The labia majora, the clitoral hood and the labia minora display a wide range of shapes and sizes. As a group, they're known as the vulva. The popularity of bikini waxing, shaving and laser hair removal has put these features into focus to be either appreciated or not. Treatments are available to reshape the labia majora, the labia minora and the clitoral hood. Some requests are purely cosmetic, others address pain or irritation associated with certain activities such as sex, horseback riding and other sports. Like noses, breasts and bodies, the only opinion that counts is your own.
Symmetry, balance and comfort are the most common reasons why our clientele request labiaplasty.
Sometimes the color of the edges of the labia minora have become much darker (hyperpigmentation) than the surrounding vulva or the tissues have become enlarged (labial hypertrophy). In other instances, the labia majora have become deflated from weight loss or aging or they sag after massive weight loss. It is not uncommon for women to experience damage to the labia during childbirth or from surgery or disease. These situations too, may lead to the desire for labiaplasty.

Out of Town Patients
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.
