Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is the surgery to reduce or reshape the labia minora, indicated for patients experiencing physical discomfort — friction, irritation or discomfort during everyday activities — or dissatisfaction with the anatomical proportion of the area.
The technique is chosen according to individual anatomy and the patient's concern, aiming to preserve sensitivity and function in the area.
It can be performed alone or combined with other intimate procedures, depending on individual assessment at the consultation.
- — Detailed assessment of anatomy and the patient's functional or aesthetic concern.
- — Technique chosen according to the degree of hypertrophy and the patient's preference.
- — Clear guidance on post-operative care and return to activities.
- — Post-operative follow-up with a direct concierge channel.
Common questions about Labiaplasty
Does the surgery affect sensitivity in the area?
The technique is planned to preserve sensitivity whenever possible — this is a point carefully assessed at the consultation.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies individually; specific guidance on rest and return to activities is given post-operatively.
Is it possible to resume sexual activity after surgery?
Resuming sexual activity follows an individual healing timeline, guided by the medical team during post-operative follow-up.
What type of anesthesia is typically used?
Usually local anesthesia combined with sedation, though this can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the pre-operative evaluation carried out with the anesthesiology team.
How long does the surgery take?
Generally between one and two hours, varying according to the technique chosen and whether it is combined with other procedures.
Is rest needed right after the surgery?
Yes, an initial period of relative rest is usually recommended; specific guidance on permitted activities is given individually during post-operative follow-up.
When can I return to work?
This tends to depend on the type of activity — jobs without physical strain or long periods of sitting are usually resumed sooner than more demanding roles; the timeline is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
When can I drive again?
Usually after a few days, once sitting is no longer uncomfortable and movement is unrestricted; this is confirmed during post-operative follow-up.
When can I resume physical exercise?
Low-impact activities are usually cleared before more intense exercise, particularly anything involving impact or friction in the area; a full return follows individualized guidance.
Is a dressing or compression garment needed after surgery?
In most cases, a local dressing is recommended for the first few days, along with specific hygiene care guided by the medical team.
How does the scar evolve over time?
Because the area has good blood supply, scarring tends to become discreet over time, though the final appearance varies from person to person.
Is there a risk of the stitches opening (wound dehiscence)?
It is a possible risk, since the area is subject to constant movement; measures such as relative rest and careful hygiene in the first days help reduce this possibility.
