Should I get labiaplasty? What surgery would I be fit for?

Q: I don’t like my vagina, I think it is so weird and abnormal! My clitoris has extra skin and it goes down to my lips and one lip is bigger than the other. This is also makes it to where if my legs are closed that one lip sticks out unless I adjust myself to a way where it doesn’t do that. Does my vagina look normal? What surgery would I be fit for? Labiplasty? Clitoral hood reduction? I’ve never seen any other females vagina so I don’t know if mine is normal.

A: Rest assured, the appearance of your vagina is normal. The size and shape of both the inner and outer vaginal lips varies from woman to woman. However, like other areas of the body, if you are bothered by the appearance of your labia minora (the inner vaginal lips), it can be corrected surgically. Based on your pictures, you might consider a labiaplasty. With this surgery, the labia minora are surgically reduced in size so they are completely inside the labia majora (outer lips) and symmetric. Some women have also reported discomfort during sex or tampon insertion due to large inner lips. This is also improved with labiaplasty.
