Labiaplasty in Atlanta is a procedure on the labia to help reduce the size and improve the appearance of the labia minora. Labiaplasty is labia reduction surgery which reduces large labia minora or reshapes uneven labia, improving their appearance and reducing associated discomfort. Labiaplasty is also labia surgery which removes darkened folds and excess labia minora to help create a more symmetric cleaner appearance of vaginal area.
A labiaplasty refers to improvement in the size and appearance of the labia minora, which can become darkened, enlarged, and sagging from pregnancy or a number of other reasons.
