Labiaplasty or labia reduction is a cosmetic procedure performed to correct excess skin and tissue to labia minora. Though it is normal and natural for some women to have excess skin and tissue to this area, these women can tend to feel self-conscious in bathing suits and yoga pants.

Over 12,000 labiaplasty procedures were performed last year by members of the American Society of Plastic Surgery.

It's hard to imagine life without social media in today's modern world. We have the ability now to connect with old friends and family all over the world, thanks to social media. Approximately 70% of people in the United States use some form of social media each day.

Popular treatments that men and women want from their plastic surgeon because of social media influence are rhinoplasty, treatments to reduce wrinkles, breast augmentation, and lip augmentation, thanks to the Kylie Jenner lip craze! These trends on social media can often be influenced by wanting to gain more likes or comments on social media and often times wanting to replicate images we have seen on Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook. Millennials have been a leader in the selfie craze and are a very tech savvy generation.
