A growing number of women seek labiaplasty for different reasons. Most of them want an aesthetic improvement because the appearance of the labia affects their self esteem and their erotic behaviour. Some have functional problems like discomfort during intercourse or certain activities, hygiene and odour issues, ability to wear certain clothing but mainly is the frustration because of being held back from spontaneous living!
The surgery is straight forward, is done in an outpatient base and has quick recovery. Usually involves the aesthetically designed reduction of labia minora, so they do not protrude past the labia majora. It can be combined with cosmetic improvement of the labia majora, depending of the problem. Fat can be injected so the labia majora look more “full” and youthful or can be also reduced if they are too long and “hanging”.
Most of the time we prefer to combine the procedure with small liposuction of the pubic area for a total rejuvenation of the female genitalia. If the patient desires also vaginal rejuvenation (vaginal tuck) we combine the procedure along with our gynaecology team.
