Studies have shown that 1/3 of women do not like the appearance of their labia, because it is either dark, over-sized or has excessive hanging skin. But fortunately you can re-shape the appearance of the vagina with labiaplasty surgery. Labiaplasty addresses the labia minora, or the lips surrounding the vagina. It can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or with other vaginal surgery.Ageing and childbirth are two examples of milestones in life that can cause your labia to stretch. Some women, however, inherit an elongated labia. But it is within your control to alter the appearance of your labia with this procedure.

You are a good candidate for labiaplasty if:

  • You are not happy with the size of your labia

  • Your large labia is causing pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse
  • You want to restore your labia’s desirable appearance
  • Your labia is preventing you to wear certain clothes or perform certain physical activities

A labia surgery begins with the administration of anaesthesia. The exact surgical technique to be used will largely depends on your goals and treatment plan. These things will be discussed to you during consultations.

After the surgery you will experience bruising and swelling which will gradually subside in 2 to 3 weeks. Your surgeon will prescribe you some pain relief medications to ease discomfort during the recovery period.
