Labiaplasty – Cosmetic and Functional Restoration
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic and functional procedure involving the correction of the external genitalia. It is designed for women experiencing aesthetic dissatisfaction or functional discomfort due to hypertrophy, asymmetry, or laxity.
The procedure can improve both appearance and daily comfort, reducing irritation, as well as discomfort during exercise or sexual intercourse.
How Labiaplasty is Performed
The surgery is performed using specialized techniques primarily aimed at reducing and reshaping the labia minora, while preserving the natural appearance and functionality of the area.
The incisions are small and designed to ensure a natural and symmetrical result. Absorbable sutures are used, which do not require removal.
In some cases, in addition to correcting the labia minora, the appearance of the labia majora (outer lips) is also improved using autologous fat transfer when there is laxity or volume loss in the area. This achieves a more comprehensive and harmonious aesthetic outcome.
The procedure lasts approximately 1 hour, and the patient returns home on the same day.
Consultation Session
During your first visit, your needs and expectations will be discussed with utmost discretion. The doctor will evaluate the anatomy of the area and recommend the appropriate technique. Detailed instructions regarding the procedure, recovery, and expected results will also be provided.
Anesthesia & Duration of Hospitalization
Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation (twilight anesthesia). Hospitalization is not required, and the patient returns home on the same day.
Related Risks
The procedure is safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Complications are rare and may include mild swelling, bleeding, or infection. Proper adherence to postoperative instructions contributes to a smooth recovery.
