Surgical Labiaplasty: Everything You Need to Know

Labiaplasty, also known as labia minora reduction, is an intimate surgical procedure aimed at correcting hypertrophy of the vaginal labia minora. This procedure is performed for both aesthetic reasons and to improve the comfort and well-being of patients.

Why consider labiaplasty?

Some women may experience discomfort due to overly developed labia minora, which can lead to:
    •   Irritation or discomfort during daily activities (sports, wearing tight clothing).
    •   Pain during sexual intercourse.
    •   An aesthetic complex that affects self-confidence.

Procedure details

Labiaplasty is a quick procedure, usually performed under local or general anesthesia. It lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour and involves reducing excess tissue from the labia minora while preserving their function and sensitivity. Two main techniques are used:
    •   The longitudinal technique: an incision is made along the labia minora to remove excess skin.
    •   The V technique: a V-shaped cut is made for a more natural and harmonious result.

After the operation: recovery

Healing is quick, with a return to normal activities in a few days. However, some precautions must be taken:
    •   Avoid sexual intercourse and sports for 4 to 6 weeks.
    •   Wear cotton underwear and prefer loose clothing.
    •   Follow strict intimate hygiene to avoid infections.

Results and benefits

The results of labiaplasty are visible after a few weeks, once the swelling subsides. Patients generally notice:
    •   An improvement in daily comfort.
    •   A reduction in pain and irritation.
    •   Better self-esteem and a boost in confidence in their intimacy.

10 excerpt(s) from our FAQ on this topic…
Nymphoplasty is an intimate surgical procedure that involves reducing the size of the vaginal labia minora when they are deemed too long, bothersome, or unattractive.
Motivations can be functional (discomfort during sports, sexual intercourse, friction, irritation) or aesthetic, with a desire to harmonize the appearance of the vulva.
Nymphoplasty can be performed from the age of 18, when the development of the genital organs is complete. In some exceptional cases, an earlier intervention may be considered after medical advice.
The procedure is minimally painful. It is usually done under local anesthesia or light general anesthesia. Postoperative effects include moderate discomfort, well-managed with simple analgesics.
Nymphoplasty lasts on average 30 to 60 minutes. It is often performed on an outpatient basis (same-day admission and discharge).
Swelling and slight bruising are common for a few days. Sexual intercourse, sports, and baths should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks. Local hygiene must be strict.
Scars are discreet, located in natural folds. After healing, they become almost invisible.
No, nymphoplasty does not alter erotic sensitivity. On the contrary, some patients report an overall sense of well-being and improvement in their intimate life.
In some cases, particularly when there is proven functional discomfort, partial coverage by social security or insurance may be considered. A quote and a prior agreement request may be necessary.
Nymphoplasty has a very high satisfaction rate, both aesthetically and functionally, with a clear improvement in daily comfort and self-confidence.
