Labia Reduction
Labiaplasty or Labia Reduction is surgery to the correct and defines the appearance of the inner labia of the vagina also known as the labia minora. It is very common for women to have concerns regarding the size and shape of their labia.
Labiaplasty helps women get over any embarrassment they feel when they have sex. Some women don’t have sex rather than face the embarrassment.
Labiaplasty Cost UK
The Labiaplasty is a relatively simple procedure performed under a general anaesthetic and takes about one. The procedure involves a cosmetic surgeon reducing and reshaping the labia minora to give a more beautiful look.
The labia are not completely removed as they are necessary to protect the internal area of the vagina. The enlarged labia are taken back to normal size, and the cosmetic appearance is much better. You may experience swelling after the operation, but this usually subsides after one week. The incisions made during the operation are hardly noticeable.
We understand that this is a very sensitive issue. You will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and care. You are not alone as many women experience the same problem and feel much better after coming to discuss the procedure with a cosmetic surgeon to understand how we may help you.
Who May Need Labiaplasty Surgery?
The size and shape of the labia can vary, but problems can arise when the labia minora is enlarged. You may have low confidence or are just embarrassed by the appearance of your vagina. Wearing a bikini might also be difficult.
Returning to Work
Our advice to you is to take a full week off work following surgery. After labiaplasty, you will have a dressing put on. You will then have a post-op review with a nurse at your local clinic seven days after your procedure.
When Can I Resume Sex?
You should expect to stop having intercourse for three weeks after surgery to allow yourself to heal.
Scarring
Scarring will be hardly noticeable following labiaplasty and will be hidden within the natural folds.
