Vaginal cosmetic surgery or labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce or increase the size of the labia depending on the needs of each person. This surgery is performed to improve the appearance of the labia and reduce physical problems during daily activities.

The labia (lips around the vagina) are located around the opening of the vagina. The outer labia is called the labia majora and the large part of the edge of the vagina. This part is covered with pubic hair after puberty.

The inner lips or folds are known as the labia minora, which are the small lips of the vagina. These folds of skin protect the opening of the urethra (the part where urine leaves your body) and the vagina.

During this surgery, depending on the reason for it, your surgeon will do one of the following:

• It completely separates some of the labia tissue to reduce its size.
• A filler or fat is injected into the labia to enlarge the area.
• Performs repairs in this area if needed.
