What Is Labiaplasty?

The source page notes two main categories of women seeking cosmetic genital surgery: those with congenital conditions such as intersex, and those with no underlying condition who wish to alter the appearance of their genitals because they believe they do not fall within a normal range.
Reasons, Considerations, and Risks
The size, color, and shape of labia vary significantly and may change as a result of childbirth, sexual intercourse, aging, and other events. Conditions addressed by labiaplasty may include congenital defects and abnormalities, such as vaginal atresia, Müllerian agenesis, intersex conditions, and tearing or stretching of the labia minora caused by childbirth, accident, or age.
The source page states that risks of the procedure include permanent scarring, infections, bleeding, irritation, and nerve damage leading to increased or decreased sensitivity.
