Labiaplasty In Mumbai
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure done to alter the size and shape of the labia minora (inner labia), the flaps of skin on either side of the vaginal opening. The labia are parts of the female genitalia (private parts), being the externally visible portions of the vulva. The labia majora are the outer fatter portion,, while the labia minora are skin folds between the outer labia. The color, size, shape, and length of the inner labia can vary from woman to woman. The causes of enlarged labia may be genetic, pubertal, or post-pregnancy.
WHY MAY YOU WANT LABIAPLASTY SURGERY? IS LABIA REDUCTION SURGERY A COSMETIC TREATMENT?
- As a pregnant woman, you have an overly enlarged and misshapen labia minora.
- The labia is a constant source of irritation when they get to rub against the undergarments.
- Maintenance of hygiene is an issue due to large labia minora which can shape the vagina as well.
- Activities like exercising, cycling, and horse riding are difficult as the labia minora skin rubs against the garment.
- Sexual intercourse is difficult because of enlarged labia and the dryness of the skin.
- You feel embarrassed to wear a swimsuit or shorts.
