Labiaplasty at Wei Aesthetic Institute

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty, or labia reduction surgery, is a precise surgical procedure to reduce and reshape the labia minora (inner lips) and/or labia majora (outer folds) of the vagina. Many women choose labiaplasty to improve the appearance of large, uneven, or asymmetrical labia, which can significantly boost self-confidence and comfort. Others seek labiaplasty for relief from physical issues such as chafing, irritation, or discomfort during exercise and daily activities.

Who is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?

Ideal candidates are women experiencing discomfort or irritation from enlarged labia or those with labial tears from childbirth. Candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the surgery's outcomes. Dr. Wei provides a thorough evaluation to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Who is NOT a Candidate?

Women with certain medical conditions or unrealistic expectations may not be suitable candidates. A detailed consultation with Dr. Wei will determine the best approach for your individual situation.

Conditions Treated by Labiaplasty

• Enlarged or uneven labia minora or majora

• Labial chafing and irritation from clothing or physical activity

• Labial trauma or tearing due to childbirth

• Bulging labia visible in tight clothing or swimwear

• Self-consciousness about labial appearance

How is the Procedure Performed?

Labiaplasty is performed either in-office or at a surgical center under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Dr. Wei, a board-certified OB/GYN and gynecological surgeon with advanced vulvovaginal surgical training, uses refined surgical techniques and the Ellman Surgitron device, which minimizes tissue damage compared to traditional lasers.

The procedure usually takes about 60 minutes. Labia majora reduction involves excising a crescent-shaped portion of the inner labia majora, with scars discreetly hidden in natural folds. Labia minoraplasty removes excess or uneven inner labial tissue to alleviate discomfort and improve appearance.

When Will I See Results?

Full results are visible after approximately six months, once swelling has fully resolved and the skin has healed.

What is the Recovery Process?

Recovery typically involves limited downtime. Patients can walk and drive immediately but should avoid heavy lifting, exercise, swimming, and sexual activity for 6 weeks. Tampons should be avoided during this period. Dr. Wei will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients resume normal activities within 8 weeks.

Is Labiaplasty an Outpatient Procedure?

Yes, labiaplasty is an outpatient surgery that generally lasts between 1 and 3 hours. Mild soreness is expected during the first week.

How Much Does Labiaplasty Cost?

At our practice, labiaplasty starts at $7,700. Pricing depends on case complexity and any combination with other procedures such as perineoplasty, vaginoplasty, clitoral hood reduction, or mons pubis lift, which may offer discounts. A precise quote will be provided after a consultation.

Labia Minoraplasty vs. Labia Majoraplasty

• Labia Minoraplasty: Removes excess, floppy, or uneven inner labia minora tissue that often causes irritation or discomfort during sex or daily activities. Labia minora may enlarge due to puberty, pregnancy, or aging.

• Labia Majoraplasty: Reduces enlarged or sagging outer labia majora, which can cause discomfort, sweating, and visible bulging in clothing. This condition may result from childbirth, aging, or significant weight changes.
