How Weight Loss and Menopause Affect the Labia

This week on Beauty & The Brain, Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP are back together for a conversation that may feel taboo at first—but is incredibly real for many women.

They’re talking about the external changes that can happen to the labia after weight loss, GLP-1 medications, childbirth, hormonal shifts, perimenopause, and aging. From volume loss and laxity to discoloration, discomfort, chafing, and changes in confidence, Chris and Jerry explain why intimate-area concerns are not just cosmetic—they can affect how people feel in their bodies.

In this episode, they cover the difference between the labia majora and labia minora, why “deflation” can change the overall appearance of the area, and what treatment options may help. They discuss filler, PRP/PRF, regenerative treatments, Plexr, Neogen, topical pigment support, and internal treatments like the O-Shot for function-related concerns.

They also talk through safety, who may need to avoid or delay treatment, and why having a trusted provider makes these conversations easier.

Because confidence does not stop at the face.

Listen in, follow the show, and share this episode with someone who might appreciate a real, judgment-free conversation about aesthetics, aging, and intimate wellness.
