Labiaplasty (Labia Reduction)

Achieve renewed confidence and comfort with our expertly performed labiaplasty, tailored to enhance your feminine contours and improve your overall well-being

The size and shape of the labia can be a cause for concern for many women unhappy with the appearance of enlarged or misshapen labia. There are two types of labia, the labia minora and labia majora. The labia minora are the inner folds that sit on either side of the vagina opening, and the labia majora are the outer folds surrounding the inner labia minora. Large labia, also known as labial hypertrophy, may develop due to genetics, after childbirth or as part of the ageing process. Labiaplasty, also known as labia reduction, is a highly effective and safe procedure for a permanent reduction in the size of the labia with an improvement in overall shape and definition.

Labiaplasty surgery or labia minora reduction can reduce the size of enlarged labia minora, which are the inner folds of soft tissue located on either side of the vagina. The best technique involves surgical removal of excess tissue using a scalpel before using fine absorbable stitches to restore the labial edges neatly. Labiaplasty is most commonly performed with a local anaesthetic and sedation, although a general anaesthetic may be chosen if you prefer.

RELATED: What is labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is also commonly requested to reduce the size of prominent labia majora which are the outer folds of tissue adjacent to the labia minora. Labia majora reduction is less commonly performed compared with labia minora reduction and requires an experienced surgeon to carry it out successfully. Labiaplasty is commonly confused with vaginoplasty. Labiaplasty is not designed to tighten the vagina. Vaginoplasty, also known as vaginal tightening surgery is the best technique to treat a loose vagina after childbirth by tightening the vagina. Women may choose to undergo labia surgery to improve the appearance of the labia, or they may have functional symptoms from having large labia, which include pain and discomfort whilst carrying out physical exercise or during sexual intercourse.

RELATED: What is labia reduction?

Labia reduction surgery at Centre for Surgery takes approximately one to 2 hours to carry out. Labiaplasty is most commonly carried out as a day case procedure which means you will be discharged later the same day and allowed to recover in the comfort of your own home, and this will maximise the chances of a smooth labiaplasty recovery.

For many adult women, enlargement of the labia minora and/or labia majora can cause aesthetic, functional or psychological issues. Women with enlargement of one or both sides of the labia minora may report increased irritation, inflammatory changes, reduced personal hygiene during menses, and painful intercourse. Many women with labia minora enlargement or asymmetry also report increased anxiety or self-consciousness, embarrassment or feelings of being insecure in sexual relationships or when wearing tight clothing. This has resulted in more requests for aesthetic surgery of the labia minora and/or labia majora. Dr Paraskevi Dimitriadi at Centre for Surgery performs labia reduction surgery to improve the labial appearance, address functional aspects, and alleviate psychological concerns. Labiaplasty can also address the outer labia, also known as the labia majora.

Dr Dimitriadi carries out between 150 to 200 labia reduction procedures each year, which makes her one of the most experienced labiaplasty surgeons in London and the UK. Dr Dimitriadi is dedicated to treating all labiaplasty patients with dignity to ensure they feel safe and comfortable with this surgery’s highly delicate and private nature.

There are three main types of labiaplasty procedures:

• Labia minora reduction
• Labia majora reduction
• Clitoral hoodectomy

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the aesthetics of the vulva, which is the outer portion of the female genitalia. The vulva, visible to the naked eye, is often mistakenly referred to as the ‘vagina’, though technically, it represents only the external component of the female reproductive system.

A significant part of the vulva is constituted by the labia, also known as the vaginal lips. This anatomical feature can be further divided into two categories:

The Labia Minora, which are the smaller, inner folds of the vulva, are the ones most commonly addressed in cosmetic procedures. These petite, fleshy protrusions can be larger in some women, leading to cosmetic dissatisfaction. Additionally, their size might cause discomfort or even injury during sexual intercourse due to potential interference. A labiaplasty procedure allows for the reduction of the labia minora to a size that is preferable to the individual.

On the other hand, the Labia Majora, the larger, outer folds of the vulva, are less frequently a cause for cosmetic worry. They resemble the skin in texture and are therefore less likely to necessitate surgical correction.

Apart from the labia, the vulva also includes the vaginal opening, the urethral opening, and the clitoral hood. However, these elements of the female genitalia are not typically the focus of plastic surgery related to this area. It is important to note that the main objective of a labiaplasty is to enhance the overall appearance and function of the vulva, thereby improving the quality of life for the individual undergoing the procedure.

What causes labia to become oversized?

The labia minora, which are the inner folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening, can become enlarged for a variety of reasons, including:

1. Genetics: Some women are born with labia that are naturally larger than average.
2. Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can cause the labia to enlarge.
3. Childbirth: Childbirth can stretch and enlarge the labia.
4. Ageing: As women age, the labia may become more elongated and enlarged.
5. Obesity: Being overweight or obese can cause the labia to enlarge.
6. Sexual activity: Sexual activity, especially rough or frequent sex, can cause the labia to enlarge.
7. Trauma or injury: Trauma or injury to the labia can cause them to enlarge.

It’s important to note that labia size and shape can vary widely, and there is no one “normal” size or shape. However, if your labia are causing discomfort, pain, or embarrassment, it may be worth considering labiaplasty to improve the appearance and comfort of your labia.

Labia reduction surgery can enhance the appearance of your labia, lead to an improvement in self-confidence and make you feel more comfortable about yourself. We advise all patients who are considering having labia surgery to think about their expectations for what they wish to achieve and to discuss this with your labiaplasty surgeon. The results of labia reduction surgery are both permanent and significant. Patients with realistic expectations will have a higher likelihood of being very pleased with their new appearance.

Labiaplasty, as a surgical procedure, can offer a host of benefits. These benefits may vary from person to person, depending on their reasons for undergoing the procedure. Here are some of the potential benefits:

1. Improved Appearance: One of the primary reasons women opt for labiaplasty is to improve the aesthetic appearance of their vulva. This procedure can help women gain a more symmetrical and balanced look, boosting their self-confidence and body image.
2. Increased Comfort: Enlarged labia can cause discomfort during routine activities such as exercise, cycling, or even while wearing tight clothing. By reducing the size of the labia, labiaplasty can significantly improve physical comfort.
3. Enhanced Sexual Satisfaction: Excessive labial tissue can interfere with sexual activity, leading to discomfort or pain. Labiaplasty can help in reducing this excess tissue, thus improving sexual comfort and satisfaction.
4. Psychological Well-being: The dissatisfaction with the appearance of one’s labia can lead to embarrassment, self-consciousness, or even anxiety in intimate situations. By improving the appearance of the labia, labiaplasty can help in reducing these psychological concerns, leading to improved mental well-being.
5. Relief from Physical Symptoms: In certain cases, enlarged labia can lead to symptoms such as chronic irritation, hygiene issues, or urinary tract infections. Labiaplasty can help to alleviate these symptoms by reducing the size of the labia.
6. Boosted Self-Esteem: Body dissatisfaction can significantly impact a woman’s self-esteem. By addressing this concern, labiaplasty can contribute to improved self-esteem and overall quality of life.

How to find the Best London Labiaplasty Surgeon

When considering having labiaplasty surgery, it is vital to seek a highly qualified and experienced surgeon with many years of experience. The ideal surgeon should be fully trained in all techniques of labia surgery, including the trim method, the wedge method and the deepithelialisation method. They should be able to match the correct technique to your presenting condition. They should also be highly skilled in managing all the potential risks and complications of labiaplasty surgery.

The face-to-face consultation serves as an ideal opportunity to explain what happens both before, during and after the procedure. Many patients are concerned about possible pain in the recovery period. Your surgeon will be able to explain all the pain management strategies which can be used to optimise your recovery.

Many patients ask us who is the best type of specialist for labiaplasty surgery. The two types of doctors who carry out labiaplasty surgery are gynaecologists and plastic surgeons. We believe that gynaecologists are inherently better trained to carry out labiaplasty surgery as they are specialists in the female genitalia and do not perform any other type of cosmetic surgery such as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or liposuction.

Surgeons who carry out labia reduction surgery should have an extensive collection of labia reduction before and after photos for you to view, which can enable you to form an accurate impression of how you could look after surgery. You should also view patient testimonials on accredited review websites such as Trustpilot.

Patient selection is a fundamental component of achieving excellent outcomes following surgery. The skilled surgeon will take a holistic view of your overall mental and physical health when deciding on your suitability for labiaplasty surgery. Patients who have chronic uncontrolled medical conditions may not be ideal candidates for labiaplasty, and your surgeon should be able to identify this and advise you against surgery.

Specialist doctors who carry out labiaplasty surgery should be on the GMC specialist register, which you can check on the GMC website. Surgeons should also belong to a specialist organisation such as the European Academy of Aesthetic Gynaecology or the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that can correct several conditions related to the labia minora, which are the inner folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. Some of the most common conditions that labiaplasty can correct are:

1. Enlarged labia minora: The labia minora can become elongated or enlarged for a variety of reasons, including genetics, ageing, childbirth, or hormonal changes. This can cause discomfort, pain, or embarrassment, especially during physical activities such as exercise or sexual intercourse. Labiaplasty can reduce the size of the labia minora to improve comfort and appearance.
2. Irregular labia shape: The labia minora can also have an irregular shape, with one side longer or wider than the other. This can cause discomfort, irritation, or embarrassment. Labiaplasty can reshape the labia minora to achieve a more symmetrical appearance.
3. Chafing or rubbing: Enlarged or irregular labia can cause chafing or rubbing, especially during physical activity. This can lead to discomfort, pain, or infection. Labiaplasty can reduce the size of the labia minora to reduce the risk of chafing or rubbing.
4. Discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse: In some cases, enlarged or irregular labia can cause discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse. Labiaplasty can reduce the size or reshape the labia minora to improve sexual comfort and pleasure.
5. Embarrassment or self-consciousness: Women with enlarged or irregular labia may feel self-conscious or embarrassed about the appearance of their labia. This can impact their self-esteem and sexual confidence. Labiaplasty can improve the appearance of the labia minora to increase self-confidence and self-esteem.

It’s important to note that labiaplasty is not only carried out for cosmetic reasons. If you are experiencing discomfort or pain related to the size or shape of your labia minora, labiaplasty can help to relieve symptoms. The best way to determine if labiaplasty is right for you is to have a consultation with a qualified cosmetic gynaecologist who specialises in genital surgery. The surgeon will be able to examine your labia, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine if the procedure is appropriate for you.

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the size or shape of the labia minora (the inner folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening). Women who are considering labiaplasty may have concerns about discomfort or embarrassment caused by the size of their labia or may have experienced pain or irritation during physical activity.

The best way to determine if you are suitable for labiaplasty is to have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon who specializes in genital surgery. During the consultation, you can discuss your concerns, and the surgeon can examine your labia to determine if the procedure is appropriate for you.

There are a few factors that can affect your suitability for labiaplasty, including:

1. Medical history: If you have certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, you may not be a suitable candidate for labiaplasty.
2. Age: Most women who undergo labiaplasty are adults, but there is no age limit for the procedure.
3. Pregnancy and childbirth: Pregnancy and childbirth can change the size and shape of the labia, and labiaplasty may not be recommended if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the near future.
4. Expectations: It’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of labiaplasty. The procedure can improve the appearance and reduce discomfort, but it won’t change your sexual function or sensation.

Overall, labiaplasty is a personal decision that should be based on your individual needs and goals. It is important to find a qualified plastic surgeon who can help you determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Labiaplasty Expected Results

• Surgical removal of redundant labial tissue on one or both sides to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look to the labia minora and labia majora
• Reduction in discomfort when wearing tight-fitting clothing or when undertaking sporting activities
• Labiaplasty may improve sexual function by alleviating discomfort during sexual intercourse – a commonly reported reason for having labiaplasty at Centre for Surgery.

At Centre for Surgery, we understand that discussing the issue of enlarged labia can be both delicate and awkward. From your first phone call to one of our experienced patient care coordinators to your consultation with Dr Dimitriadi, our team will take your concerns seriously and will treat you with kindness, consideration and dignity as we do with all of our labiaplasty patients.

Patients who smoke will be advised to stop for at least 2 weeks before the date of their labiaplasty procedure. Smoking has detrimental effects on microcirculation and is known to slow the wound healing process. All medications, prescribed and over-the-counter, will be reviewed. Aspirin and aspirin-containing medicines should be stopped both before and after surgery. Aspirin and NSAIDs impair the body’s natural clotting process and may cause bleeding complications after surgery. If you require pain relief after surgery, paracetamol is advised.

Whether your procedure is performed under a local or general anaesthetic, it is mandatory to have a responsible adult escort take you home in a car or taxi. You must not travel home on public transport after labiaplasty surgery.

Labiaplasty is a highly specialised surgery and requires tremendous attention to detail. If you choose to have the procedure under a local anaesthetic, you will also have the option of oral sedation, which may make you feel sleepy and hence feel more relaxed before the injection of local anaesthetic by Dr Dimitriadi. For some cases, Dr Dimitriadi may recommend a general anaesthetic, and you will then be asleep throughout the procedure under the expert supervision of an anaesthetist. With any technique, you should not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure as the area is injected with local anaesthetic before the procedure starting. The decision to have local or general anaesthesia is always your choice, although Dr Dimitriadi may recommend a general anaesthetic in complex or revision cases.

How long does labiaplasty take?

Labiaplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and takes between one and two hours to complete. The exact length of the procedure will depend on several factors, including the extent of the labia reduction, the patient’s anatomy, and the surgeon’s technique.

RELATED: Is labiaplasty painful?

Dr Dimitriadi will discuss with you the desired length of the labia minora to be removed, and the area will then be marked with your assistance using a hand mirror prior to the procedure. Additionally, it is important to discuss whether clitoral hood reduction is required. When deciding on the degree of tissue to be excised, the area is marked conservatively to prevent over-reduction. Dr Dimitriadi believes it is always better to slightly under-correct to avoid the risk of overcorrection, which is very difficult to treat successfully.

The labiaplasty procedure involves reshaping the labia minora using precise dissection techniques. Any unwanted tissue is accurately removed. There are several surgical methods available for labiaplasty surgery. Your surgeon will discuss with you the most appropriate technique applicable to you.

RELATED: Trim Labiaplasty vs Wedge Labiaplasty

Wedge Labiaplasty

Wedge labiaplasty is a surgical technique used to reduce the size of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips). This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of the genital area and to relieve discomfort or pain caused by enlarged or irregularly shaped labia.

The wedge labiaplasty technique involves making a V-shaped incision in the labia minora, removing a wedge of tissue, and closing the incision with sutures. This technique is typically performed under local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation and takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete.

The advantages of wedge labiaplasty include a shorter recovery time, minimal scarring, and improved sensation in the genital area. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, including infection, bleeding, and changes in sensation.

Trim Labiaplasty

Trim labiaplasty is a surgical technique used to reduce the size of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips). This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of the genital area and to relieve discomfort or pain caused by enlarged or irregularly shaped labia.

The trim labiaplasty technique involves making a straight incision along the edge of the labia minora, removing a strip of tissue, and closing the incision with sutures. This technique is typically performed under local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation and takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete.

Deepithelialisation technique

For mild to moderate labial tissue resection, the de-epithelialisation technique may be an appropriate option. The technique reduces the length of the labia whilst also preserving the labial border. This can create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance in addition to correcting the functional symptoms that many women experience. The downside is that it is only applicable for very small degrees of labia minora enlargement.

Whichever technique is used, once the desired level of correction has been achieved to achieve a youthful appearance, Dr Dimitriadi uses absorbable sutures to ensure correct healing. With her extensive experience as a gynaecologist in a London teaching hospital, Dr Dimitriadi is familiar with the diverse range of labia minora, and labia majora appearances and no one technique can be used in a blanket fashion for every patient. The key is a thorough evaluation in a private consultation to develop a customised treatment plan based on a patient’s main concerns. Dr Dimitriadi prefers the labial trim method as it carries the least amount of potential risks and complications and consistently has excellent outcomes.

What is the best labiaplasty technique?

Dr Dimitriadi will discuss with you the most appropriate labiaplasty technique based on her extensive experience in labiaplasty surgery.

After the procedure, you may experience some pain and discomfort in the genital area. Bruising and swelling are common side effects. This may last for several weeks. You can use ice packs to reduce swelling or take pain medication to help alleviate discomfort.

RELATED: How to reduce labiaplasty swelling

You will be advised that you should wear a pad – not tampons – for one week or until any bleeding stops. It is also recommended to wear loose cotton underwear during this time. You may find that during recovery after surgery, passing water may be slightly uncomfortable, although this is temporary in nature. The sutures used for labiaplasty surgery are fully dissolvable and will be naturally absorbed by the body. The vast majority of patients tell us that the procedure was much less painful and was much easier than they thought it might be.

RELATED: What is labiaplasty recovery like?

You may need to take about 3-5 days off work, and you will have to avoid any heavy exercise for 10 days. You will be able to resume your normal sexual activity about six weeks later. It is important to keep the genital area clean during the recovery period in order to reduce the risk of infection occurring. You should wash the area with soap and water on a regular basis and light sanitary pads for the first seven days. All of our labia reduction patients receive a prescription for pain relief medication although many patients remark that they did not require any pain relief as there is very little pain associated with labia reduction. An antibiotic ointment should be applied to the area twice daily after your procedure.

Is labiaplasty recovery painful?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that can cause some discomfort and pain during the recovery period. However, the extent of the pain and discomfort will depend on several factors, including the patient’s overall health, the extent of the labia reduction, and the surgeon’s technique.

Immediately after the procedure, the patient may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising in the area. The surgeon will usually prescribe pain medication to manage this discomfort. Most women find that over-the-counter pain medication is sufficient, but more severe pain can be managed with prescription pain medication.

The swelling and bruising will typically peak within the first few days after the procedure and then begin to subside. Ice packs or a cooling device can be used to reduce swelling and discomfort during this time.

In the first week after the procedure, the patient may experience some itching, burning, and discomfort in the area. This is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication or prescription pain medication.

As the swelling and discomfort begin to subside, the patient may begin to feel more comfortable. Most women are able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days, although they should avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse for several weeks after the procedure.

It’s important to follow the surgeon’s postoperative instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. This may include avoiding certain medications, taking antibiotics to prevent infection, and wearing a special dressing or support garment to protect the area.

Ensuring a smooth recovery process following a labiaplasty procedure is crucial, and there are several steps you can take to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Here are some aftercare tips to keep in mind:

1. Avoid Tampons: After a labiaplasty, it’s recommended to use sanitary pads instead of tampons. Inserting a tampon could potentially irritate the surgical site and disrupt the healing process.
2. Sitz Baths: Incorporate daily sitz baths into your routine to help reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort. A sitz bath involves sitting in a shallow bath of warm water, often with added salt, which can have a soothing effect on the surgical area.
3. Ice Packs: To help manage swelling and pain, consider applying ice packs to the area. Remember to place the ice pack on your underwear rather than directly on the skin to prevent frostbite, and limit each application to 15-20 minutes at a time.
4. Elevate Your Behind While Sleeping: When lying down, elevate your behind using a few small pillows. This can help reduce swelling by improving blood flow and fluid drainage from the surgical area.
5. Loose Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting clothes during your recovery period. Tight clothing could potentially restrict blood flow to the surgical site, which might hinder the healing process.

Dr Dimitriadi has many years of experience performing cosmetic gynaecology procedures, including labiaplasty and labia reduction. She regularly attends conferences overseas to learn about the best and safest ways of performing cosmetic gynaecology procedures. The labiaplasty surgery performed today is very different to that performed even 20 years ago, which is why it is so important for Dr Dimitriadi to keep abreast of changes in the field. Despite everything being done to make sure procedures run smoothly, there is always a small chance of complications occurring.

Patients should always start by making sure they choose a skilled surgeon such as Dr Dimitriadi to get the results that fit with their treatment goals. It is also very important to comply with all the postoperative aftercare instructions and restrictions on activity, which are vital to ensure speedy healing. During your consultation with Dr Dimitriadi, the potential risks and complications that can occur with labiaplasty will be discussed. The following are some but not all potential risks associated with labia reduction surgery. Most patients who have labiaplasty surgery never experience these risks as they are quite rare.

Some of the common risks and complications associated with labiaplasty include:

1. Infection: Infection is a rare but possible complication of labiaplasty. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, and discharge from the incision site. Antibiotics may be required to treat the infection.
2. Scarring: Scarring is a common side effect of labiaplasty, and the scars may be visible or palpable in the labia. The scars may be red, raised, or uncomfortable for several months after the procedure, but they will typically fade over time.
3. Bleeding: Bleeding is a rare but possible complication of labiaplasty. The patient may require additional surgical intervention to control the bleeding.
4. Pain: Pain is a common side effect of labiaplasty, and the patient may experience some discomfort and pain during the recovery period. Pain medication may be required to manage the pain.
5. Numbness: Numbness is a rare but possible complication of labiaplasty. The patient may experience some numbness in the area due to nerve damage, but this typically improves over time.
6. Unsatisfactory results: In some cases, the results of labiaplasty may not meet the patient’s expectations, and additional surgical intervention may be required to correct the problem.
7. Changes in sexual function: Labiaplasty can affect sexual function, and the patient may experience changes in sensation or sensitivity in the area.
8. Revision surgery: Revision surgery may be required if the patient is not satisfied with the results of labiaplasty.

It’s important to note that these risks and complications are rare and can be minimized by selecting a qualified plastic surgeon who specializes in genital surgery and by following the surgeon’s postoperative instructions carefully.

There are several factors that will determine the overall cost of your labiaplasty procedure, and the final quotation will be given after your face-to-face consultation with Dr Dimitriadi. Dr Dimitriadi can advise you on what the procedure involves and what can be achieved.

This was overall a great experience, all the staff at Centre for Surgery were friendly and put me at ease. It is a nerve wracking thing to go through an op but the staff were so nice. Mr Ertan has got a great team around him. On the day of the operation everything went smoothly to plan, there was no delay or holdups, I had another consultation with Mr Ertan who confirmed what was going to be done and that I was still happy to proceed. I was prepped for the procedure, I met with the anaesthetist who again was really nice and put me at ease explaining his role. After the procedure I woke up with the nurse by my side making sure I was OK and checking on me, I was able to stay in the clinic until I was ready to leave and was not rushed at all. I was well looked after from the start to the point when I was discharged. Post operation I was staying at a local hotel it was so close there was no point in even getting a taxi and I was able to walk back where my partner was waiting for me. I was expecting a lot of bruising to both my eyes but there was very little if any by the time the cast came off after 7 days, I am now at the two week post operation point and it is healing well with no outwardly visible bruising or scaring. The next milestone is a checkup at the 6 week point with my surgeon. If you're thinking of having something like this done I would highly recommend getting in touch with Centre for Surgery.

The staff at Centre for Surgery were very kind and accommodating. They answered any questions I had about the procedure and were constantly checking up on me. A special thank you to Christina for all her support throughout.

I would just like to state the quality of care received from the nurses at Centre for Surgery was beyond the highest level. Sophie takes her patient care to another level beyond words. She always puts me at ease. She is there for me even at awkward hours just when I mostly needed reassurance and she is one of the most compassionate nurses I have come across and demonstrates her passion naturally for caring for others. She totally deserves recognition at its finest and thank you for always being there for me. 😍
