Genital surgery or labiaplasty is a procedure performed to improve the appearance of the labia minora, the flaps of skin that border the entrance to the vagina.
It is an appropriate aesthetic surgery for women who are dissatisfied with the appearance of this part of their bodies or experiencing discomfort of some kind.

What is the purpose of labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is an aesthetic surgery usually undertaken for the following reasons:
- To improve the shape of the labia
- To reduce oversized labia
- To make the labia the same size – sometimes there can be a disparity between the two sides
- To reconstruct labia that have been damaged by previous surgery or trauma
It is usually a cosmetic procedure, but, in some women, it is a functional necessity as their labia are so large that they cause discomfort when wearing tight clothing or engaging in certain sports.
The process of performing labiaplasty
Your surgeon will trim the labia to remove the skin that is causing discomfort or is regarded as unattractive. This procedure alone can make the vagina look more youthful and can have the bonus of enhancing your intimate relations.
Our surgeons can combine this procedure with liposuction or lipofilling of the mons pubis to remodel it into a more aesthetically pleasing shape.
Labiaplasty is a bespoke procedure, and you and your surgeon will decide the techniques used to achieve your desired result during two lengthy consultations.
Once all your questions have been answered and you are entirely confident about the surgery, we will schedule your operation.

Frequently asked questions
Our surgeons prefer the labiaplasty flap technique, which leaves little to no scarring and a natural appearance. Surgery can take place under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation, depending on the complexity of the surgery that you and your surgeon have chosen.
Patients can often return home on the same day but sometimes need to stay in hospital overnight to recover from the general anaesthetic.
There may be some discomfort after surgery, but this can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication.
