Labiaplasty at Sanus sanatorium - First Private Surgery Center

Cosmetic surgery offers you a wide range of choices for different types of procedures that can be performed on parts of a person’s body that require some aesthetic enhancements. Today even a woman’s genital area may also go through a cosmetic enhancement procedure.

Also referred to as the Designer vagina, Labia minora reduction, Labial reduction, and Vulval Surgery, Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that trims the length of a woman’s labia minora. It is the most common vaginal rejuvenation procedure performed on women.

Surgery typically results in a shorter labia that no longer hangs down below the level of the hair-bearing labia majora. Having noticeable skin folds around the opening of the vagina is completely normal. However, excess skin can get pinched or twisted, making some women feel uncomfortable during physical activities, exercise, and intercourse. In this case, labiaplasty can be a treatment option. Moreover, the procedure can also be done for cosmetic reasons for those who don't like the appearance of their labia. It might also be done as part of gender-affirming surgery.

Most patients take a week off from work to recover from any side effects, during which they can reduce swelling and pain by icing. While the most distorting swelling is gone by 6 weeks, residual swelling may take six months to disappear.
