At A Life Health Group, we aim to provide the highest quality healthcare to patients of all ages. Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to alter the size and shape of the small lips (labia minora) of the female external genitalia. This procedure is usually performed for aesthetic reasons, but in some cases, it may also be chosen for medical reasons.

What Is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to alter the size and shape of the small lips (labia minora) of the female external genitalia. This procedure may be done if the labia are excessively large, asymmetrical, or cause discomfort. Labiaplasty is performed to reduce the size of the labia, achieve a symmetrical appearance, and improve aesthetic appearance.

Labiaplasty Surgery

Labiaplasty surgery is a surgical procedure performed to reduce, reshape, or create symmetry in the labia minora. In some cases, the labia majora may also be treated. This surgery is generally performed for cosmetic purposes, but in some cases, it may also be chosen for functional reasons.

Who Is Labiaplasty Suitable For?

Labiaplasty is generally performed for cosmetic reasons. The surgery may be recommended in the following situations:

Aesthetic Concerns: When the labia minora are excessively large or asymmetrical, causing dissatisfaction with appearance.
Discomfort: When the labia minora are too large, leading to friction with clothing or discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Psychological Effects: When the aesthetic appearance of the labia negatively impacts self-confidence or causes discomfort in social life.
Medical Reasons: In some cases, excessively large or asymmetrical labia may cause medical issues such as difficulty urinating, increased risk of infections, or pain during sexual intercourse.

Types of Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty can be performed using different methods:

Reduction Labiaplasty: Performed to reduce the size of the labia minora.
Shaping Labiaplasty: Performed to correct the shape of the labia minora.
Symmetry Labiaplasty: Performed to achieve a symmetrical appearance of the labia minora.

How Is Labiaplasty Performed?

Labiaplasty is generally performed under general or local anesthesia. The surgery is carried out through a small incision at the vaginal entrance. The surgeon applies the appropriate method to alter the shape and size of the labia minora. After the surgery, a dressing is applied to the vaginal entrance, and a few days of hospital stay may be required.

Labiaplasty Recovery Process

The recovery process after labiaplasty is generally quick. Mild pain and swelling in the vaginal area may occur after surgery. These complaints can be alleviated with cold compresses and the use of pain-relieving medications.

Postoperative Care Instructions

Use the medications prescribed by your doctor regularly.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
Attend follow-up appointments regularly as instructed by your doctor.

Post-Labiaplasty Complaints

Pain: Mild vaginal pain after surgery is normal. Pain can be managed with the analgesics prescribed by your doctor.
Swelling: Swelling in the vaginal area may occur after surgery.
Bleeding: Mild vaginal bleeding may occur postoperatively.
Infection: There is a risk of infection after surgery.
Changes in Vaginal Wall Thickness: The vaginal wall may become thicker or thinner after surgery.

Labiaplasty Risks

Like any surgical procedure, labiaplasty carries certain risks, including:

Infection: There is a risk of infection after surgery.
Bleeding: There is a risk of bleeding following the procedure.
Changes in Vaginal Wall Thickness: The vaginal wall may become thicker or thinner postoperatively.
Wound Healing Problems: Issues with wound healing may occur after surgery.
Anesthesia-Related Complications: Some complications may arise related to anesthesia.

Labiaplasty Before and After

I am happy to provide information about the preoperative and postoperative process of labiaplasty surgery.

Before Surgery:

Consultation: The first step is a consultation with a gynecologist or plastic surgeon. During this meeting, you should share your expectations, concerns, and medical history with your doctor. The doctor will examine your genital area and provide detailed information about the surgery.
Preparation: Prior to surgery, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions. You may need to stop smoking and alcohol consumption, discontinue certain medications, and fast for a specified period before the procedure.
Photographs: Preoperative and postoperative photos of the genital area may be taken for comparison.

After Surgery:

Recovery: The recovery process after labiaplasty is generally quick. Most patients are discharged the same day or the following day. Swelling, bruising, and pain in the surgical area may occur but usually subside within a few days.
Care: It is important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. Your doctor will provide specific care instructions.
Activity: It is recommended to rest for a few days after surgery and avoid heavy lifting. Sexual intercourse is generally advised to be postponed for 4–6 weeks.
Follow-ups: Regular follow-up appointments with your doctor are necessary to monitor your recovery.
