For the most part, a labiaplasty isn’t medically necessary, but it does offer a wide range of functional benefits.
Although the procedure can be solely cosmetic, as we have recently reported, Dr John’s patients cases are often not:
“Most of the women who I see are not having a labiaplasty for cosmetic reasons. They are having it for medical or health reasons,” Dr John noted.
Indeed, longer labias can become uncomfortable in some situations – for example, during sex, exercise, or even just by sitting. This discomfort may encourage women to undergo the procedure.
