What the one Lancaster practice that lists labiaplasty says on its own website (checked September 2026); something it does not mention it may still offer, so ask at your consultation.
Labiaplasty is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia with or without intravenous sedation.
Small incisions are used to excise a wedge of tissue from the inner labia. Once the excess tissue is removed, the incisions are closed and will be inconspicuous once they heal. This is Dr. Schlechter’s preferred procedure for labiaplasty.
Labiaplasty generally runs $4,000–$9,000 per procedure, and each Lancaster clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Lancaster clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Lancaster providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Labiaplasty series.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Yes, and it covers an extremely wide range. Published anatomical studies show labia minora length varying by several centimeters between healthy adults, and asymmetry between sides is the norm rather than the exception. A great deal of anxiety about this comes from pornography and from heavily edited imagery, neither of which represents a typical population. A good consultation includes a surgeon telling you plainly that your anatomy is within normal range, if it is, and that surgery is optional.
The most commonly reported reason is physical: chafing during exercise, discomfort while cycling or riding, pain during intercourse, or difficulty wearing certain clothing. Appearance is a secondary reason for many patients and the primary one for some. Both are legitimate, and patients with physical symptoms tend to report high satisfaction rates.
Nationally, $4,000 to $9,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. Insurance generally does not cover it unless there is a documented medical indication, which is uncommon. Confirm what the quote includes, since anesthesia is sometimes quoted separately for this procedure.
The specific concerns are over-resection, meaning removing too much tissue, which is difficult to correct and can cause chronic discomfort, along with scarring, changes in sensation, and asymmetry between sides. Over-resection is the complication that most often leads to regret, which makes conservative surgical judgment more valuable here than aggressive results. Ask the surgeon directly about their approach to how much tissue they remove.
Both plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and gynecologists with specific training in this procedure perform it. What matters is documented experience with this operation specifically, not general credentials in either field. Ask how many they perform annually and to see before and after photographs. Be cautious of clinics marketing packaged vaginal rejuvenation bundles combining surgery with devices and injectables, since that framing tends to prioritize sales over surgical judgment.
