Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a short procedure that reshapes the labia minora, performed mainly due to physical discomfort (chafing, pain while cycling or during intercourse) as well as aesthetic concerns. The procedure involves removing excess tissue and smoothing the edges so that the labia do not extend beyond the labia majora, are symmetrical, and do not cause irritation. Candidates for surgery are women in good general health for whom labial hypertrophy is a source of discomfort or reduced self-esteem.
What Causes Labial Hypertrophy?
Labial enlargement or asymmetry may be genetically determined, appear after childbirth, result from hormonal changes, or develop with age. Enlarged labia can make hygiene more difficult, increase the risk of infections, and negatively affect sexual satisfaction.
How Is Labiaplasty Performed?
The surgery is performed under local or short general anesthesia and lasts between 60 and 120 minutes.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising usually persist for a few days. Most patients can return to office work after 2–3 days, while full healing takes 4–6 weeks. During the first week, it is recommended to wear loose cotton clothing, avoid hot baths, and refrain from strenuous activity. Sexual activity, cycling, and swimming can be resumed after a follow-up visit — most often around six weeks post-procedure.
Preparation for the Procedure
- Three days before surgery, discontinue blood-thinning medications after consulting your doctor.\
- Shave the pubic area on the evening before the procedure.
