Suitable Candidate for Labioplasty (Labiaplasty):

• Patients that require labiaplasty are usually where there is elongation of the labia which causes irritation and a rash, discomfort in tight clothing, or discomfort during sexual intercourse or simply makes the patient self-conscious.

Labioplasty Goal:
