Definition:
Labiaplasty refers to surgery that changes the shape and size of the labia minora and/or labia majora, most often making the labia minora (or inner lips) smaller. This may be done using a laser or blade (scalpel or curved scissors). The procedure is done using a local anesthetic and on an outpatient basis.
Labiaplasty, and another procedure referred to as vaginal rejuvenation, have garnered tremendous attention by the mainstream media. While still a relatively uncommon procedure (representing 0.08% of all cosmetic procedures last year) data suggest that it is growing in popularity faster than other forms of cosmetic surgery.
Also Known As: Labia Reduction, Inner Lip Reduction, Labia Minora Reduction
