Many women during puberty or after childbirth may see their labia minora become unusually large or misshapen. Other women develop a loss of fullness in the labia majora after menopause. Surgical labial reduction, also called labiaplasty, can greatly improve the aesthetic appearance of the female genitalia, and alleviate the discomfort and embarrassment that may accompany excess labial tissue. At CaloAesthetics® Plastic Surgery Center, our surgeons perform labiaplasty in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, to help women from Floyds Knobs, Indiana, and other nearby areas relieve their physical discomfort and improve their confidence.
Labiaplasty can be a satisfying way to feel more comfortable. Request a consultation today or call

The anatomy of the female genitalia can vary significantly. Like breast sizes, the desired appearance of the labia will vary with individual preferences.
In some individuals, the labia minora (the inner frond of tissue) can be quite large and redundant, creating both a cosmetic and sometimes even a functional concern. Some women develop hypertrophic or enlarged labia minora after multiple childbirths or as a result of aging.
Surgeon
Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace has specialized expertise in a complete range of procedures and is dedicated to bringing the most advanced techniques and technology to the region.
Dr. Juan L. Quintero is an experienced and highly recognized plastic surgeon known for his exceptional patient care and beautiful, natural-looking results. He specializes in procedures of the face, breast, and body, including vaginal rejuvenation.
The best candidates for labiaplasty are healthy women who have oversized, sagging, or asymmetrical inner or outer labia. Improvements from this procedure include:
Relieving irritation and discomfort during sexual activity and athletics (such as bicycling, spinning), and while wearing fitted pants or bathing suits
Repairing damage caused by childbirth
Restoring fullness to the labia majora after menopause
Improving self-esteem
Women who would like to attain multiple improvements with one surgery may choose to have labiaplasty combined with another cosmetic procedure such as a tummy tuck or liposuction.
About the Labiaplasty Procedure
Reduction of the labia minora is the most common genital enhancement surgery for women. Many women choose to combine labiaplasty with vaginal rejuvenation (vaginoplasty) to tighten and repair the vagina and surrounding tissues. Labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. Most patients will take oral pain medication and/or sedatives. Twilight or general anesthesia is also available and can be performed in our AAAASF-approved operating rooms. The procedure takes less than 1 hour.
Enhance Your Recovery & Healing With Oxygen Therapy
Accelerate your postsurgical healing process and optimize your results with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at CaloAesthetics®. This time-tested treatment boosts oxygen levels in the bloodstream, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and diminishing scarring. Discover how HBOT elevates healing and enhances your surgical recovery!
Labiaplasty surgery costs usually range from $5,000 to $6,000, but may vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. We recommend scheduling a surgical consultation to perform a full assessment and determine the best approach for your needs. For our patients, we offer several financing options to enable you affordable monthly payments.

Will labiaplasty affect future childbirth?

How soon can I swim or go in a hot tub after labiaplasty?
Soaking in hot tubs and swimming may be resumed 4 weeks after labiaplasty.
How soon can I go to the tanning booth?
