Have you ever felt self-conscious about the way your body feels or looks when you’re most intimate? You’re not alone. Most women look at labiaplasty as more than a vanity surgery, but as relief from pain, a confidence boost, and a greater sense of comfort. Perhaps your labia causes discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or even when wearing certain clothing. Whatever the reason, you deserve honest, empathetic, and professional consultation.
This guide breaks down labiaplasty cost and the reasons that extend far beyond the expense.
What Is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a procedure that reconstructs or reduces the labia minora (the inner lips of the vulva). In most women, it helps alleviate physical discomfort and enhances confidence in their appearance.
Typically performed as an outpatient surgery, labiaplasty takes one to two hours and can be performed with local or general anesthesia. Most patients can return to light activities in a few days, with full recovery in a few weeks.

Average Cost of Labiaplasty in the U.S.
National Range and Averages
Nationally, the average fee for labiaplasty is roughly $5,200, according to RealSelf, with patient-reported prices ranging from $2,000 to $11,000. However, the average cost in California is $6,193.
What Influences the Final Price?
Here are several important factors that influence the final cost:
- Surgeon experience and credentials: Board-certified plastic surgeons with a strong aesthetic track record may charge higher fees, reflecting their expertise and safety standards.
- Geographic location: Practicing in high-demand, high-priced areas like Newport Beach will carry a premium because of the local economy and competition.
- Surgical complexity: Some procedures involve additional steps, such as clitoral hood reduction or symmetry adjustments.
Anesthesia and facility fees: These can add $1,000–$2,500+ to your total cost.
Does Insurance Cover Labiaplasty?
Typically, labiaplasty procedures are considered elective and, therefore, not covered by insurance. However, if the procedure corrects medical problems like persistent irritation, recurrent infections, or pain, coverage may be obtained. An evaluation and documentation by your doctor are required. If eligible, at LEA Plastic Surgery, we accept full payment within 6 months, interest-free, through CareCredit.

Why Cheaper Isn’t Always Better
Choosing a provider based on the lowest price may carry risks. Lower-cost options sometimes involve:
- Inexperienced or non-specialized surgeons
- Substandard safety or facility protocols
- A higher likelihood of revision surgery
Labiaplasty is an intimate and technically nuanced procedure. Trust and experience should guide your choice.
