Many women experience discomfort or self-consciousness due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia minora.
Labiaplasty also known as labia reduction or labial reshaping surgery is a procedure to reduce or reshape the inner labia (labia minora).
It can relieve physical discomfort such as friction, irritation, or pain during sexual activity or serve cosmetic goals to enhance balance and confidence.
Who is a good candidate for labiaplasty?
- Chronic irritation or pain from tight clothing or movement
- Protruding labia causing friction against underwear or pants
- Pain or burning during sex (dyspareunia)
- Labial asymmetry causing self-esteem concerns
- Recurrent inflammation due to hygiene difficulty
- As part of a vaginal rejuvenation procedure
Who should avoid labiaplasty?
- Patients under 18 (tissue may continue to develop)
- Unrealistic expectations (e.g., expecting increased sexual sensitivity)
- Body dysmorphic disorder (should undergo psychological assessment first)
- Active genital infections or open wounds
- Bleeding disorders or use of anticoagulant medication
Possible risks & side effects of labiaplasty
- Poor wound healing or wound reopening
- Bruising or hematoma formation
- Superficial infection at incision site
- Visible scarring or uneven edges
- Altered sensation (numbness, chronic pain, reduced sensitivity)
- Over- or under-resection of tissue requiring revision
- Residual asymmetry post-surgery

Pre-surgery preparation of labiaplasty
- Consult a specialist and discuss realistic expectations
- Undergo general physical exam and lab tests (CBC, urinalysis, HIV/syphilis if indicated)
- Pause hormonal or anticoagulant medications as advised
- Avoid NSAIDs or aspirin 1-2 weeks before surgery
- Stop smoking 1-2 weeks before surgery to promote healing
- If general anesthesia is used, follow fasting instructions (68 hours before surgery)
- Prepare loose clothing and post-op care support
- Treat any genital infections before surgery
Labiaplasty techniques
Procedure type depends on tissue shape and patient goals:
- Trim technique: removal of the labial edge to reduce protrusion
- Wedge resection: internal triangular excision to maintain natural folds
- Composite reduction: combines labia reduction with clitoral hood trimming
- Laser-assisted labiaplasty: uses laser to minimize bleeding and healing time
Most surgeries take 1-2 hours and are performed as same-day outpatient procedures.
Post-surgery care & recovery of Labiaplasty
- Use panty liners for 1-2 weeks until discharge subsides
- Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and pain
- Apply prescribed antibiotic ointment
- Avoid strenuous activity, cycling, and heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks
- No sexual intercourse for at least 4-6 weeks
- Wear loose underwear and breathable clothing
- Clean gently with warm water, avoid harsh soaps
- Eat fiber-rich foods to prevent constipation
- Follow up as scheduled for wound check
Swelling and bruising usually subside within 1-2 weeks. Final results appear in 3-6 months.
Doctors advice
Labiaplasty can bring excellent results for those with clear medical or cosmetic indications, but it's not for everyone. A personalized consultation, proper diagnosis, and the right technique are key. Always allow time for full healing and seek medical review for any concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does labiaplasty hurt?
A: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients feel only mild pressure or tightness. The surgery takes about one hour, and you can return home right after.
Q: How long is the recovery after labiaplasty?
A: We recommend resting for the first 2 days. Avoid exercise and sexual activity for about 46 weeks. The incision gradually smooths out and heals beautifully.
Q: How long does the labiaplasty last?
A: The results are permanent. Once healed, its very unlikely for the tissue to become enlarged or sag again unless affected by trauma or hormonal change.
Q: Who performs the labiaplasty procedure?
A: Every case at Clitoria Clinic is performed by a board-certified gynecologist from consultation and surgical design to post-operative care ensuring both safety and aesthetic precision.
