Description
Every labia is different and the appearance of the female genitalia is affected by genetics, mechanical factors, and childbirth. There is no labia length that medical professionals have deemed “normal”, but if one feels uncomfortable with the length of their labia, they can discuss the matter with a trained medical professional. Surgery is not the only solution to reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem about excess labia skin, but a labiaplasty can be beneficial to individuals who desire rejuvenation.

About the procedure

What is Labiaplasty? Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to alter the shape and size of the labia minora. Labia minora are the inner “lips” of the vulva, a woman’s external genitals. Labiaplasty is the removal of excess tissue from enlarged labia minora to make them symmetrical with the labia majora, which are the outer lips of the vulva. There are many reasons why a woman might consider getting a Labiaplasty: - Physical discomfort: Enlarged and protruding labia minora can cause irritation because of skin rubbing together with movement. Persistent irritation can make the skin raw, leading to hygiene issues and infections. - Difficulty wearing certain clothing: Unusually large labia minora can make it uncomfortable to wear certain types of clothing such as bathing suits, tight jeans, or workout clothes. They can also create a visible bulge, which may prevent some women from wearing such form-fitting clothes. - Difficulty with physical activities: Enlarged labia can get tender and prevent a woman from participating in certain activities. For instance, the labia can get sore rubbing against the seat while riding a bike, or protruding labia can make hiking and running difficult. - Sexual reasons: Protruding labia minora may impact a woman’s sexual life. It may interfere with sexual intercourse, cause pain or affect the ability to reach orgasm. It may also make a woman self-conscious and affect her ability to enjoy intimacy with her partner. - Psychological impact: Distress over the appearance of the vulva, inability to freely participate in all physical activities and wear any clothes that she wants to, can affect self-confidence and lower self-esteem in a woman. It can have an emotional impact and affect intimate relationships.

Before, during & after

Before surgery: Pharmaceuticals containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acylpirin, Aspirin, and Anopyrin etc.) should not be used for 3 weeks before the Labiaplasty – Labia Reduction surgery, as they decrease clotting time of blood. In case you are a smoker you are advised to stop smoking or at least to cut down on cigarettes. Smoking slows down Labiaplasty – Labia Reduction recovery process and it can also increase a risk or complications.
Operation: During the Labiaplasty – Labia Reduction surgery the plastic surgeon cuts away the unwanted labia tissue to achieve the desired shape. Sometimes the plastic surgeon removes a wedge-shaped section of the labia. By this the front intact is left and only the tissue from behind is removed. Due to this, there is no change in the colour of the labia, so the surgery is less noticeable.
Recovery: The areas where the Labiaplasty surgery was performed will be painful and swollen, that’s why it is likely that you will be unable to have sex for 6 weeks. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) How will I feel after the Labiaplasty surgery? - You will probably feel tired, sleepy and suffer from pain especially in 1–3 days after the Labiaplasty – Labia Reduction surgery. The plastic surgeon might also prescribe you antibiotics as a prevention of any potential infection and also tablets for reducing the swelling.
