Labioplastia
Procedure
Childbirth, pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can cause vaginal muscles and tissues to relax, stretch, tear, or even protrude outward.
These issues can be addressed with vaginal rejuvenation surgery, also known as vaginoplasty.
Through an incision in the perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus), the surgeon can remove excess skin and tissue, tighten the vaginal canal, and reduce the size of the vaginal opening.
This procedure is often combined with labia reduction, which reshapes relatively large labia in relation to the vulva.
