Labioplasty

What is Labiaplasty (Surgical Reduction of the Labia Minora)?

Labiaplasty is the genital-sexual plastic surgery performed on the inner lips at the entrance of the vagina, which are called the labia minora. Today, many women visit doctors with the complaint of laxity or asymmetry (a condition where one labium is larger or saggier than the other) of their labia minora. These saggy labia cause loss of both sexual and personal self-confidence in women due to unsightly genital appearance, and ongoing genital discharge due to increased possibility of infection. The surgical procedure intended to reduce and correct saggy or excessively large labia minora in the genital area is called labiaplasty, which also colloquially known as inner lip reduction or labia minora reduction. With labiaplasty, the labia minora are usually reduced by removing their excess part. In order to obtain successful results from labiaplasty surgery, it is of great importance to determine how much tissue will be removed from the labia minora and how much will be left. The surgeon examines the vaginal structure and external genitalia, and then discusses the details with the patient to determine the desired form of the labia minora that can be achieved with surgical intervention.

Why is Labiaplasty Needed?

Labiaplasty surgery is needed due to laxity and asymmetry (a condition where one labium is larger or saggier than the other) problems in the labia minora. Since these saggy labia cause loss of both sexual and personal self-confidence in women due to unsightly genital appearance, and ongoing genital discharge due to increased possibility of infection, labiaplasty is preferred by women who want to get rid of these complaints.

How is Labiaplasty Performed?

Labiaplasty surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia by using self-dissolving sutures to avoid suture removal problems in the postoperative period. The physician identifies the deformity, laxity or asymmetry problem in the labia minora by examining the vaginal structure and external view of the genital area and discussing the condition with the patient. After this stage, the physician makes incisions and removes the excess tissues of the labia minora, and the sutures are placed after giving the desired form to the labia minora. Our surgeons prefer making incisions using gynological Er-yag laser in labiaplasty operations, in order to ensure less bleeding, enable patient to feel less pain and discomfort after the surgery, and shorten the recovery period in particular. This surgery does not harm the hymen, and does not pose any obstacle to sexual intercourse, orgasm, conception and childbirth. Patients face no problem with urination after the operation. Postoperative wound healing is completed in a week, and patients can have sexual intercourse after 3 to 4 weeks. When viewed from the outside, surgical scars are not noticeable. Patients can take a shower 2 days after labiaplasty. Remember that you must follow the recommendations of your physician for the success of labiaplasty surgery and for being able to avoid any health problems.

What are the Advantages of Laser Labiaplasty?

Making the necessary incisions with a laser device during labiaplasty causes less bleeding during the operation and ensures minimal post-operative pain and discomfort. In addition, since incisions made using laser are of higher quality, they shorten the post-operative recovery period and significantly increase the expected success rate. For these reasons, both our physicians and our patients have recently started preferring the use of laser devices in labiaplasty operations.
