Labiaplasty
Board-Certified Ob-Gyn Surgeon
Doctor-Led Cosmetic Cosmetic Gynecologist Kimberly L Evans, MD
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic gynecology procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora and/or labia majora to improve comfort, symmetry, and confidence.
At our practice, labiaplasty is personally evaluated and performed by Dr. Kimberly Evans, a board-certified OB-GYN with extensive experience in female anatomy, pelvic health, and surgical care. Every treatment plan is individualized, discreet, and grounded in medical expertise.
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure focused on the external genital anatomy,
specifically the labia minora and, in some cases, the labia majora.
Women may seek labiaplasty for functional reasons, aesthetic concerns, or a combination of both.
The goal is to create a result that feels comfortable, natural, and proportionate to each patient’s anatomy.
Labiaplasty does not tighten the vaginal canal and is distinct from procedures that address internal vaginal laxity.
What Labiaplasty Can Address
Patients may consider labiaplasty for concerns such as:
Discomfort during exercise, cycling, or intimacy
Irritation or chafing with clothing
Elongation or enlargement of the labia
Asymmetry of the labia
Changes following childbirth or aging
Self-consciousness or reduced confidence
Each patient’s anatomy and goals are unique, which is why labiaplasty should never be approached as a one-size-fits-all procedure.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty?
-
Experience physical discomfort related to labial tissue

Irritation with exercise/clothing

A private consultation is essential to determine candidacy and to discuss whether labiaplasty or alternative treatments are most appropriate.
Labiaplasty vs. Other Cosmetic Gynecology Procedures
Cosmetic gynecology procedures address different anatomical areas and should not be confused.
Labiaplasty addresses the external labia and is different from vaginoplasty, which focuses on internal vaginal tightening.
Some patients may also consider non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation depending on their goals.
Labiaplasty focuses on the external labial tissue
Vaginoplasty focuses on the internal vaginal canal and muscles
Perineoplasty focuses on the perineal support at the vaginal opening
These procedures are not the same. They can be routinely performed together by Dr Evans by each needs its separate careful evaluation.
