Labiaplasty

What is labiaplasty?

It refines the labia minora when size, shape or asymmetry causes discomfort or aesthetic concern.

The aim is natural balance with the labia majora, not complete removal.

Why do labia enlarge or become asymmetric?

• Genetic predisposition
• Hormonal changes during puberty
• Childbirth
• Aging
• Friction or trauma

These changes can cause both aesthetic and physical discomfort.

When is labiaplasty appropriate?

• Labia minora protrude beyond the labia majora
• Noticeable asymmetry
• Discomfort during sports or tight clothing
• Hygiene difficulties
• Negative impact on confidence or body image

It restores both comfort and aesthetic balance.

Who is a candidate?

• Those troubled by the appearance or symptoms of their labia
• Patients seeking natural harmony in the genital zone
• Individuals medically fit for outpatient surgery

Suitability is determined by anatomy, expectations and lifestyle.

How is it performed?

Under local anesthesia in 30–60 minutes:

• Assess labial structure and symmetry
• Choose the most appropriate technique
• Remove excess tissue gently
• Retain natural folds while reshaping
• Close with dissolvable aesthetic sutures

Techniques

• Trim: Trim excess tissue from the edge for a smoother margin.
• Wedge: Preserve natural edge tissue for more anatomical results.

Technique selection is individualized.

Recovery

• First days: mild swelling and sensitivity
• Week 1: controlled return to daily life
• Weeks 2–3: most swelling subsides
• 4–6 weeks: full healing

Following care and hygiene instructions is important.

Will there be scars?

Incisions sit within the natural folds and fade over time.

Is it painful?

Most patients describe sensitivity or tightness rather than sharp pain.

Do results look natural?

Yes—technique preserves natural anatomy and balance with the outer labia.

Is it permanent?

Labiaplasty offers long-lasting results; outcomes hold as aging continues.

Pricing

• Chosen technique
• Scope of the operation
• Combined procedures (e.g., vaginoplasty)
