What is labia majora reduction?
The large outer lips of the vulva, or labia majora, are often exaggerated in size and bulk, resulting in an unsightly bulge in tight fitting clothing or a bathing suit. It can be due to sagging skin or to an excess amount of tissue below the surface. This area can be safely reduced by meticulously removing the excess tissue and by hiding the suture lines in the natural skin folds. Care must be taken not to overcorrect the reduction. The labia majora are shock absorbers of the pelvis and protect the vaginal entrance from irritation due to riding, bicycling or spinning. Proper reduction will result in a more youthful appearance and better fitting clothing.
