Labiaplasty in Montreal

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes the excess tissue from an enlarged labia minora. A labial reduction is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure to reduce physical discomfort and for aesthetic reasons.

About labiaplasty surgery techniques

Labiaplasties are becoming an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure globally, and we’re experiencing a growing number of consultations here at the clinic. The goal of a labiaplasty procedure is to remove the excess tissue and mucosa in the genital labia minora for aesthetic purposes, or for issues that many women have when engaging in a variety of physical activities, including sexual intercourse.

This cosmetic procedure can minimize symptoms caused by wearing tight clothing or participating in sports, improving both sexual satisfaction and self consciousness. Here are some of the surgical techniques that we offer in the clinic:

Wedge resection

The wedge resection technique decreases the prominence and hyperpigmentation of the labia minora (inner lips) by removing a wedge from each side. Dark pigmentation can also be removed, if centrally located, however, if the hyperpigmentation is along the entire length of the labia minora then a labia minora reduction may be necessary. This wedge procedure targets unwanted external female genitalia tissue and improves the shape of the labia. Dissolvable sutures are typically used during the healing process, which usually takes four to six weeks.

Trim technique

The trim procedure makes it possible to equalize the length of an asymmetric labia minora and make it as symmetrical as possible. This technique also removes the unwanted colour from the borders of the labia minora. It’s often used when the shape or remaining skin of the vaginal lips causes discomfort.

Wedge resection with extension

Chosen by most patients, this wedge procedure modifies the excess clitoral hood tissue and spreads forward on either side. The clitoral hood reduction incision camouflages itself in the fold already present between the labia minora and majora.

This technique is especially effective for those experiencing discomfort during sexual activity or whose vagina has undergone changes due to genetics, childbirth, or aging. It can be combined with other additional procedures such as vaginal tightening for complete vaginal rejuvenation.

Wedge resection with posterior release

Some patients have posterior communication between their two labia minora. The anatomy of each patient must be evaluated and in some cases the posterior part needs to be released through a small incision to prevent discomfort during sex.

This reconstructive surgery is often part of a larger treatment plan tailored to the shape and size of the labia. Our surgical team specializes in these nuanced techniques to achieve realistic expectations and final results that enhance both appearance and function.

Labia majora reduction

The labia majora (outer lips) can be reduced through different techniques, such as fat grafting, direct resection, or radiofrequency. Direct excision is done by camouflaging the scar in the fold between the labia minora and labia majora in an elliptical fashion.

This procedure can sometimes be combined with labiaplasty, with some additional recovery time required. Whether you’re concerned with excess labial tissue, excess skin, or the shape of the labia majora outer region, our surgical team can advise the best treatment for your aesthetic concerns.

Reduction of clitoral excess

Excess skin on either side of the clitoris can be resected without labiaplasty if there is no excess in the labia minora. The incisions are camouflaged in the natural folds on each side of the clitoris.
