Labiaplasty
A procedure that reshapes the labia to address physical discomfort or personal aesthetic preferences.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty reshapes the labia minora or labia majora, most often reducing tissue that is causing physical discomfort during activities like exercise or wearing certain clothing, or addressing personal aesthetic preferences. Your surgeon carefully trims and reshapes the tissue to achieve a more comfortable or desired appearance while preserving normal sensation and function. This is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, taking about one to two hours.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Physical discomfort or irritation from enlarged labial tissue
- Discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or wearing certain clothing
- A desire for a change in labial appearance for personal comfort or preference
- Asymmetry between the labia causing physical or aesthetic concern
- Tissue changes following childbirth or with age
How does this procedure help?
Labiaplasty can resolve the physical discomfort that enlarged or irritated labial tissue causes during everyday activities, exercise, and clothing choices, often bringing meaningful relief and improved comfort. For those seeking the procedure for aesthetic reasons, most patients report improved confidence and comfort with their appearance. Recovery typically takes two to four weeks, with most swelling and discomfort resolving within the first couple of weeks.
