Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of redundant labia.
Landon Plastic Surgery, located in Tampa, Florida, has helped hundreds of women gain confidence with their intimate areas through cosmetic labia surgery. Led by board-certified Tampa plastic surgeon, Dr. Bruce Landon, MD, we have treated women that are concerned about the labia’s appearance, whether they have experienced enlarged labia after puberty or due to past pregnancy or trauma.
This surgery may be suitable for women that are experiencing the following concerns:

- Embarrassment from labia protrusion that is visible when wearing certain articles of clothing, such as close-fitting fitness apparel
- Irritated labia caused by friction from wearing clothing
