We are currently in the middle of discovery depositions in a medical malpractice case involving a labia reduction. I'm assuming your friend is talking about her labia majora, which is what this case centers on -- although not as big as the pic

I've learned more about labiaplaty than I ever cared to know!!
In our case, the lady interviews a couple of docs, none of whom have performed the procedure more than twice in their careers, and ended up with a labia amputation, literally. She is in much worse shape now than she was when she began. Inserting tampons is difficult, sex is painful, she has urinary incontinence (not sure I still understand the relevance here, but med experts are saying it's so) -- has to use vaginal dilators daily, testosterone cream, all sorts of stuff.
We have deposed over ten doctors so far in this case, and every single one of them said while they would perform the procedure (even though they have done two or less in their careers, and some only assisted during residency), it is almost always unnecessary. All of them have indicated that therapy would be more beneficial than the procedure in most cases.
If it is purely for cosmetic reasons and not because of some health concern, I would caution her to rethink it. If she's dead-set on going through with it, please tell her to interview doctors thoroughly....because once it's done wrong, there's very little chance of fixing it. Add in the normal risks associated with surgery, and it doesn't seem worth it unless it's absolutely medically necessary.
If it weren't a violation of confidentiality, I would send you a picture of the botched labiaplasty we're working on to share with her; she would change her mind, quickly!!! It's that scary!!!
