Labiaplasty | Boca Raton, FL
Improve comfort and confidence with expert labiaplasty surgery in Boca Raton, FL.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and reduces the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and, in some cases, the labia majora (outer vaginal lips) to improve comfort, appearance, and confidence. The labia minora are the inner folds of skin that protect the vaginal opening, while the labia majora are the outer, hair-bearing folds that encase the labia minora.
This procedure can address both functional concerns and aesthetic preferences, helping women feel more comfortable in their daily activities and intimate relationships. Dr. Georgina Nichols specializes in precise labiaplasty techniques that prioritize both function and aesthetics, ensuring natural-looking results and improved comfort while preserving the natural anatomy and function of the vulva.
