Whether you're experiencing physical discomfort during exercise and intimacy, or simply seeking aesthetic improvement, labiaplasty offers life-changing relief. This delicate procedure reduces irritation, restores symmetry, and gives you the freedom to exercise, wear what you like, and feel completely at ease in your own body.
What Is Labiaplasty?
This labial reshaping procedure reduces or refines the labia minora or, less commonly, the labia majora. Many women seek labiaplasty to address physical discomfort during exercise or intimacy, chafing from clothing, or for aesthetic reasons seeking symmetry and proportion.
The procedure is tailored to each patient's anatomy and goals, with high satisfaction rates. Our partner surgeons take a sensitive, individualised approach, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance both comfort and confidence.
Common Concerns Labiaplasty Can Address
- Discomfort or pain during exercise, cycling, or sexual activity
- Visible asymmetry or enlargement of the labia minora
- Irritation or chafing from tight clothing or swimwear
- Self-consciousness about the appearance of intimate areas
Are You a Good Candidate?
- Women experiencing physical discomfort or emotional distress related to labial size or shape
- Those in good general health with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking before and after surgery
Techniques & Options
Labial tissue varies considerably in thickness, symmetry, and how much needs reducing. Your surgeon will examine the tissue structure, assess whether one or both labia need attention, and discuss how much reduction feels right for you. The procedure can address everything from a minor edge refinement to a more significant volume reduction whilst preserving sensitivity.
There are two main techniques:
Trim Technique
The most common approach, removing the excess labial edge along the natural border. Suitable for most patients with excess tissue.
- Removes darkened or irregular edges
- Provides symmetry and reduces projection
- Suitable for most patients with excess tissue
Wedge Technique
A V-shaped section is removed from the thickest part, preserving the natural labial border. Often preferred for patients concerned about scar visibility.
- Preserves the natural labial edge
- Reduces volume whilst maintaining contour
- Often preferred for patients concerned about scarring visibility
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Mild to moderate swelling and discomfort are normal and expected. You'll rest with minimal activity and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Your care coordinator will check in daily to monitor your recovery.
Week 1–2
Swelling begins to subside and most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities. You'll attend a follow-up to check healing progress. Ice packs and prescribed medication keep discomfort manageable.
Weeks 3–6
Gradual return to normal activities including moderate exercise. Most swelling resolves and your final contour takes shape. Sexual activity should be avoided until your surgeon confirms full healing.
Months 3–6
Final results become apparent as scars mature to thin, barely visible lines. Sensation normalises fully and most patients report significant improvement in both comfort and confidence.
What to Expect
Safety & Risks
Labiaplasty is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
- Bleeding or infection
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Altered sensation or numbness
- Asymmetry or scarring
- Over-resection (rare)
- Wound separation or delayed healing
Labial tissue heals differently to other body areas and sensation preservation is a primary concern. Your surgeon will explain how the chosen technique protects nerve endings, discuss the differences in healing between trim and wedge methods, and advise on aftercare to minimise swelling in this sensitive region.
