Frequently Asked Questions

What is Female Rejuvenation Surgery?

Female rejuvenation surgery can refer to a variety of procedures, from external procedures such as reduction of the labia minora, labia majora, and/or clitoral hood, to internal procedures such as vaginal tightening.

What is Labiaplasty Surgery?

Labiaplasty surgery most commonly refers to surgical reduction of labia minora, though it can also mean surgical reduction of the labia majora. The labia (outer tissue) and the vagina (internal canal) are not the same thing, so it is important to note labiaplasty is not technically a vaginal surgery.

What Causes Labia Minora to Grow?

The labia grow due to hormonal changes during puberty, and can also change during pregnancy.

How Do I Make My Labia Majora Smaller?

The labia majora can be made smaller through a single surgical procedure to remove the excess skin permanently. Alternatively, the labia majora may respond well to non surgical vaginal tightening methods such as radiofrequency skin tightening, which gradually plumps collagen and tightens skin, and requires a series of treatments.

Is Labiaplasty Worth It?

Labiaplasty surgery has a high satisfaction rate, and patients report improved self esteem, less embarrassment in certain types of clothing or with intimate partners, and even greater sexual satisfaction.

How Common is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty has become a very common procedure, mainly due to increased awareness that it is an option, as well as change in pubic hairstyles and prevalence of certain looks.
