Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce or reshape the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips). It aims to improve comfort, address asymmetry, and enhance the intimate area’s appearance while maintaining natural function and sensitivity. The goal is to create a harmonious, comfortable, and confident result tailored to each individual’s anatomy.
Labiaplasty is recommended for individuals who experience discomfort due to enlarged or elongated labia—whether during exercise, daily activities, or sexual intercourse—or for those who feel self-conscious about the appearance of the intimate area. It is suitable for patients seeking functional relief, aesthetic refinement, or both.
There is no specific ideal age for labiaplasty. The key considerations are overall health, physical maturity, and the presence of symptoms or aesthetic concerns. Most patients choose to undergo this procedure in adulthood, often in their 20s or later.
During the procedure, excess labial tissue is carefully removed or reshaped using refined surgical techniques that preserve natural sensitivity and function. The incisions are small and positioned to blend with natural folds, resulting in scars that are typically very discreet once healed.
Labiaplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s comfort and the surgical plan.
The procedure takes, on average, between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed.
Most labiaplasty procedures are performed as outpatient surgeries, allowing you to return home on the same day.
The procedure is carried out in accredited hospitals in Greater London with strict standards of sterilization, safety, and professional surgical care.
Most patients can resume light daily activities within a few days. Swelling and mild discomfort are common initially and usually improve significantly within the first 1 to 2 weeks. Full healing and return to exercise or sexual activity typically occur within 4 to 6 weeks.
Post-operative care includes keeping the area clean, wearing loose clothing, avoiding strenuous activities, and using cold compresses as recommended. It is also essential to avoid sexual intercourse until fully healed. Following all instructions and attending follow-up appointments ensures a smooth and safe recovery.
The first step is to schedule a consultation. During this appointment, I will assess your anatomy, symptoms, and goals to determine whether labiaplasty is appropriate for you. I will explain the expected results and provide all necessary information about the procedure.
According to UK Medical Council guidelines, healthy patients without significant medical conditions may not require extensive pre-operative tests. Additional exams may be advised depending on individual health factors.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the type of anesthesia used. Fees typically include hospital costs, anesthetist’s fees, surgeon’s fees, and nursing care.
On average, prices range from £3,000 to £5,000. During your consultation, you will receive a personalised quote based on your specific needs.
