Labiaplasty in Birmingham

Women have increasingly become more empowered in embracing their sexuality and are becoming more comfortable with themselves as sexual beings. However, if you are a woman who is unhappy with how your labia looks in the mirror, it can threaten your self-esteem and self-image, decrease sexual excitement and desire, affect your love-life or cause irritation or discomfort.

Labiaplasty is an elective Female Cosmetic Genital Procedure that can help recover your most intimate self-confidence. Labiaplasty reduces the size of overly large or thick labia, whether caused by heredity or recovery from disease or injury. It can result in constant irritation in tight pants and discomfort when engaging in sports or other physical activities. Most women seek sculpting of the labia to achieve a better look for themselves and their sexual partner. This can include age-related enhancement for women who are older and want a return to a more youthful look.

Is Labiaplasty Right for You?

Labiaplasty is a very personal procedure, and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

Labiaplasty may be an option for you if:

• you want to improve the appearance of a large labia or asymmetric labia
• you have an elongated labia so large it becomes visible through form fitting clothing, such as swimwear
• you experience physical discomfort upon sitting for long periods of time, exercising or engaging in sexual intercourse

Women who are pregnant are not candidates for Labiaplasty and women who have recently given birth may be instructed to delay surgery. Dr. Ruthie will help you make the final decision on whether Labiaplasty is right for you; however, the best candidates are physically and psychologically healthy, fully developed and understand the possibilities and limitations of the procedures.
