Labiaplasty: The dark stretchy skin you refer to may actually be labia minora hypertrophy. The labia minora commonly become stretchy or lax and can prolapse outside the labia majora causing irritation with physical activity and sexual intercourse. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon to learn about your options.

Give time 2 contract: This is normal immediately following pregnancy and is commonly due to vascular engorgement during pregnancy and delivery not unlike the same process that contributes to hemorrhoid formation. Allow at least 6/9 months for the tissue to contract (like your.Belly skin) and re-assess at that time. Labiaplasty is an option for persistent enlargement that is symptomatic.
