Labiaplasty Surgery UK (Harley Street & Seymour Street)
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora (inner lips) and/or labia majora (outer lips) of the vulva to improve comfort, symmetry, and appearance.
The procedure is commonly performed for both functional and aesthetic reasons, including discomfort during exercise, irritation from clothing, or concerns about appearance.
At Moorgate Andrology, labiaplasty is performed by experienced specialist surgeons in urology and gynaecology at Harley Street, London and selected UK hospitals.
What is Labiaplasty ?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the size or shape of the labia minora or labia majora.
The goal of the surgery is to:
- Reduce excess tissue
- Improve symmetry
- Improve comfort during daily activities
- Address functional or aesthetic concerns
In some cases, enlarged or asymmetrical labia may cause irritation during exercise, discomfort in tight clothing, or concerns about appearance.
Who is suitable for labiaplasty surgery ?
Suitable candidates may include patients who:
- Experience discomfort or irritation
- Have enlarged or asymmetrical labia
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations
- Understand surgical risks and recovery
A full medical assessment is required before treatment.
Types of labiaplasty techniques
There are several surgical techniques used depending on anatomy and goals:
Trim Technique
Excess tissue is removed along the edge of the labia to reduce size and improve contour.
Wedge Technique
A V-shaped section of tissue is removed and the edges are sutured to preserve a more natural border.
Combination Techniques
In some cases, a combination of techniques is used to achieve optimal symmetry and natural appearance.
The most suitable approach is determined during consultation.
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.
Recovery from Labiaplasty
Recovery varies between patients but typically includes:
- Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Mild discomfort during early healing
- Return to light activities within a few days
- Return to work within 1–2 weeks (depending on job type)
Patients are advised to avoid:
- Sexual intercourse for around 4–6 weeks
- Strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
- Swimming until fully healed
- Tight clothing during early recovery
Full healing may take several weeks.
Results and Outcomes
The aim of labiaplasty is to create a more comfortable, balanced, and natural appearance while maintaining sensitivity and function.
Results include:
- Reduced tissue prominence
- Improved symmetry
- Enhanced comfort in clothing and activity
- Improved aesthetic appearance
Final results become more visible as swelling settles over several weeks.

Labiaplasty vs non-surgical opions
Labiaplasty is a permanent surgical solution, whereas non-surgical treatments focus on volume restoration rather than tissue removal.
Labiaplasty
- Removes excess tissue
- Permanent structural change
- Surgical procedure
- Longer recovery
Non-surgical alternatives (e.g. fillers)
- Adds volume rather than removing tissue
- Temporary and adjustable
- Minimal downtime
- Suitable only in selected cases
Labiaplasty : Risks and complications
Most patients who have labiaplasty do so without any complications. Of course all surgical procedures carry some element of risk, , and you should be aware of them. Labiaplasty risks include
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Bruising and swelling
- Temporary numbness
- Asymmetry
- Risks associated with general anaesthesia
The Doctor will explain the risks to you at your consultation

Step One
Everything starts with a simple phone call or website form enquiry. Our patient co-ordinators are on hand to give you all the information you need and then arrange a free zoom video consultation for you with Dr Nenad Djakovic, Urologist. He is a Doctor with specialist training in genital procedures. This initial inquiry stage enables you to find out the facts such as likely costs, what the surgery fees include, available dates for surgery, what aftercare is included etc.

Step Two
This is your consultation with the Specialist. This is where you find out exactly what can be achieved for you with this procedure. Here you will discuss the results you want to achieve and get all the facts directly from the Specialist who will perform the procedure for you. At this stage you may also book your surgery, or confirm a pre booked date. Any pre operative checks that need to be done, or any pre op tests needed, will be arranged for you.

Step Three
This will be the day of your procedure. You will go to the hospital at the admission time and meet your Specialist once again , together with his medical team. The Anaesthetist will come to see you before the procedure and discuss the anaesthetic with you. Then the nursing will take care of your right through the day to ensure a pleasant and smooth experience.

Step Four
This is the period of your aftercare. Your Specialist will see you for follow up in the hospital and on video to ensure a smooth recovery.
