Labiaplasty is an increasingly popular female genital plastic surgery(Sánchez IO et al. Motivational Factors for Labiaplasty: A Systematic Review of Medical Research. J Clin Med. 2025 Apr 14;14(8):2686); however, the motivational factors for women who undergo this procedure are controversial and not fully understood.

The majority of patients undergoing labiaplasty do so for a combination of functional impairment and aesthetic reasons. These motivations may be influenced by external factors, such as social expectations, media influences, and interpersonal experiences that shape body perception and normality standards. Notably, there is a scarcity of studies that focus exclusively on women who have undergone only labiaplasty within the broader context of genital cosmetic surgeries. Most retrieved studies involve samples in which, for a number of subjects, other surgical interventions accompany labiaplasty, often including clitoral hood alteration. Although clitoral hood reduction is another elective procedure, it appears that women frequently undergo clitoral hood reduction alongside labiaplasty.
