Can a Urologist Perform Labiaplasty? Qualifications and Considerations

Yes, a urologist can perform labiaplasty. Urologists specialize in the urinary tract and male/female genital anatomy. Labiaplasty (surgical reshaping of the labia minora/majora) falls within their surgical scope.

However, board certification in urology does not guarantee specific cosmetic expertise. Patients should:

• Verify the surgeon's specific experience with labiaplasty (number of cases, before/after photos).
• Confirm board certification (American Board of Urology).
• Consider a plastic surgeon or gynecologist with dedicated cosmetic genital surgery training as alternatives.
• Discuss goals, risks, recovery, and realistic expectations in consultation.

Choose a surgeon based on demonstrated skill in this specific procedure, not just specialty title.
