Reasons for assessment
Patients may describe excess skin, volume, asymmetry, rubbing or age- and weight-related changes. A clinician should distinguish skin excess from volume loss and other conditions.
Possible approaches
Surgical reduction removes selected skin or tissue. When volume loss is the concern, fat transfer or other options may be discussed, with different risks and evidence.
2026 pricing factors
The approach, operating time, anaesthesia, facility, liposuction or fat transfer, tests and aftercare influence the quote.
Recovery and results
Early swelling and bruising are expected, and residual swelling may continue for months. Scars, under- or over-resection, infection and asymmetry are possible.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as labiaplasty?
The word labiaplasty often refers to labia minora; majoraplasty specifically targets the outer labia majora.
Can volume be added instead of removed?
Sometimes, depending on anatomy and goals. Reduction and augmentation have different trade-offs.
When can sex resume?
Published guidance commonly uses a four-to-six-week range, but your surgeon must confirm healing.
