Labiaplasty in Nashville, TN
Reshaping the labia for comfort and confidence, handled with discretion from the first conversation.
What is labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a procedure that reduces or reshapes the labia minora, the inner vaginal lips, for physical comfort, function, and appearance. At Nixon Plastic Surgery in Nashville, TN, Dr. Nixon performs labiaplasty with discretion, careful technique, and a focus on patient comfort.
Labiaplasty is one of the most personal procedures in plastic surgery. It addresses concerns that can affect daily comfort, exercise, intimacy, and confidence. Every consultation and procedure is conducted with privacy and professionalism.
A functional problem as often as a cosmetic one.
Many patients seek labiaplasty for reasons that are functional rather than cosmetic. Enlarged or asymmetric labia can cause discomfort with clothing, exercise, cycling, intimacy, or hygiene. Others seek the procedure for appearance after pregnancy or with age. Dr. Nixon performs labiaplasty in Nashville with a focus on comfort, privacy, and natural looking results.
Labiaplasty is highly individualized. The technique chosen, trim or wedge, the amount of tissue removed, and the symmetry achieved all depend on your anatomy and your goals. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia depending on preference.
If you are considering body procedures in Nashville, your consultation is conducted with complete discretion. Dr. Nixon will discuss your concerns, evaluate your anatomy, and walk through what the procedure can address.

How is labiaplasty performed?
Labiaplasty is performed in an accredited surgical setting under local or general anesthesia. Dr. Nixon reshapes or reduces the labial tissue using carefully placed incisions, then closes with fine sutures that dissolve over time.
Your surgical plan may include several technical decisions:
- –Trim technique. The free edge of the labia minora is reduced for a smoother, shorter contour.
- –Wedge technique. A V shaped piece of tissue is removed and the edges are reapproximated.
- –Symmetry planning. Both sides are addressed to improve balance when appropriate.
- –Dissolvable sutures. Sutures dissolve on their own, so nothing needs to be removed.
- –Combined hood reduction. Clitoral hood reduction may be added when appropriate.
Reconstructive depth with cosmetic refinement.
Labiaplasty requires precision, gentle tissue handling, and an aesthetic eye. Dr. Nixon’s training emphasizes all three. He also approaches the consultation and the procedure with the discretion patients expect.
His Aesthetic Society endorsed aesthetic surgery fellowship in Newport Beach, California reinforced the refined technique this procedure requires for natural results.
