Vulvar Reduction

Vulvar Reduction is a specialized cosmetic and functional surgical procedure designed to reshape, refine, and restore the external genital area — particularly the vulva, which includes the labia majora and labia minora. The goal of this surgery is to enhance comfort, symmetry, and aesthetic appearance, while preserving sensitivity and natural function.

Many women choose vulvar reduction to address concerns such as excess tissue, asymmetry, irritation during physical activities, or aesthetic dissatisfaction — often following childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes. At Pragati Aesthetic & Reconstructive Clinic, we perform this procedure with utmost precision, privacy, and compassion to help women feel more confident and comfortable in their own bodies.

What Does Vulvar Reduction Involve?

Vulvar reduction typically focuses on removing or reshaping excess skin and tissue of the labia majora or labia minora to achieve a balanced and natural appearance. The procedure can also be combined with other intimate rejuvenation techniques, such as clitoral hood reduction or vaginal tightening, depending on individual needs.

  • Labia Minora Reduction: Trims and reshapes the inner lips to reduce protrusion or irritation.
  • Labia Majora Reduction: Contours or tightens the outer lips for a firmer, smoother appearance.
  • Combination Approach: Addresses both internal and external vulvar structures for symmetry and comfort.

Who Can Benefit from Vulvar Reduction?

This procedure is ideal for women who experience:

  • Discomfort or pain from enlarged or uneven labia during exercise, cycling, or intercourse
  • Chronic irritation, chafing, or difficulty maintaining hygiene
  • Aesthetic concerns affecting confidence or self-esteem
  • Changes in vulvar shape after childbirth, aging, or hormonal fluctuations

Procedure Overview

Vulvar reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or short general anesthesia, depending on patient comfort. It is a delicate, outpatient procedure lasting about 45–90 minutes.

  • Precise markings are made to guide tissue reshaping.
  • Excess skin and tissue are carefully trimmed or sculpted using laser or radiofrequency tools.
  • Fine dissolvable sutures are placed to promote healing and minimize scarring.
  • Patients return home the same day and can resume light activity within a few days.

Benefits of Vulvar Reduction

  • Improved comfort in daily activities and intimate moments
  • Enhanced vulvar symmetry and aesthetic appearance
  • Reduced irritation, itching, or hygiene difficulties
  • Minimally visible scars with long-lasting results
  • Boosted body confidence and emotional well-being

Aftercare & Recovery

Recovery after vulvar reduction is generally smooth and well-tolerated. Patients are advised to:

  • Keep the area clean and dry, following prescribed wound-care instructions
  • Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing to prevent friction
  • Avoid sexual activity, swimming, and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
  • Use prescribed ointments or pain relief medications as directed
  • Follow up regularly with your surgeon for checkups and healing assessment
