For some women, enlarged labia, whether from birth or due to aging, childbirth, or weight loss, can lead to discomfort and self-consciousness. In such cases, labiaplasty in NJ offers a potential solution. This procedure, performed by skilled professionals like Dr. Falguni Patel, can enhance the appearance and function of the labia, making daily activities, exercise, and even sexual intercourse more comfortable.
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a personalized procedure designed to help women feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies. Whether you’re seeking relief from discomfort or hoping to enhance the appearance of your labia, this surgery can be tailored to your unique needs. Labiaplasty reshapes the labia minora, labia majora, or both, often by reducing the labia, making it a great option for those who experience discomfort from an enlarged or elongated labia during daily activities, physical exercise, or intimacy. It can also address changes caused by childbirth, such as stretching or damage, helping restore comfort and ease. Our goal is to ensure you feel your best in every aspect of your life.

Who is a Good Candidate for Labia Reduction in NJ
Labiaplasty is a personal choice and not a medical necessity. But if you experience emotional or physical discomfort due to labial issues, it can be a transformative solution. Enlarged labia, known as labia hypertrophy, can cause physical irritation and emotional distress. Tight clothing can lead to painful pinching or friction, while visibility concerns can create embarrassment. Whether seeking relief from discomfort, improving intimacy, or addressing cosmetic worries, labiaplasty can enhance aesthetics and restore comfort, leading to increased self-esteem.

Types Of Labiaplasty Techniques
Our procedure for labiaplasty in New Jersey involves reducing the size of the inner lips (labia minora), outer lips (labia majora), clitoral hood, or all. The procedure can be performed using various surgical techniques, which Dr. Patel will discuss during your consultation. The following are some of the techniques involved in labiaplasty — you may need one or several of these techniques.
Labia Minora Reduction (Wedge Technique)
Labia minora reduction using the wedge technique involves resecting a wedge-shaped portion from each side of the inner lips. The remaining tissue is closed, bringing the upper part of the labia down, resulting in a natural appearance. The incision heals within the labial folds, making the scar almost imperceptible.

Labia Minora Reduction (Trim Technique)
Labia minora reduction using the trim technique involves precisely trimming the excess tissue from the inner lips. The trim method is effective in reducing the size of the labia and achieving a more balanced appearance. Although the incisions are closed with fine sutures, the healing process may result in a linear scar along the edge of the labia. During your labia reduction in New Jersey, Dr. Patel can minimize scarring, and patients generally find the benefits outweigh any minor scarring concerns.
Labia Minora Reduction (Combo Technique)
The Combo technique encompassed the trim method as well as a modified wedge technique to tackle complex issues like vertical and horizontal labial elongation. Dr. Patel removes a wedge of tissue and simultaneously trims the outer edge, effectively reducing tissue size and creating a smooth, balanced contour. This technique is perfect for patients who have excess tissue in multiple areas, providing a solution for both functional and cosmetic enhancement. It allows natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
Labia Majora Reduction
Labia majora reduction addresses the enlargement of the outer fatty folds of skin that extend from the pubic mound to the perineum beneath the vaginal opening. Age and weight fluctuations can lead to increased protrusion or sagging in this area. The procedure involves making incisions along the inner folds of the labia majora and minora, removing excess skin and/or fat, and sealing the incision with absorbable sutures in multiple layers.

Clitoral Hood Reduction
Clitoral hood reduction, or clitoral hoodectomy, involves removing the clitoral prepuce to enhance sexual stimulation and achieve a neater, more compact appearance. The procedure includes marking the excess tissue and making a simple excision along the extent of the folds, followed by closure using absorbable sutures. By reducing the size and area of the clitoral hood, this surgery aims to improve both aesthetics and sexual experience for the patient.

Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
If you have thought about receiving labiaplasty in New Jersey and are looking for a non-surgical solution, we offer vaginal rejuvenation that utilizes focused ultrasound or radiofrequency energy to tighten the outer lips, known as the vulva or labia majora. Focused ultrasound delivers energy deep into the tissues, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Radiofrequency works similarly by heating the target area to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve elasticity. Both methods enhance the appearance and comfort of the labia majora without surgery.

AVIVA: The Scarless, Non-Invasive Technique
AVIVA is a revolutionary non-surgical technique that offers a scarless, non-invasive solution for women seeking to address enlarged or irregularly-shaped labia without undergoing traditional labiaplasty surgery. Unlike surgical procedures that involve general anesthesia, incisions, stitches, and a recovery period with restricted sexual activity, AVIVA uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to achieve the desired results.
What To Expect During Labiaplasty Surgery
During labiaplasty surgery, you will be administered a sedative to reduce anxiety and pain. The procedure can be done using sedation and local anesthesia or under general anesthesia, where you will be asleep throughout. Before the surgery, you will meet with an anesthetist to discuss anesthesia options and address any questions. The surgery lasts 1 to 2 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure at our certified ambulatory surgery center or affiliated hospital.
Before your labiaplasty in New Jersey, the labia and/or clitoris will be marked for the appropriate incision locations based on the chosen technique. The anesthesiologist will ensure your comfort while Dr. Patel excises the necessary amount of labial tissue, ensuring proper functionality and a neat appearance. After the surgery, you will wake up in a recovery area where you’ll be monitored before being released to go home. Remember to arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you during the initial days of recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for labiaplasty?
The reasons why women opt for labiaplasty in New Jersey include:
- Enlarged labia minora or majora
- Asymmetrical labia minora (one inner lip larger than the other)
- Reducing excess tissue overhanging the clitoris
- Difficulty with exercise, hygiene, sexual activity and/or physical activity
- Repairing labial tear from childbirth
- Emotional distress due to bulging of labia through tight clothing
If you experience physical discomfort because of your labia, then you should consider labiaplasty for its functional benefits. It is also an option if you’re discontented with the shape of your labia.
When is labiaplasty medically necessary?
Labiaplasty is medically necessary when:
- Wearing underwear or a bathing suit, or physical activities like biking, running or dancing are painful or chafe the vulvar skin.
- Labia get tucked into the vagina during sex, resulting in painful tears in the vulvar skin.
The procedure is beneficial when the labia minora is larger than 4cm/1.5in which can cause significant pain and soreness during and/or after physical activity. The procedure is otherwise not medically necessary.
How much does it cost?
The cost of labiaplasty in New Jersey is determined on a case-by-case basis. It depends on the type of procedure, and takes into account the surgeon’s fee and hospital fee. You can get a clear idea of the cost after your initial consultation, following which you will receive a detailed quote for your procedure.
Does labiaplasty make the area tighter?
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic procedure on the labia. It focuses on reducing the size of labia or making them symmetrical. If vaginal tightening is required, then more extensive surgical or non-surgical treatment may be planned. We can recommend a customized treatment plan based on the results you desire.
Does labiaplasty reduce feeling?
Our labiaplasty procedure is unlikely to cause loss of sensation as no nerves are removed during the procedure. No nerves are damaged either as the network of nerves in the labia safeguards against the loss of sensation. You can rest assured that your vaginal sensitivity and sensation will remain unaffected by your labiaplasty reduction.
Is it normal to have extra skin down there?
Yes! Pregnancy, childbirth, age and genetics can contribute to excess skin in the vaginal area. The excess skin can get pinched and twisted during day-to-day activity, causing a little or a lot of pain and chafing. Labiaplasty can correct the issue effectively and safely.
How painful is labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is normally performed under local anesthesia. You may experience a bit of pain, discomfort and swelling after the procedure as the anesthesia wears off. This is easy to manage by following the post-operative instructions you receive from your surgeon.
