Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce or reshape the labia minora (inner lips) and/or labia majora (outer lips) of the vulva. It corrects labial hypertrophy (enlargement), asymmetry, or post-partum changes that cause physical discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or when wearing tight clothing. Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation as a daycare procedure (60–90 minutes). All sutures dissolve naturally. Recovery is 4–6 weeks. Results are permanent.

Yes — labiaplasty is a safe, well-established procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. Complications are uncommon. Temporary swelling for 2–3 weeks is normal. Rare complications include wound opening (dehiscence — less than 5%), asymmetry requiring revision, and very rarely, infection. Sensation is typically preserved and may improve after removing redundant tissue. SurgiPartner's female surgeons have extensive labiaplasty experience using proven techniques with high patient satisfaction rates.

When performed using nerve-sparing techniques, labiaplasty does not reduce labial or clitoral sensation. Many patients report improved sensation after removal of redundant tissue. Temporary numbness immediately post-surgery is normal and resolves within weeks to months. Clitoral sensation is completely unaffected by labia minora reduction — the clitoris is not involved in the procedure. Clitoral hood reduction (hoodoplasty) is performed with equally careful nerve preservation when clinically indicated.

Trim labiaplasty removes tissue by linear excision along the free labial edge — the most reliable technique with maximum reduction capacity, leaving a scar along the new edge. Wedge labiaplasty removes a V-shaped segment from the labial body, preserving the natural edge texture and colour gradient — leaving a scar within the labial surface. Trim is most commonly recommended. The right choice depends on your anatomy, the amount of reduction needed, and whether preserving the natural edge is a priority. SurgiPartner's surgeons discuss both options at your consultation.

The labia are significantly swollen for 2–3 weeks post-surgery — making early results assessment inaccurate. By Week 4–6, most swelling has resolved and the early result is visible. The final result — with complete swelling resolution and scar maturation — is formally assessed at the 3-month post-operative appointment. Scars within the labia become nearly imperceptible within 3–6 months. Most patients are delighted with the results by their 6-week follow-up.

Yes — labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are frequently combined in a single surgical session for patients who have concerns about both external labial appearance and internal vaginal laxity. Combining both procedures reduces total recovery time, requires only one anaesthesia, and is cost-effective compared to two separate surgeries. SurgiPartner's female surgeons plan combination procedures carefully to ensure healing sequence is optimised and patient safety is maintained throughout.
