Whether the concern is the size or shape of the labia, looseness after childbirth, a damaged perineum or bladder leaks, there is a specific treatment for it, from labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction to vaginoplasty and perineoplasty.
Labiaplasty trims and reshapes the inner or outer labia so they no longer twist, catch or show through clothing. Choose it if the size or shape of your labia is the concern.
Clitoral hood reduction removes extra folds of skin above the clitoris while leaving the clitoris itself untouched. Choose it if the hood looks bulky, or would stand out after labiaplasty.
Labiaplasty revision corrects labia left uneven, scarred, or with too much or too little removed by an earlier operation. Choose it if you are unhappy once healed, knowing heavy tissue loss cannot always be rebuilt.
Labia fat transfer refills thin, deflated outer labia with fat moved from your tummy or thighs, much of which settles in long term. Choose it if you want a longer-lasting result than filler.
Labia puffing plumps the outer labia with either filler or your own fat, restoring a fuller, smoother look. Choose it to compare a quick filler treatment with longer-lasting fat before deciding.
Vaginoplasty tightens a vagina that feels loose after childbirth, rebuilding the muscle beneath its back wall. Choose it for a lasting change where pelvic floor exercises or laser have not been enough.
Perineoplasty rebuilds the strip of tissue below the vaginal opening, removing tight or uneven scarring and restoring support. Choose it if a birth injury left the opening gaping, painful during sex or scarred.
Vaginal rejuvenation brings together surgery and laser options for intimate changes after childbirth or with menopause. Start here if you are unsure whether your concern needs surgery or laser treatment.
Vaginal laser treatment covers four Fotona SMOOTH treatments done without incisions, each aimed at a different problem. Start here to match laxity, leaks, mild prolapse or dryness to the right one.
IntimaLase aims to tighten a vagina that feels loose using gentle laser heat, with no incisions. Choose it for mild laxity, or if you want to try a non-surgical option before vaginoplasty.
IncontiLase aims to reduce small bladder leaks when you laugh, cough or exercise, using laser to strengthen the support under the bladder. Choose it for mild to moderate leaks triggered by effort.
ProlapLase aims to firm the vaginal tissues that hold the pelvic organs up, using laser with no incisions. Choose it if a mild prolapse causes a dragging feeling and you want to try laser first.
RenovaLase aims to ease dryness, itching and pain during sex after menopause, using laser rather than hormones. Choose it if you cannot or prefer not to use oestrogen treatment.

Cosmetic gynaecology, also called female genital cosmetic surgery, treats three areas: the outer structures (the labia and clitoral hood), the vaginal canal, and the perineum between the vagina and anus. Concerns can be physical, such as rubbing during exercise, discomfort in clothing or during sex, or looseness after childbirth, and they can be about appearance. Matching the concern to the right treatment:
Our guides to vaginal rejuvenation and vaginal laser treatment compare the surgical and laser options side by side.
In the UK, cosmetic gynaecology can legally be performed by doctors without specialist training in the area. Here, labial and clitoral hood surgery is performed by GMC-registered consultant plastic surgeons, and vaginoplasty and perineoplasty by Mr Joe Daniels, Consultant Gynaecological Surgeon. The surgeon who assesses you at consultation is the surgeon who operates. Most labial surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation and vaginoplasty under TIVA, at our Baker Street hospital, rated Good overall by the Care Quality Commission.
Treatment is for adults aged 18 and over only; our article on the minimum age for labiaplasty explains why. Consultations are discreet and a chaperone is always available. You can see real patient results in our labiaplasty before and after photos, and prices in our labiaplasty cost guide. We recommend a two-week cooling-off period before any surgical procedure.
