Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape or size of the labia minora and/or labia majora. It can be performed for both medical and aesthetic reasons, helping women relieve physical discomfort or feel more confident.
Why Do Women Choose Labiaplasty?
Physical Discomfort
Enlarged or asymmetrical labia can cause discomfort, pain, or irritation during physical activities, when wearing tight clothing, or during sexual intercourse.
Aesthetic Concerns
Some women may feel self-conscious about the appearance of their genital area and wish to improve symmetry or overall look.
Postpartum Changes
After childbirth, the labia may change in appearance or shape, which can lead to discomfort or dissatisfaction with one’s body.
Congenital Features
Some women are born with naturally large or asymmetrical labia, which can interfere with daily comfort and confidence.
Each procedure is tailored to the individual, taking into account her unique anatomy, comfort, goals, and recovery process.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient’s comfort and promoting a faster recovery. The technique is gentle and focused on preserving tissue integrity, sensitivity, and symmetry.
What to Expect from Labiaplasty
- The procedure takes about one hour
- Recovery lasts 5 to 7 days
- It is recommended to avoid intense physical activity and sexual intercourse for about one month
Following this surgery, many women report not only improved physical comfort but also a boost in self-confidence.
