Women who feel that their labia are over-elongated or oversized—whether due to aging, genetic predisposition, or a result of childbirth—can experience both emotional and physical discomfort due to the excess tissue. Dr. Robyn Watts has long performed labia reductions in the Vancouver area to help turn that discomfort into relief and self-confidence.
We understand that seeking a labia reduction can be a delicate matter, but patients can rest assured that our team will be by their side to compassionately and discreetly answer any questions they might have and help them achieve the results they are looking for.

If the size or shape of your labia interferes with your daily life—whether by eroding your self-confidence, causing discomfort due to friction during intimate or other activities, or keeping you from wearing potentially revealing clothes like yoga pants—a labia reduction is worth considering.
When it comes to size, shape, and symmetry, there is no single way that labia should look. Some patients choose labia reduction surgery to restore their vaginal lips to an appearance more consistent with their pre-childbirth body. Others have always had labia they were unhappy with, while some have seen unwanted changes due to hormonal fluctuations, such as those that happen during menopause.
Labia reduction surgery—also known as labiaplasty—is a very personal procedure in a sensitive area. Many women feel empowered by their results, but it’s important to remember that any such surgery should be chosen for yourself. Do not choose this (or any) plastic surgery in an effort to please someone else or at their request. Labia reduction should be an affirming and self-motivated procedure, made to boost your own confidence and comfort.
Dr. Robyn Watts is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, and body contouring. Trained in Canada and the U.S., she leads plastic surgery at Richmond Hospital, practices at Cambie Surgical Centre, teaches at UBC, and is known for meticulous technique, compassion, and natural results.
Patients who choose this procedure have excess tissue removed, typically from the labia minora, to create a more comfortable and aesthetically desirable form. In most cases, Dr. Watts can improve the symmetry of the labia in addition to reducing size during the procedure.
Labia reduction surgery is performed by Dr. Watts at our Richmond office with the patient under local anesthetic to maximize comfort—without the need for general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes about 1.5 hours.
Following surgery, patients may experience bruising or swelling around the labia, but these side effects will gradually resolve on their own. During the four to six weeks of recovery, it’s best for patients to avoid strenuous exercise and activities that impact the lower body—such as bike riding and vaginal intercourse.
Dr. Watts will provide detailed post-surgical instructions to help you care for the area properly and ensure the best healing and results.
A breast lift can go a long way toward helping you discover your ideal self-image, but our team is ready to help meet your other cosmetic goals as well. We offer many different treatments and procedures as part of a holistic approach to beauty—many of which pair well with a breast lift. As mentioned earlier, a breast lift does not affect the volume or size of the breasts on its own. Patients seeking to increase breast size can choose from a variety of implants through breast augmentation. A combined augmentation and lift procedure allows patients to achieve both added volume and lifted contour while saving on recovery time.
Likewise, breast reduction procedures with Dr. Robyn Watts typically include a lift to ensure the most natural-looking results.
Mastopexies aren’t the only type of lift available, either. Dr. Robyn Watts also offers arm, lower body, and upper body lifts for patients looking to tighten other areas where sagging tissue may occur due to aging or significant weight loss.
