labiaplasty
What is Labiaplasty?
We define labiaplasty as a cosmetic gynecology procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora and/or labia majora for functional or aesthetic reasons. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, Dr. S. Sivakumar performs this surgery with precision, ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction.
