Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the size or changes the shape of the labia minora – folds of skin that are located on the inside of the labia majora and border the opening of the vagina.

Patients usually opt for this procedure to reduce the physical discomfort that can occur with the irregular shape of the labia minora.

In addition to changing the appearance of the labia, labiaplasty also allows the removal of functional disorders caused by the irregular shape of the labia.

Disturbances that can occur as a result of discomfort when engaging in sports activities, during sexual intercourse, as well as frequent irritation and inflammation, which greatly reduces the quality of life.

Therefore, labiaplasty is not only a cosmetic intervention, but often has a positive impact on the emotional state and self-confidence of women.

Clinical studies confirm the success of this procedure, as well as the great satisfaction of patients after labiaplasty. As many as 95% were satisfied with the results of labiaplasty, and all patients would recommend the procedure to others.

Labiaplasty is most often performed with local anesthesia, as a minor procedure after which it is possible to go to home care on the same day.

Patients decide to have labiaplasty for various reasons. Some patients suffer from the unattractive appearance of the labia minora, and in some cases medical difficulties occur.

The goal of labiaplasty in most cases is to shrink the labia minora so that they do not cross the border of the outer labia, causing discomfort.

The procedure is also performed to reduce the asymmetry of the labia minora when one is longer than the other.

There are two pairs of labia that protect a woman’s intimate area. The outer labia or labia majora and the labia minora minora that surround or protect the opening of the vagina and the clitoris.

Changes in the appearance of the labia can occur due to various factors such as hormonal changes in puberty, changes in appearance after pregnancy and childbirth, hypertrophy (enlargement) of the labia caused by aging and genetic predisposition.

The irregular appearance of the labia minora caused by these conditions can lead to discomfort when wearing clothes (such as a swimsuit), engaging in sports activities and during sexual intercourse.

The irregular shape of the labia minora can also cause dissatisfaction, loss of self-confidence and reduced quality of intimate life.

The goals of labiaplasty vary, motivation often includes improving the appearance of the external genitalia while increasing self-confidence.

This procedure allows you to adjust the size and shape of the labia minora to achieve the desired look, thus satisfying the individual wishes and needs of patients.

Labiaplasty can significantly improve women’s self-confidence, allowing them to feel better in their own skin.

It also helps to reduce discomfort or pain that can occur during intimate activities due to enlarged labia minora.

Labiaplasty can also help restore the appearance of the intimate area after childbirth, which is a common reason why patients decide to have this procedure.

Before the labiaplasty procedure, it is necessary to perform a consultation examination with a plastic surgeon. The procedure is performed in women After the age of 18 When the process of development of the labia minora is completed.

During the consultation, you will receive all the necessary information about the procedure, the surgeon will instruct you on how to prepare, what the procedure looks like and recovery after the procedure.

Before the labiaplasty, you will discuss in detail with your plastic surgeon the motivation for the procedure, your current health condition and define the goals of the procedure. Accordingly, the surgeon will work with you to come up with a procedure plan.

If you have questions related to labiaplasty, this is the right time to ask your surgeon. It is important to inform yourself about the possibilities and results of the procedure in order to have realistic expectations.

Before the procedure, the use of painkillers from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid, such as Aspirin, Andol or Acisal, should be discontinued.

In this way, unwanted bleeding and hematomas (bruises) during and after surgery are prevented, which significantly improves and accelerates recovery and improves the result of surgery.

Labiaplasty is one of the minor surgical procedures. It is most often performed under local anesthesia, and depending on the scope of the procedure and the patient’s wishes, general anesthesia is also possible.

The procedure lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, involves reshaping one or both sides of the labia minora with the removal of excess skin according to the procedure plan.

To perform labiaplasty, our plastic surgeons use modern surgical techniques that make it possible to achieve symmetry and a natural appearance.

There are several techniques of labiaplasty, the most famous of which are the “trim” and “wedge” procedure. The technique of the procedure is selected individually in consultation with the surgeon in order to achieve the best aesthetic and functional result for the patient.

The “trim” technique removes excess tissue of the labia minora, which achieves symmetry and appropriate size in relation to the labia majora. The edges are sewn up with thin, decomposable thread.

The “wedge” technique removes excess tissue of the labia minora in the form of a wedge, also for the purpose of achieving symmetry and appropriate size. This technique results in a more natural appearance of the labia minora after the procedure.

After surgery, the procedure site is sutured with extremely fine sutures that are reabsorbed so that removal is not required.

Upon completion of the operation, our staff will escort you to the recovery room. If you feel well, you will be released for home care on the same day.

Given that in most cases it is a minor surgical procedure, labiaplasty is most often performed in one day and discharge for home care is a few hours after the procedure.

After labia shaping surgery, the area will be numb due to anesthesia. When the effect of anesthesia wears off, it is possible to experience mild discomfort, swelling and redness, which usually passes quickly.

To reduce pain and discomfort after labiaplasty, the surgeon may prescribe analgesics. In order to heal as quickly as possible, it is necessary to follow the instructions of the medical staff in detail.

For the first two days after labiaplasty , it is necessary to rest. We recommend applying cold compresses according to the instructions you will receive from the surgeon to help reduce swelling and pain.

After two to three days, a gradual return to daily activities is possible. It is advisable to include light physical activity such as walking.

Most women can return to daily activities in just a few days, but the overall recovery takes about 6 weeks. Initially, swelling, soreness and a bluish color of the skin (hematoma) are present, which decrease in the first few weeks.

It is important to maintain the hygiene of the area, avoid tight underwear, clothing, intense physical activity and sexual intercourse. The final aesthetic result is visible after 4 months.

Patients who experienced discomfort due to the labia minora pulling or retraction generally feel relief after surgery. According to numerous studies, labiaplasty surgery is associated with a high satisfaction rate of almost 99%.

The end result of labiaplasty is individual and depends on the specific goals of the patient, the anatomy of the genitals, and the techniques and experience of the surgeon.

Communicating with your plastic surgeon during your consultation is essential to achieve results that suit your individual needs and desires.

Achieving optimal results also depends on your active participation before and after the procedure. Proper care during recovery, following the surgeon’s instructions and regular check-ups contribute to achieving the desired results.

The main goal of labiaplasty is to adjust the size and shape of the labia minora according to the patient’s wishes, given the possibilities of the procedure.

Patients who have decided to undergo the procedure report an increase in self-confidence and satisfaction with their own body after labiaplasty. Labiaplasty also contributes to improving comfort and reducing any pain or irritation.

The results of labiaplasty are usually permanent, but it is important to note that individual factors, such as aging and changes in the body, can affect the longevity of the results.

Recovery after labiaplasty is relatively fast, and visible results become more apparent during the first few weeks to months after the procedure.

Despite being a routine cosmetic procedure, it is important to be aware of the potential risks of minor lip correction and take certain measures to reduce their likelihood.

It is crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions carefully during the preparatory stages, procedures, and recovery from labiaplasty. This includes taking prescribed medications correctly, caring for wounds, and limiting intense physical activity.
