Posted on [post_date] [post_comments] [post_edit]

, also known as , is a gynaecology procedure designed to alter the size and shape of the labia minora, which are the inner lips surrounding the vaginal opening. Labia minora reduction most commonly involves reducing the size of both labia or improving labia symmetry by surgically reducing the size of the larger labia. There are two types of labia in women: the inner labia minora and the outer labia majora. The labia majora are larger than the labia minora and often have hair follicles on the outer surface. The labia minora are smaller and lie medial to the labia majora. There are no hair follicles present on the labia minora.

In most women, the labia minora project slightly further outwards compared with the labia majora. However, some women may have a significant degree of labia minora enlargement, so they protrude significantly beyond the outer labia majora. Having can cause considerable discomfort for many women during normal activities of daily living. Many women may also be concerned about the cosmetic appearance of the large labia. For women who are worried about the appearance or feel of their labia, this can be effectively corrected with a labiaplasty procedure or labia reduction.

Plastic surgeons and gynaecologists carry out labiaplasty surgery, and many women are keen to know how to choose the best labiaplasty surgeon. Many types of cosmetic gynaecology procedures, including labiaplasty and vaginoplasty, have increased in popularity as women become more aware of the available to improve their appearance and pain symptoms in their intimate regions. Centre for Surgery in London is home to some of the most renowned labiaplasty surgeons in London.

Many women live with enlarged labia for many years without knowing that the size of the labia can be effectively corrected with a labiaplasty procedure that can be easily carried out under a local anaesthetic as an outpatient at our state-of-the-art day-case facility in London. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour to . The surgery involves removing a small amount of labia to the specific concerns of the individual patient. This could be due to enlarged labia on both sides or uneven labia. The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches. Most have very little pain or discomfort following the labia reduction surgery and can restart exercise and sexual activities after approximately four weeks. Labiaplasty results can be considered significant and permanent, with the potential to improve a woman’s self-confidence significantly.

Labiaplasty procedures are considered cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery procedures are designed to improve the appearance of a body region without altering its function. Many people confuse cosmetic surgery with surgery. Unlike cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery aims to improve the function of a body area. Labiaplasty surgery can help to enhance a woman’s self-confidence and emotional well-being, and this can help women to feel much more comfortable in themselves.

Labiaplasty surgery may also be carried out as part of a reconstructive surgery procedure. This most commonly occurs when the labia minora are significantly enlarged, protruding well beyond the level of the labia majora, which can result in significant pain and for many women. Women may have pain when sitting on a stool or riding a bike. Very large labia can also interfere with sexual intercourse and reduce enjoyment and, in some cases, may lead to avoidance of intercourse altogether. In instances of severe labia minora enlargement, women may even be unable to run or walk comfortably.

Although surgeons and gynaecologists perform labiaplasty surgery, plastic surgeons are not trained to carry out vaginal surgery, unlike gynaecologists. Plastic surgeons are trained to perform and reconstructive surgery on the labia. A cosmetic gynaecologist has the skills, training and experience to perform labiaplasty and . gynaecologists are trained to assess women when assessing their suitability for labiaplasty surgery. In all cases, you must choose a labiaplasty surgeon who has years of experience in carrying out all types of labiaplasty surgery and vaginoplasty surgery.

Many women feel more comfortable seeing a female doctor for labiaplasty. We have female gynaecologists and an nursing team to help ensure patients are as satisfied as possible throughout their experience at .
