According to recent studies and procedure tracking from platforms like the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and RealSelf, there has been a consistent uptick in both surgical and non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedures. In 2024 alone, labiaplasty saw a 12% year-over-year increase, and non-surgical vaginal treatments have nearly doubled in search volume since 2022.

But what’s behind this trend?

For many women, it’s not about vanity. It’s about comfort, confidence, and the ability to feel like themselves again—especially after events like childbirth, menopause, or weight fluctuations. Others are influenced by wellness culture, social media transparency, and improved access to education around intimate health.

Vaginal rejuvenation is an umbrella term that can refer to either surgical or non-surgical procedures that aim to:

• Enhance the appearance of the vaginal area
• Improve function (such as tightness or lubrication)
• Alleviate discomfort during intimacy or exercise
• Restore confidence and body harmony

At its core, it’s about personal choice. And thanks to advancements in aesthetic medicine, the options are more versatile—and less invasive—than ever before.

1. Labiaplasty (Surgical)

Labiaplasty remains the most well-known vaginal rejuvenation procedure. It involves reshaping or reducing the size of the labia minora (inner lips) or, in some cases, the labia majora (outer lips). The goal is to create a more balanced, symmetrical appearance—or to reduce physical discomfort caused by tugging, chafing, or visibility in certain clothing.

Most requested by:

• Postpartum women experiencing stretched or elongated labia
• Women experiencing discomfort in tight clothing or during workouts
• Patients seeking greater symmetry or aesthetic refinement

2025 Update:

Patients are increasingly seeking natural-looking results over dramatic alterations. The focus has shifted to refinement and balance, with many surgeons tailoring outcomes to complement individual anatomy rather than chasing a single beauty standard.

2. Vaginoplasty (Surgical)

This procedure tightens the vaginal canal, often after childbirth or age-related laxity. While it’s less common than labiaplasty, it’s requested by women experiencing decreased sensation or functional concerns during intimacy.

Vaginoplasty may be performed alone or in combination with labiaplasty for a comprehensive rejuvenation plan.

Using insights from RealSelf, Healthline’s 2025 “Wellness Forecast,” and internal patient surveys from clinics across the U.S., here are the top reasons women are choosing vaginal rejuvenation procedures this year:

1. Physical discomfort – 41%
2. Postpartum changes – 36%
3. Increased self-confidence – 32%
4. Improved sexual wellness – 28%
5. Aesthetic preferences – 25%
6. Better fit in swimwear or activewear – 19%

It’s clear that while aesthetic goals are still part of the conversation, functionality and comfort are top of mind for most patients.

• Improved comfort – Less friction and irritation during exercise, intimacy, or daily life.
• Enhanced symmetry and appearance – A more balanced or streamlined look, if desired.
• Boosted confidence – Many patients report feeling more at ease in intimate moments or form-fitting clothing.
• Better sexual satisfaction – Especially for those experiencing laxity or dryness post-birth or with age.
• Minimally invasive options available – Non-surgical devices offer gentle, progressive improvements with no downtime.

• Downtime (for surgery) – Labiaplasty may require 1–2 weeks of downtime, and full healing takes up to 6 weeks.
• Cost – Not typically covered by insurance, even if the concern is functional rather than cosmetic.
• Emotional readiness – Like any aesthetic procedure, emotional motivation and expectations should be discussed openly.
• Results vary – Non-surgical results are gradual and may require multiple sessions. Surgical results depend heavily on surgeon experience.

You may be a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation or labiaplasty if:

• You experience tugging, pinching, or discomfort during movement or intimacy
• You’ve noticed changes after childbirth or menopause
• You feel self-conscious about the look of your labia
• You want to enhance your confidence or address dryness, laxity, or mild incontinence
• You’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations
