Labiaplasty Majora in Scottsdale
Labiaplasty of the labia majora is a specialized procedure that reshapes or reduces the outer lips of the vulva. Some women seek this surgery to address excess fullness, asymmetry, or changes in volume related to weight fluctuations, aging, or hormonal shifts. Others are simply uncomfortable with the way the area appears in clothing or during intimacy. Whether performed alone or alongside other labiaplasty techniques, this procedure can refine contour, restore proportion, and enhance your overall sense of comfort and confidence.
Dr. Ashley Howarth, a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at the Mayo Clinic, is widely regarded for her work in female aesthetic surgery. She brings a refined, detail-oriented approach to labiaplasty majora, focusing on creating a balanced and natural appearance while preserving the integrity and softness of the tissue. Every decision is guided by your anatomy, preferences, and long-term wellbeing.
What is a Labiaplasty Majora?
Labiaplasty majora involves removing or reshaping excess skin and/or soft tissue from the labia majora, the outer lips of the vulva. This can help reduce bulkiness, address asymmetry, or improve definition. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat, or fat grafting may be performed to restore volume.
This procedure is often chosen by women who feel self-conscious about fullness in fitted clothing or changes in the area’s shape over time. Dr. Howarth carefully plans each case to create refined contours that feel smooth, natural, and beautifully proportioned.
Why Women Consider Labiaplasty Majora
Physical Discomfort
Excess volume in the outer labia can create visible bulging in swimsuits or clothing. Labiaplasty majora offers a smoother, more discreet silhouette.
Changes Over Time
Weight fluctuations, childbirth, or age-related changes can alter the volume and shape of the labia majora. This procedure helps restore youthful definition.
Aesthetic Concerns
When performed alongside labia minora reduction, reshaping the outer lips can improve symmetry and create a more cohesive, refined appearance.
Reclaim Confidence
Many women choose this procedure to feel more comfortable and confident in their own body, with results that align with their personal sense of beauty and proportion.
