Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a surgery that corrects the inner and outer labia. This surgery gives the labia a more symmetrical, shapely, and youthful appearance and can resolve associated physical problems such as discomfort during sports or sexual intercourse.

One of the most common surgery procedures is reducing the inner labia to smaller than the outer labia.

Labiaplasty may be relevant when:

  • The aesthetic appearance of the labia is unsatisfactory: the size of the labia, the length of the inner or outer labia, skin discolouration.
  • Discomfort during sexual intercourse: pain, irritation, etc.
  • Discomfort when exercising.

The process of labiaplasty

Labiaplasty surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes about one hour. A longitudinal incision is made during the surgery. Excess tissue is removed from the inner labia, correcting the labia.

Labiaplasty leaves minimal scarring.

Before surgery

During the consultation, the expectations of the surgery are discussed, and depilation is required before the surgery.

Post-surgery period

Patients can usually go home the same day after surgery, and it is recommended to return to work a few days or a week later. Swelling and pain may be felt immediately after labiaplasty, but these symptoms will subside in the first few weeks. Special underwear should be worn for a few weeks during the labiaplasty recovery process. It is recommended that you avoid the sauna or swimming pool for at least one month, not use tampons, and not exercise. Prolonged sitting should be avoided, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for 6-8 weeks.

Surgical risk

The risk of complications is extremely low, but bleeding, infection, asymmetry, wound breakdown and prolonged wound healing can occur. These complications are usually avoided by following the surgeon’s recommendations after surgery.

Results

The first results are visible after swelling, and the final result is visible after 3 months.
