Labiaplasty is a cosmetic gynaecological procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and sometimes the labia majora (outer lips). This treatment helps improve aesthetic appearance, physical comfort, and emotional confidence for women who feel discomfort due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia. The condition may be natural (present from birth) or develop due to childbirth, ageing, hormonal changes, or genetics. Labiaplasty is a safe, quick, and minimally invasive procedure performed by experienced cosmetic gynaecologists and plastic surgeons in India.
India is now one of the top destinations worldwide for intimate cosmetic procedures like labiaplasty, offering highly skilled doctors, world-class facilities, advanced laser techniques, and lower costs than in Western countries.
At VivaVel Health, we connect international patients with leading women’s wellness and cosmetic surgery centres in India, providing confidential, compassionate, and professional care throughout the journey.
You may consider labiaplasty if you experience:
Discomfort or pain during exercise, cycling, or intercourse.
Irritation or chafing from tight clothing.
Visible asymmetry or enlarged labia causing self-consciousness.
Difficulty maintaining hygiene due to tissue folds.
Reduced sexual confidence or emotional distress.
Enlarged or asymmetrical labia may occur due to:
Genetic factors or natural anatomy.
Childbirth trauma or vaginal stretching.
Hormonal changes during puberty or menopause.
Ageing causes tissue laxity.
Friction from clothing or physical activity.

You experience persistent pain or discomfort during daily activities.
The labia cause functional or psychological distress.
