What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a delicate surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora, the inner folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. For many women, enlarged or uneven labial tissue can cause discomfort during physical activity, challenges with certain clothing, or self-consciousness about appearance. At The Plastic Surgery Group at City Centre, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform labiaplasty in Surrey, BC, with precision and care, tailoring each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and goals. The aim is to restore both comfort and natural aesthetics while maintaining normal sensation and function.

Dr. Oxley has done two procedures removing cancer for me. The first visit I had with him was in the surgery suite. He was professional, punctual and had just the right amount of humour for what was a stressful time for me. The follow up visit was on time and I was booked for a second surgery. The second surgery was again, punctual and professional with a touch of humour. I am in the process of booking a follow up to my latest surgery now. I would not hesitate to use Dr. Oxley again.

My highest recommendation for an outstanding doctor and person: Dr. Rizwan Mian. Dr. Mian has surgically removed cancer from my skin a number of times in recent years - all basal-cell carcinoma. He has always been the ultimate professional but with a kind and gentle manner that calms any anxiety a patient might be feeling. And when my most recently removed skin tested positive for melanoma I was anxious indeed! This time it was a spot on my cheek that would require a large amount of tissue removal, a biopsy of the closest lymph node, and skin grafting, all done under general anesthesia. But I need not have worried. Dr. Mian was reassuring and amazingly skillful, the surgery was successful, the melanoma contained, and the complicated skin graft has healed so well that the incision on my face is already starting to disappear. Thank you, Dr. Mian!

Can’t recommend Dr Genoway enough! I was looking for a reconstructive surgeon for 5 years, had several consultations with other doctors. As soon as I met Dr Genoway, I knew I found my doctor. She is knowledgeable, experienced, kind and caring. Dr Genoway listened to all of my concerns, gave me honest medical opinion, including to comeback in a few years as I am too young for a particular procedures. I felt comfortable and not rushed or pressured. Most importantly I felt safe and in good hands. Ended up having my postpartum reconstruction and 2 other procedures (long time dream) in one go. Recovery was fast considering the extent of the procedures. I didn’t need the prescribed pain medication at all. She just has this “light hand”. Most importantly, the results are better than expected! Natural looking, better version of me, but still me. I feel more confident and much happier in my own skin.

I was a novice to surgery and the staff here were amazing - very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lee was very calm and knowledgeable and answered my questions. Breast reduction surgery was scary to me but I have zero regrets. Barely any pain or discomfort after surgery and any back pain I had before is now gone. I walk straighter and clothes fit better. My self esteem has improved. Would recommend this office and the actual surgery to anyone considering it. It’s a game changer.

I am a breast cancer survivor. After my reconstruction surgery failed I was referred to Dr Imran Ratanshi. His kind demeanor and great sense of humor put me at ease immediately. I was in a very dark place emotionally due to the appearance of my body. Dr. Ratanshi preformed a deep inferior epigastric perforator surgery and it was a complete success. I believe Dr Ratanshi saved my life! A very skilled surgeon and a wonderful man.

Reasons Patients Consider Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty can address both functional and aesthetic concerns. Common reasons patients choose this procedure include:

  • Physical discomfort from friction or pinching during exercise, cycling, or intimacy.
  • Irritation caused by tight clothing.
  • Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the labia due to size, asymmetry, or changes from childbirth or ageing.
  • A desire for increased comfort and confidence in personal or intimate settings.

During your consultation for labiaplasty in Surrey, BC, your surgeon will discuss your motivations and goals to create a surgical plan that reflects your priorities and respects your comfort.

Background media

How Labiaplasty Is Performed

Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and surgical plan. The procedure usually takes one to two hours. There are two primary surgical techniques used:

Trim Technique

Involves removing a thin strip of tissue along the edge of the labia to create a smaller, smoother contour.

Wedge Technique

Removes a small, pie-shaped section of tissue from the middle of the labia, preserving the natural border and reducing size while maintaining shape and sensation.

Your surgeon will recommend the best technique for your anatomy and desired outcome. In some cases, labiaplasty may be combined with other rejuvenation procedures such as clitoral hood reduction or fat grafting for enhanced balance and comfort.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from labiaplasty is generally straightforward. Most patients return to normal daily activities within five to seven days and can resume exercise and sexual activity after four to six weeks, once healing is complete.

Some swelling and tenderness are expected in the first week. Ice packs, supportive undergarments, and prescribed medications can help manage discomfort. Patients are encouraged to avoid tight clothing and strenuous activity until cleared by their surgeon.

Our Surrey team provides detailed aftercare instructions and regular follow-up visits to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Scars typically fade over time and become barely noticeable.

Results and Expectations

Results from labiaplasty are long-lasting and can significantly improve both comfort and self-confidence. Patients often report relief from irritation and renewed ease in physical and intimate activities.

At The Plastic Surgery Group at City Centre, our surgeons prioritize subtle, natural-looking results that reflect each patient’s unique anatomy. The goal is to create balance and comfort, not artificial perfection.

During your follow-up appointments, your surgeon will monitor healing progress and provide guidance on maintaining results over time.

Frequently Asked Questions Labiaplasty

Is Labiaplasty Only a Cosmetic Procedure?

No. While labiaplasty can enhance appearance, many patients pursue it for functional reasons such as discomfort, irritation, or restricted movement.

Will Labiaplasty Affect Sensation?

When performed by an experienced surgeon, labiaplasty should not negatively affect sensation. Our surgeons take care to preserve nerve function and natural sensitivity.

How Painful Is Recovery?

Discomfort is typically mild and managed with prescribed medication. Most patients describe recovery as easier than expected, with improvement in swelling and tenderness each day.

Are There Visible Scars After Surgery?

Incisions are carefully placed along natural folds and edges, resulting in minimal, discreet scarring that fades over time.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Labiaplasty results are generally permanent, though natural ageing and hormonal changes can influence tissue over the years. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps prolong results.

Can Labiaplasty Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Yes. Labiaplasty is often combined with procedures such as tummy tuck or body lift surgery as part of a comprehensive post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss plan.
