Labia Reduction and Vaginal Rejuvenation
I performed my first labia reduction in 1994, when just a resident. Training at the University of Toronto included a 6 month cosmetic surgery rotation in which patients could obtain cosmetic surgery from a senior resident at a reduced fee. A young woman came to the clinic requesting labia reduction because she was an actress and was being offered ‘Sharon Stone-type’ roles! Since then, Labia Reduction has grown in popularity, in part driven by the opportunity for women to see images on the internet of labia different from their own. The internet has also allowed women to become aware of the availability of this procedure. Labia reduction has obvious cosmetic and functional rewards for women with enlarged labia minora. Our procedures bring relief from chafing and discomfort, and increased personal confidence.
We don’t offer vaginal rejuvenation procedures, intended to tighten the vagina. We believe that gynecologists would be more expert in managing this problem, and they don’t currently recommend the procedure
