How much labia skin is removed, what method do I need and how long is the healing process?

Q: I am 17 years old about to turn 18 in a few months. I want the labiaplasty surgery because it is very hard everyday to look at. I get nervous in public when I think people are looking “down there”. I want the wedge method. I dont want it thin, i still want a little thickness. I cry a lot in the shower, it jiggles. Cant wear a bikini bottom, skinny jeans, or proper panties without adjusting or hanging out. I need to find a doctor that I can use for future use and won’t cut a lot of my labia off.

A: While the appearance of your vagina is certainly completely normal, you do have options to reduce the size of your inner lips – the labia minora. The procedure is called a labiaplasty. The labia minora are not removed, but they can be “trimmed” so that they fit within the outer lips (labia majora). This will eliminate the jiggle and they would no longer hang below the labia majora. Consider scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is trained and experienced in the procedure. He or she can examine you and customize a surgical plan to meet your needs.
