If you've been feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable due to the appearance of your labia, this procedure can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Labia Reduction Surgery: What New York Women Should Know

Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh performs labia reduction surgery, also known as labiaplasty, for women in NYC who experience discomfort or embarrassment regarding their labia. Following surgery, the labia are generally smaller, more symmetrical, and more comfortable.

Some women are born with large or misshapen labia, while others begin seeing undesirable changes—elongation, asymmetry, and volume loss—with age and multiple pregnancies. For some patients, the issue may be strictly cosmetic, causing embarrassment and interfering with a healthy sexual relationship. Others may suffer from extreme discomfort caused by intercourse, everyday activities, or even restrictive clothing. If you suffer emotionally or physically because of your labia, a NaturaWoman® Labiaplasty might be right for you.

Dr. Alizadeh’s NaturaWoman® Labiaplasty Technique

At Cosmoplastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alizadeh understands the highly sensitive and personal nature of this issue. As such, he and his staff try to make labiaplasty patients feel completely comfortable from the initial consultation to the final follow-up appointment.

Dr. Alizadeh has perfected his NaturaWoman® Labiaplasty technique, using innovative strategies to hide scars on the inner aspect of the labia while minimizing the risk of infection. He can also combine NaturaGlow® Fat Transfer with the labiaplasty to add volume and pleasing contours to the labia majora or outer labia. In addition, he can perform a vaginoplasty to tighten the vaginal canal, especially in women who have had traumatic tears from natural childbirth, or he may combine a clitoropexy or clitoral-hood reduction if needed. Dr. Alizadeh will customize your labiaplasty procedure to address your specific needs and desires; your safety and complete satisfaction are his primary objectives. By law, physicians cannot share your medical information without your consent, so you will have complete control over the confidentiality of your procedure. We guarantee it.

Your Initial Labiaplasty Consultation  

During your initial consultation with Dr. Alizadeh at Cosmoplastic Surgery, we will discuss your concerns and labiaplasty goals. Dr. Alizadeh will perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and explain the procedure in detail, including any recommended complementary treatments such as a clitoropexy or vaginoplasty. Since labiaplasty is highly personalized, pricing will be based on the complexity of your case and whether additional procedures are combined. You will leave your consultation with a clear understanding of the treatment plan and expected results.

What Will My Recovery and Results Be Like?

Following labiaplasty in NYC, most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for the first few days, which can be managed with pain medication. While you’ll need to avoid strenuous activity, sexual intercourse, and certain physical exercises for a few weeks, many women feel comfortable returning to work after a few days. Full results are typically visible once the swelling subsides, revealing smaller, more symmetrical labia that enhance both comfort and appearance. Your final results are long-lasting and can permanently boost your quality of life.
