Most corrections on women's genitalia are performed on the inner (small) and outer (large) labia.

Due to

• a congenital defect
• difficult childbirths
• significant weight loss
• age-related changes to the body

the labia may

• be too large
• slacken
• be too small.

This may result in pain during everyday movement or during sex. In addition, the trend for pubic shaving makes disproportions in the size of the inner and outer labia visible and gives rise to a desire for aesthetic correction.

Also, the mons veneris can be perceived as less aesthetically pleasing if it is overdeveloped due to

• genetic tendency
• weight gain
• menopause

and is overly visible under clothing.
