The outer labia are known as the labia majora and they form the outer border of the vulva. Aesthetic options for the labia majora may target the skin, laxity of the tissues or loss of volume.

Laser Hair RemovalFrequently requested for the skin of the labia majora to avoid frequent and painful Brazilian waxing or razor burn. This may be combined with treatment of the mons pubis or other sites such as legs, arms, back, etc. These treatments are available through The Spa and consist of multiple sessions typically within a two-month time frame. The number of sessions depends upon the density of the hair follicles and your skin type. |

Labia Majora ReductionAlso known as reduction labia majoraplasty. A surgical treatment for excess loose skin and subcutaneous tissue of the labia majora which sometimes accompanies massive weight loss or excess labial stretching from other causes. Recovery is quick a relatively painless process since the procedure only involves the skin and superficial fat layers. |
 |
Labia Majora AugmentationAlso known as augmentation labia majoraplasty. The procedure involves subcutaneous fat injections into the labia majora to add volume when the area appears deflated. Lipo techniques are use to harvest a small amount of fat from any convenient site on your body. |

About the Labia MajoraThe labia majora extend from the mons pubis anteriorly to the perineum posteriorly where they fuse in the midline. The skin of the labia majora is usually darker than the adjacent skin of the upper medial thigh.
The skin of the labia majora is rich in hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands and apocrine glands. The apocrine glands, also know as scent glands, are identical to those of the axilla. These structures are all demonstrated on the microscopic image. |

The blood and nerve supply to the labia majora comes from the pudendal region.

Many labiaplasty patients at LVR-NJ travel considerable distances for our expertise in this procedure. We facilitate this process by providing the option of same-day consultation/same-day labiaplasty surgery. This is arranged in advance and by request at the time that you contact our office. Pre-operative bloodwork testing will need to be performed in advance through a local physician or lab near your home. Drs. Pelosi will review your situation to determine if this is an appropriate option. If you fly, or if your drive home is more than 2 hours, we recommend that you stay in the area overnight after your surgery so that Drs. Pelosi can evaluate you for proper healing on the day after surgery; afterwards, you may travel home. In certain situations, we can provide you with an overnight stay the night before your surgery if you are arriving late in the day. Click here for general travel info.
