Labiaplasty: Once you are tired of the labial growth and if it's something that still bothers you, then there is a surgery called "labiaplasty", or reduction of the labia. Think of it as circumcision for women.

Not causing soreness: You are describing normal genitalia. If you have soreness, you probably have another cause, such as a yeast infection. You should be seen by your gynecologist or primary care physician.

Yes: This is not an abnormality but it is a cosmetic concern for many women who present for reduction (labiaplasty). The labia majora (outer) protect the labia minora (inner) in many women as if they were "bumpers". Hair adds further protection. When women are shaved and their inner lips protrude, they are subjected to frictional trauma which may cause reactive darkening & thickening.

With Labiaplasty: This is amongst the reasons a woman will consider labiaplasty. Reduction of the labia minora is the most common operation we perform in the area.

Labia Reduction: Patients who present with “enlarged labia” may have problems wearing certain clothing, exercising, riding bikes/horses, and/or with sexual activity. These patients may be candidates for labia minora reduction surgery (labiaplasty). Careful selection of surgeon is important; ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
