The Benefits of Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty, also called labia reduction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of the labia majora, labia minora, or both sets of labia. The procedure, like other cosmetic treatments, helps women improve the appearance of this area of the body. Whether the labial skin has been stretched due to pregnancy, injury or genetics, a labiaplasty can restore the skin to its original state.
Functional Benefits
An elongated or asymmetrical labia can be a burden for many women, causing pain and discomfort not just during sexual activity, but also everyday activities like working out, running or riding a bike. The reshaping of the labial skin offers many women relief from the effects of elongated labia.
And Aesthetic Benefits
Some women may not have a problem with discomfort, but may feel inhibited or self-conscious due to their abnormal labia appearance. A labiaplasty can offer relief from both functional/physical issues and self-esteem/sexual confidence issues. The labiaplasty procedure is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Labia reduction and beautification is becoming increasingly popular as social acceptance of the procedure grows. For more information on the benefits of the labiaplasty surgery, contact Finesse Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery in Orange County, California.
