaplasty cost in Los Angeles is $3000-$12,000 and the cost depends on the technique used by the surgeon along with the amount of work that needs to be performed to gain the desired results.
