Labiaplasty in Nashville With Dr. Olivia MaDan
Many women experience self-consciousness, physical discomfort, or functional concerns related to the appearance of their most intimate areas, especially when the labia minora or labia majora contain excess tissue or have changed due to hormonal changes, childbirth, or aging.
Every woman’s vaginal tissue is unique, and variations in the inner folds are completely normal. Still, many women seek treatment when enlarged or elongated tissue causes painful intercourse, irritation in tight clothing, or aesthetic concerns that affect body image and confidence.
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving comfort and appearance by reshaping the labia minora, labia majora, and clitoral hood. At BEYOND Collective, board‑certified plastic surgeon Dr. Olivia MaDan and her compassionate, all‑female team provide personalized care to help patients feel confident, comfortable, and supported throughout their female genital cosmetic surgery experience.
If you’re interested in learning how labiaplasty can significantly reduce your physical discomfort while enhancing the natural contour of your vaginal area, contact us at (615) 327-0303 or request your consultation today. We proudly serve patients throughout Metro Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that removes or reshapes excess labial tissue of the labia minora and, when needed, the clitoral hood or labia majora. The labia minora are the inner lips of the vaginal area, while the labia majora are the outer, hair-bearing folds that protect the vaginal canal, vaginal walls, and pelvic organs. The clitoral hood, or prepuce, is a small fold of vaginal tissue that covers the clitoris.
When the labia minora extend below the labia majora, it can cause concerns related to excess tissue and asymmetry, such as:
- Painful intercourse
- Irritation during exercise
- Chafing or pulling
- Discomfort with tampon or menstrual cup use
- Visibility through tight clothing
- Self-consciousness about your appearance
As one of Dr. MaDan’s most requested procedures, labiaplasty is highly customizable. During your consultation, she will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your symptoms, and create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals. She may also discuss related concerns such as vaginal dryness, vaginal laxity, vaginal looseness, urinary incontinence, or vaginal atrophy, which often benefit from complementary treatments like physical therapy, radiofrequency energy, or pelvic floor strengthening.
Labiaplasty benefits can include:
- Reduced chafing and physical discomfort
- Improved sexual satisfaction and sexual function
- Enhanced confidence and body image
- Reduced discomfort when using a tampon or menstrual cup
- Less visibility of the labia minora in tight clothing
- A smoother, more natural contour of the aesthetic labia minora
Labiaplasty is a popular cosmetic surgery among women of all ages, including younger patients who have not yet had children. While future pregnancies and vaginal deliveries may affect results, most women enjoy long-lasting improvements
What Are the Different Labiaplasty Techniques?
Why Technique Selection Matters
Because every labiaplasty patient has different concerns, Dr. MaDan will tailor her surgical plan to your specific anatomy, goals, and symptoms. During your consultation, she will evaluate your vaginal tissue, the relationship between your labia, and contributing factors such as vaginal laxity, dryness, or atrophy. She will then recommend the technique that best aligns with what you want to achieve.

What to Expect During Your Labiaplasty Consultation
A thorough consultation is essential for building trust and receiving personalized care based on your anatomy, symptoms, and goals.

Dr. MaDan approaches every consultation with empathy, professionalism, and an understanding of how intimate concerns can affect your confidence and body image.
To minimize self-consciousness, you’ll begin your visit fully clothed. Dr. MaDan will take time to learn about your lifestyle, health history, and the specific issues you want to improve. Please arrive prepared to answer questions about symptoms such as irritation, chafing, vaginal dryness, or discomfort during exercise or sexual intercourse. Once you are ready, you’ll change into one of our hand-dyed robes and move to a private exam room for a gentle physical assessment. During this evaluation, Dr. MaDan will examine your labia minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, and surrounding vaginal tissue to understand your anatomy and identify the source of your concerns.
After this exam, Dr. MaDan will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include labiaplasty alone or in combination with procedures such as clitoral hood reduction, labial reduction, or nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation options if concerns like vaginal laxity, vaginal looseness, urinary incontinence, or weakened vaginal muscles are present. She will also review potential risks, including pain, bleeding, infection, or scarring, and discuss realistic expectations for healing and results.
Throughout this private, one-on-one meeting, Dr. MaDan will take every measure to ensure you feel informed and empowered to make the best decisions for your health and well-being. Her goal is to help you achieve a comfortable, balanced, natural contour.

Candidates for labiaplasty in Tennessee often experience enlarged vaginal lips, elongated tissue, or aesthetic concerns that affect comfort, confidence, or daily activities. Many women seek treatment when excess tissue causes irritation, chafing, or painful intercourse, or when the appearance of their labia impacts their body image or self-confidence.

- Do not have body dysmorphic disorder, which can affect your expectations and satisfaction
- Have realistic goals and a positive outlook
- Have no immediate plans for pregnancy
During your consultation, Dr. MaDan will evaluate your anatomy, symptoms, and goals to determine whether labiaplasty is the right plastic surgery procedure for you. She will assess your labia minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, vaginal tissue, and surrounding vaginal area to understand how your concerns relate to your anatomy.
Some patients also present with concerns such as vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, dryness, or weakened vaginal muscles, which may benefit from complementary treatments like physical therapy, pelvic floor strengthening, or radiofrequency energy-based vaginal rejuvenation. If you experience these issues, Dr. MaDan will suggest remedies to incorporate into your personalized treatment plan for comprehensive, long-term improvements.

What to Expect During Your Nashville Labiaplasty?
Dr. MaDan usually performs labiaplasty in our in-office surgical suite using local anesthesia, making it a convenient and efficient option for most patients. If you choose to combine your labiaplasty with complementary procedures such as breast augmentation or a tummy tuck, you’ll be under general anesthesia.
If you get an in‑office procedure, you may eat and drink normally the morning of surgery, following Dr. MaDan’s instructions. For combination procedures under general anesthesia, please avoid eating or drinking after midnight.
Before your procedure begins, you will review your surgical plan with Dr. MaDan and have a chance to ask last-minute questions. She will confirm the details of your personalized treatment plan, including the labiaplasty technique that is most appropriate for your anatomy and goals, such as the trim method, edge resection, wedge resection, or extended central wedge resection.
On the day of your surgery, you’ll meet with Dr. MaDan to review your plan and ensure you feel comfortable. Patients undergoing labiaplasty in our Nashville office will receive a topical anesthetic followed by local anesthesia, which minimizes discomfort and reduces bleeding. Dr. MaDan may also perform labiaplasty under general anesthesia if you choose to combine it with other procedures or if it’s the safest choice based on your health history.
When performing the appropriate labiaplasty technique, Dr. MaDan will make precise incisions to remove excess tissue, refine aesthetics, and improve symmetry. If needed, she may also perform clitoral hood reduction, labial reduction, or adjustments to your labia majora to reduce irritation and restore a more natural contour.
Dr. MaDan places multiple layers of dissolvable sutures to create a smooth, tapered edge that heals naturally. She’ll apply ointment and dressings to protect the surgical wound and will teach you how to keep the area clean to support healing and reduce potential risks such as pain, bleeding, infection, or scarring. She will also review how to care for your incisions, reduce swelling, and protect your vaginal walls, vaginal canal, and surrounding tissues during early recovery.
