Large inner labia

Labia correction against large inner labia

Large inner labia - There is nothing wrong with large inner labia until you find them annoying or distracting. Large inner labia can hurt or cause discomfort. Some women experience this feeling while cycling, motorcycling, horse riding and sometimes during intercourse. For other women, it is not so much pain complaints, but rather aesthetic complaints. Tight skinny jeans or leggings, for example, can show a 'cameltoe'. In addition, you may not like the look of large inner labia.

Although there is no such thing as the 'normal vagina', it does appear that a certain type of vagina is commonly shown in adult entertainment. Did you know that this type of vagina is the least common, but because it is so common in adult entertainment, many think this is the 'normal' vagina. We are talking about a vagina whose labia minora are completely hidden by the labia majora and both sets of lips rest on the pelvic bone.

There are two types of procedures to address the large inner labia: edge resection and wedge resection. Both are done under local anaesthesia.

1. Edge resection involves removing the "excess" protruding edges of the labia.
2. A wedge resection preserves the original labial margins by cutting wedge-shaped skin from the centre of the labia minora, bringing the remaining skin together with dissolvable sutures.

The procedure will be further explained during the consultation. Dare to confide in us and we will do everything we can to achieve your goal!

Types of labia

Because labia vary so enormously, it is impossible to list all types. We would like to give you some common examples.

Asymmetrical inner labia
If one inner lip is longer, thicker or larger than the other, it is considered asymmetrical. It is actually quite normal for the vulva's labia minora not to be exactly equal. Often, you won't even notice this, unless the difference is so great that it is noticeable. For example, if one labia is very long and the other is not.

Large inner labia
The inner lips are often longer than the outer lips, making them stick out. This difference in length can be more subtle, with the inner lips peeking out just a little.

Prominent outer labia
Prominent outer lips sit much lower on your vulva. The skin can be thick and swollen or thin and a bit loose - or somewhere in between.

Long, dangling inner labia
This is a variation of the prominent inner lips. They can dangle up to an inch (or more) past your outer lips. They may even hang outside your underwear. You may notice extra skin or folds.

Long, dangling outer labia
This is a form of prominent outer lips. They are usually on the larger side, often leaving the skin thin and loose. As with dangling inner lips, it is possible for the folds to hang outside your underwear. This can give your inner lips a bit more exposure.

Small, open labia
Your outer lips are flat and rest against your pubic bone, but are slightly separated, revealing your labia minora.

Small, closed labia
The outer lips are not set apart in this case, so they completely hide and contain your inner lips. Although this type of vulva is often seen in adult entertainment, it is actually the least common type of vulva in general.

No one type is better than another. What you find beautiful depends on your own perception. During your labia correction, we will discuss your wishes and see which type suits you best and what is possible.
