    By Ramon Yera, MD on 11/11/19 (last updated on 05/14/26)

    Is there a surgery to correct a protruding labia?

    Advantages Minimally Invasive Outpatient Labiaplasty Surgery

    Yes. The surgery that is performed to reshape or reduce labial length is known as a Labiaplasty. Although many women elect to have labia reduction due to cosmetic reasons, because they feel self-conscious in front of their partners, others may wish to undergo labiaplasty procedures to eliminate the pain or irritation resulting from twisting or tugging of the excess tissue while riding a bike or having sexual intercourse or wearing certain styles of lingerie.

    For those women who are self-conscious about their genitals and desire surgery for aesthetic reasons, labiaplasty is a vaginal surgery procedure that can enhance the cosmetic appearance of the outer vagina, giving these patients greater self-esteem.

    Labiaplasty Before and After Image

    How is labia reduction surgery performed? 

    Labiaplasty surgery is done on an out-patient basis, which means that you can go home afterward. It can be performed with local anesthesia plus some sedating medication so that you’re comfortably asleep during surgery. The procedure typically lasts from two to three hours, after which you’ll spend one hour in the recovery area before you can be taken home by your pre-arranged ride.

    There are two surgical methods for performing a labiaplasty. After examining you, your doctor will ask you to express what you hope to achieve with this surgery before discussing each approach in detail and recommending the one that will best achieve your goal.

    You will be encouraged to ask many questions to make sure that you have a good understanding of each surgical technique prior to making your decision to undergo labiaplasty.

    The two surgical techniques for labia reduction are:

    Trimming technique

    The most popular labiaplasty technique involves trimming a strip of skin and muscle from the outermost edges of the labia in order to reduce its length and eliminate some of the darkened skin along the border that some women find undesirable. The wound is then closed using absorbable stitches (suture).

    Wedging technique

    In a wedging labiaplasty, the surgeon removes a triangular-shaped wedge of tissue from each labia before sewing the two exposed wound borders together with an absorbable suture. This method is for reducing the fullness of the labia without shortening its length.

    What is recovery like after a labia reduction surgery?

    Outpatient Labiaplasty

    Immediately following your procedure, you will be asked to wait in the post-op area until your anesthesia wears off. You will need to have a pre-arranged companion to take you home.

    You will likely have some pain and swelling for the first week after surgery. Because it can be painful to sit, most women plan on taking a week off from work. A donut-shaped cushion can help take the pressure off your genitals while sitting. Applying ice compresses to the area for 20 minutes at a time several times daily helps with swelling.

    Your surgeon will advise you to refrain from any vaginal sexual activity for about four to six weeks in order to allow you to heal properly. After six weeks, most patients are able to return to their normal routine.

    Are there risks involved with a labiaplasty surgery?

    As with any surgery, there are risks. Complications from a labia reduction surgery can include:

    • Bleeding
    • Bruising
    • Infection
    • Loss or change of sensation in the genitals
    • Lingering pain

    Welcome to the first minimally invasive outpatient surgical practice dedicated to women

    Dr. Yera and Dr. Aliabadi, Gynecological Surgeons

    For years, Drs. Yera and Aliabadi have spared women from experiencing invasive open surgeries associated with disfiguring surgical scars, extended hospital stays, and long painful recoveries.

    All of this unnecessary suffering was simply because women weren’t aware that minimally invasive out-patient surgery was available.

    Luckily, the women of Southern California (and those who wish to travel here) now have a choice. Drs. Aliabadi and Yera are among a handful of elite American OB-GYN surgeons who perform Minimally Invasive Out-Patient Hysterectomies.

    Watch Dr. Aliabadi remove an 8-pound fibroid tumor laparoscopically on The Doctors TV Show.

    After performing thousands of these procedures and teaching this surgical technique to gynecologists throughout the U.S. and abroad, Drs. Aliabadi and Yera collaborated to create an outpatient surgery practice exclusively for women. Their goal is to raise the bar for women’s health by making these procedures more widely available to women everywhere.

    Our Patients Say...

    patients block

    When she diagnosed me I felt this overwelming sense of relief that I hadn't had in years. See, I knew something wasn't right, but every doctor I went to just did the normal tests and told me I was fine and that everything was normal. Long story short, I required surgery and Dr. Aliabadi's staff went above and beyond to get me scheduled for surgery that week so I could be on the road to recovery sooner rather than later.

    After surgery Dr. Aliabadi AND her staff followed up with me to make sure I was OK.

    Amy J. (on Yelp)

    She very thoroughly explained everything she found, why it's happening and what the best course of action is. For the first time ever, I felt heard and understood and most importantly I felt truly cared for. If you're experiencing similar issues, I beg you to please go see her and not waste your time on any other doctor.

    Sofia B. (on Yelp)

    The best OB you will ever have. Hands down. Changed my life! Dr. Aliabadi is extremely knowledgeable and changed my quality of my life with endometriosis.

    Yasmine H. (on Yelp)

    Our sincere gratitude and appreciation in having Dr. Aliabadi as our physician. We are deeply grateful for the way she manages her practice, her appointment visits, how well she knows her profession, and how much she truly cares.  Most importantly, we are grateful for her true understanding of what a patient is going through, not only physically but emotionally. Thank you and please know we very much appreciate you!

    Jim S. (on Google)

    I was having issues with an ovarian cyst (never had one in my life before this).  I ended up needing a laparoscopic surgery and although I was terrified and the surgery was sudden (I'm afraid of anything medical), I felt completely at ease knowing that Dr. Aliabadi was going to be doing my surgery. The surgery was a breeze (in and out with no complications within hours). 2 weeks post-op I feel almost back to normal. The incisions are so small that 6 months from now I will hardly notice them.

    Brittany H. (on Yelp)

    Dr. Aliabadi is a dream. Really, I can't even put into words how amazing she is.  My husband says "she's such a badass" and he means that with all sincerity :) She is an expert in her field and knowledgeable beyond.  She is a no BS kinda doctor, but compassionate at the same time.  She is straight forward, direct and a top-notch quality doctor.

    Sabrina S. (on Yelp)

    The knowledge of Doctor Thais Aliabadi is amazing.  She explained to me in detail about my problem.  Other doctors never spent so much time on the explanation.  She told me right away what caused my pain and did some tests that other doctors never did to find out what caused my pain.  I highly recommend Dr. Aliabadi to everyone.  She will find the solution to your problem!

    Lana S. (on Yelp)

    The most caring and amazing doctor I have ever been to. Saved my life and always does what is right for the patient. Makes you feel very comfortable and is very knowledgeable and thorough in her approach. I recommend her to all my friends.

    Jimmey K. (on Yelp)

    Dr. Aliabadi took a lifetime worth of pain away in under 2 hours! She was the only one who listened to me and genuinely cared enough to help me with my endometriosis. Although the surgery wasn't cheap, it has already changed my life tremendously in just 1 short year. It was worth every penny and I'm so very grateful for her!

    Lesley B. (on Yelp)

    Dr. Aliabadi diagnosed me almost instantly and laid out a plan of action that has proven to be 100 percent effective. I HIGHLY recommend her.

    Grace P. (on GatherUp)

    If not for Dr. Aliabadi the tumor on my right ovary may have turned cancerous. In my opinion she saved my life. Forever in her debt. I love this woman. Kimmy and the rest of the staff make going to the doctor almost a treat.

    Mary M. (on GatherUp)

    Dr. Aliabadi made me feel immediately at ease and took the time to explain various medical issues and numerous options available to me. She identified issues and concerns that my previous doctors had missed. She truly has an encyclopedic knowledge of all medical issues, and I am truly grateful to her for the incredible care she has provided to me.

    P. N. (on GatherUp)

    It's always a good experience in your office. Dr. Aliabadi is wonderful and the whole office does a great job. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming - unusual in a doctor's office.

    Jane M. (on GatherUp)

    Love the office, staff and Dr. Aliabadi - I have been a patient for years - She has the best in-office technology and knowledge to be sure you leave knowing you are healthy and have the best health care for our times

    Sandra M. (on GatherUp)

    Dr. Aliabadi is the ideal ob-gyn. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, thorough, considerate, and empathetic. I enthusiastically recommend her to friends and family. She is generous with her time and advice and never rushes through appointments. She addresses every question and concern with great care and attention. Her office staff is always very pleasant and conducts business in a very expeditious and courteous manner.

    Michelle S. (on GatherUp)

    Dr. Aliabadi is amazing. After several doctors and different opinions about my medical options, ranging from hysterectomy to half completed procedures, she is the only one that encouraged me and gave me hope for a better quality of life. I would definitely recommend her expertise and skills to those in need.

    C. H. (on GatherUp)

    I love Dr. Aliabadi and everyone in her office. You will not find a more knowledgeable and compassionate OB/GYN, or a more supportive and accommodating office.

    Nanika L. (GatherUp)

    Thais is the best and I always value her input and advice. Her confidence and commitment to me as her patient has never been in question. She goes above and beyond what most doctors suggest and analyze in various parts of my health. I appreciate her very much.

    Portia F. (on GatherUp)

    It was absolutely life changing. Dr. Aliabadi is God’s biggest gift to families around the world, especially those of us who were living in chronic pain before we had the pleasure of meeting her! I can’t thank her and her team enough for what they’ve done for me.

    Lesley B. (on GatherUp)

    I'm so blessed to have had Dr. Aliabadi for my procedure, a doctor with such great compassion for her patients. Her staff in the office as well as the surgery center made me feel very special and gave me the best care anyone could ask for. Thank you.

    Linda B. (on Facebook)

    Dr. Aliabadi is the best OB/GYN surgeon in the world. She made me feel like my health was important to her. Dr. Aliabadi made my anxiety disappear when she said I could have an outpatient hysterectomy. I was driving and able to complete a 4 1/2 mile walk three days after surgery. I am so happy that I had the Laparoscopic Hysterectomy-Minimally Invasive procedure.

    Sheila B. (on Google)

    Dr. Aliabadi is the best doctor I have ever had with the best staff and group of women at her side. This entire office is truly a pleasure to visit each time, assuring you the absolute best experience possible no matter your circumstances that bring you. All while Dr. Aliabadi acts as your advocate, listens to you, and truly champions your health and well-being above all.
