Labiaplasty
This is a surgical procedure to re-shape the labia minora. The labia minora are flaps of skin hat can be seen either side of the opening of the vagina. Many women choose to have labiaplasty because they do not like how the vagina looks with prominent labia. In other cases it is performed for functional reasons where the labia are uncomfortable in underwear of , for example, riding a bike or a horse. Other factors that affect the way the labia looks include aging, childbirth etc.
Our results speak for themselves

Labiaplasty : The procedure
This procedure is performed under general anaesthetic by our Gynaecologist or our Urologist. It take just one hour, and provided you have someone to take you home, you can go home on the same day
Be sure to follow the pre-operative instructions carefully before your admission.
During the procedure the Surgeon will trim away the excess labia on each side, creating a more attractive look to the vagina by creating better symmetry, and at the same time removing any possibility of discomfort experienced by the patient.
Some patients choose to have clitoral hood reduction at the same time as a labiaplasty for an overall genital rejuvenation.
Careful consideration is given to the shape in the incision process whilst hiding any scars in the process. Finally the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. These will fall out naturally in the following weeks.

Labiaplasty: After the procedure
You should arrange to take some time off after the procedure. Most patients take around one week of work. If your job is quite strenuous then you may need a little longer. You will have been discharged from hospital with pain relief medication and a course of antibiotics. It is important to complete the course of antibiotics even if you feel better. These will help minimise the risk of infection. Avoid sporting activities for one month and sexual activity for the four to six weeks.
At first the area will feel quite sore. You may notice some swelling of the labia with some bruising. Please ensure that you use sanitary towels rather than tampons and comfortable underwear.
You should make sure that you keep the area clean to help prevent infection.
