Labiaplasty – Labia Reduction

Are you concerned with:

• Do you find yourself feeling self conscious about the appearance of your vagina lips?
• Are you emotionally distressed about the appearance of your vagina lips?
• Do your vagina lips cause you any irritation during sexual intercourse or certain physical activities?
• Does the appearance of your vagina stop you from participating in certain activities?

Then you may be a good candidate for Labiaplasty.

Labiaplasty surgery incurs risks and complications like any invasive surgery. It is wise to choose a highly trained and experienced surgeon with extensive Labiaplasty experience to reduce your surgery risks.

Your Plastic Surgeon will discuss all potential complications during a consultation. Like general anaesthesia, bleeding (Haematoma), infection, wound healing, deep vein thrombosis, scarring and numbness. Always stay educated, be healthy, do not smoke before or after your procedure and understand your risks.

Surgery should never be taken lightly, and as with all other procedures, it is important that you consider the reasons for wanting Labia Reduction surgery and the possible complications and results of the procedure.

• Labiaplasty does not make the vagina smaller; vaginoplasty and some laser procedures can assist with this.
• Patients should not rely upon Labiaplasty for sexual enhancement – this relies upon a number of different factors, not solely the size, shape, appearance or length of the labia majora and labia minora.
• If your main concerns for Labiaplasty are purely based on appearance, it might be worth talking to your Doctor or a Counsellor first and foremost.
• What kind of results do you want from your surgery?

• Luckily the vaginal area heals very quickly, meaning recovery for a Labiaplasty procedure is relatively minimal.
• Patients will experience some pain and discomfort for around 10 days but should improve after this point.
• Strenuous activities should be avoided for around 4 weeks, and sexual intercourse for 6 weeks. Pain medication is recommended to reduce any discomfort.
• Risks involved with Labiaplasty surgery include loss of sensation, infection, asymmetry of the labia and permanent scarring.
• These risks are uncommon but can occur, so it’s important to be informed of these complications prior to surgery.
