Labia majora reduction surgery is the removal of the excess skin and the underlying fat from the outer labia. Reduction resolves symptoms of sagging or bulging labia majora, often increasing confidence and comfort during sexual activities.
Over time, the labia majora can become enlarged for natural reasons, including stretching that occurs during pregnancy and delivery and lower estrogen levels associated with aging. When combined with a mons pubis reduction, the enlarged, sagging tissue of the labia majora can be lifted creating a more natural appearance.
Labia majora reduction is often combined with the monsplasty procedure to reduce overall enlargement.
Women with enlarged labia majora can present with enlarged mons pubis (fatty tissue over the pubic bone) as well. These women often complain of a mound, bulging, or puffiness at the level of the pubic bone. This can sometimes become more prominent after c-sections, abdominoplasty, weight gain or weight loss.
Mons pubis reduction can be combined with labia majora reduction or labiaplasty to help reduce the excessive fatty tissue in this area and help reduce the bulge. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis with around 1 week of downtime.
