Inner labia surgery

Labiaplasty is still often seen as a taboo. However, many women are inconvenienced by their inner labia or labia minora that are comparatively too big. They experience discomfort when practising sports, wearing tight-fitting clothes, having intercourse or they find it aesthetically inconvenient. A labiaplasty can be the solution for both aesthetic and physical discomfort.

Inner labia surgery: the procedure

The female genital organ has two pairs of labia: the outer, hairy labia and the inner labia or labia minora, covered with mucosa. The inner labia can be corrected by means of a little complex procedure, the so-called labiaplasty.

You can take part in deciding the size of your new inner labia, provided that the biological function of the labia is preserved.
This procedure usually takes place under local anaesthesia. The plastic surgeon removes the excess tissue and stitches the cut with soluble thread. The scar will be supple thanks to the ‘zigzag’ suture technique, unlike the straight-lined scar that contracts during the healing process.

Labiaplasty takes about an hour and you can go home immediately after the procedure.
