Common Labial Procedures
Labia Minoraplasty
Labia minoraplasty (often called labiaplasty) addresses enlarged or asymmetrical labia minora—the inner vaginal lips. Many women seek this procedure to relieve discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or while wearing certain clothing. Dr. Pelosi uses individualized techniques to create a natural contour that matches your body, reducing excess tissue while preserving sensation and function.
Labia Majora Reduction
The labia majora—the outer vaginal lips—can become enlarged due to aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Labia majora reduction removes excess skin and tissue to create a smoother, more youthful contour. This procedure can alleviate chafing, improve comfort in fitted clothing, and restore confidence.
Labia Majora Augmentation
Loss of volume in the labia majora can occur with age or weight loss, leading to a deflated or wrinkled appearance. Labia majora augmentation uses your own fat (fat transfer) to restore natural fullness and smooth out wrinkles, creating a more youthful, rejuvenated look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recovery depends on the type of labial procedure and the extent of surgery. Most patients experience swelling, tenderness, and bruising during the first one to two weeks. You may resume light daily activities within several days, while complete healing can take six to eight weeks or longer. Dr. Pelosi will provide personalized recovery instructions based on your procedure.
Most patients should avoid sexual intercourse for approximately six to eight weeks after labiaplasty to allow the incisions and surrounding tissues to heal. Resuming sexual activity too early can increase the risk of discomfort, bleeding, or wound separation. Dr. Pelosi will assess your healing and advise when it’s safe to resume intimacy.
Labiaplasty is designed to improve comfort while preserving normal sensation and function. Some patients experience temporary numbness or increased sensitivity during healing. Although uncommon, permanent changes in sensation are possible. Dr. Pelosi carefully considers your anatomy and surgical goals to help minimize these risks.
Like any surgical procedure, labiaplasty carries potential risks, including bleeding, infection, swelling, scarring, and delayed wound healing. Other complications may include asymmetry, changes in sensation, or discomfort during intimacy. Dr. Pelosi evaluates your medical history and anatomy to develop a surgical plan that prioritizes safety and natural-looking results.
Labiaplasty generally does not affect fertility or your ability to become pregnant. However, pregnancy and childbirth can change the appearance of the labia and potentially affect surgical results. If you’re planning a pregnancy soon, Dr. Pelosi may recommend postponing surgery until after childbirth to help maintain your desired outcome.
Excess or elongated labial tissue can sometimes cause pulling, pinching, or friction during activities such as cycling, running, or sexual intercourse. Labiaplasty or labia majora reduction may relieve discomfort when excess tissue is the underlying cause. Dr. Pelosi will evaluate your symptoms and anatomy to determine whether surgery may provide relief.
