What is a Labiaplasty or Labioplasty?

Firstly, other names for Labia Reduction Surgery are Labiaplasty or Labioplasty. They refer to a cosmetic genital procedure that focuses on changing the appearance of the labia minora.

Women requesting this procedure usually have a ‘longer’ labia which may protrude beyond the outer labia of the vagina. This can not only be a source of embarrassment for some women but can be extremely uncomfortable (i.e when the labia rubs against underwear).

This surgery can also help tone, reshape, reconstruct or tighten the various muscles and surrounding skin of the vagina.

What are the Benefits of Labiaplasty?

There are many reasons why women might opt for Labia Reduction Surgery and this will always vary among patients. Women can often be self-conscious about the appearance of their genitals, particularly as they get older and the labia stretches and/or becomes saggy.

If this condition is concerning to you, speak to one of our caring surgeons about your suitability for Labia Reduction Surgery or for MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser rejuvenation.

What should I know about having a Labiaplasty?

A Labia Reduction should always be performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon at either an accredited out patient surgery centre or a Hospital.

There are two main surgical techniques when it comes to Labiaplasty surgery, the trim method and the wedge method.

Trim Method

The Trim method is sometimes referred to as the strip method.
This is the most common method for reducing the length of the labia.
The surgeon will remove excess labial skin along the length (edge) of the labia minora.
This method is less likely to cause complications and a good choice for patients looking to remove any darker, longer edges of the labia.

Wedge Method

The Wedge Method removes a wedge-shaped portion of the unwanted labium which reduces the bulk of the labia minora.
Removing the wedge of labial tissue does not affect any functioning areas of the vagina
This method can also help to reduce any excess tissue in those areas as well.

You can undergo Labiaplasty surgery either under local anaesthetic with sedation, or general anaesthetic. Furthermore, your surgeon will use dissolvable stitches. Although this can result in discomfort for a few days as the stitches dissolve it means you dont need to have your surgeon remove them.

Dr Rebecca Wyten may be available to discuss this procedure with patients who are suitable candidates for this surgery and in good general health.

Recovery from Labiaplasty

Luckily the vaginal area heals very quickly, meaning recovery for a Labiaplasty procedure is relatively minimal.
However, patients will experience some pain and discomfort for around 10 days but should improve after this point.
Patients should avoid strenuous activities for around 4 weeks, and sexual intercourse for 6 weeks.
Your surgeon will recommend pain medication to reduce any discomfort.
There are risks when it comes to Labiaplasty surgery including loss of sensation, infection, asymmetry of the labia and also permanent scarring.
These risks are uncommon but can occur, therefore it’s important patients have all the information about these complications prior to surgery.
