What is a Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty, also known as nymphoplasty or labioplasty, is an intimate surgical procedure designed to reduce and reshape the inner and/or outer labia. By refining excess volume, correcting asymmetry, or addressing relaxation of the tissues, it restores harmony to the intimate area while carefully preserving sensitivity and natural function. The objective is not only aesthetic refinement but also improved comfort and confidence.
Who is it For?
Labiaplasty is chosen by women who experience either functional discomfort or aesthetic concerns related to enlarged or uneven labia. Hypertrophy (excessive development) or loss of tone in this delicate area may lead to:
- Discomfort or pain during physical or sporting activities
- Irritation and friction in daily life
- Difficulty wearing fitted clothing comfortably
- Pain during intimacy
- Visible asymmetry between the two sides
- Psychological discomfort or loss of confidence
The procedure is generally available from the age of 18. In exceptional cases of severe hypertrophy, it may be performed from 16 years old with parental consent.
Type of Anesthesia and Procedure Duration
Labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia with light intravenous sedation for added comfort. The procedure takes on average 45 minutes.
How the Procedure Works
Dr. Guessous uses a refined triangular resection technique to reduce excess mucosa while concealing the incision within the natural folds of the tissue. This method ensures a discreet scar, preserves nerve endings, and maintains sensitivity. Absorbable sutures are used, eliminating the need for removal. Importantly, the procedure does not affect sexual sensitivity or the ability to give birth naturally.
Hospitalization
No hospitalization is required. Labiaplasty is carried out on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Aftercare and Recommendations
To support a smooth recovery and minimize risk of complications, the following recommendations are provided:
- Prefer showers over baths in the first weeks
- Wear breathable cotton underwear
- Avoid tampons and intimate relations for 4 weeks
- Refrain from intense physical activity, pressure, or sports during the same period
Results
The improvement is visible immediately, though the final result appears gradually as swelling resolves over approximately 3 months. The outcome is a more balanced, harmonious appearance that feels comfortable and natural.
Safety & Comfort
Performed by an experienced surgeon in a controlled clinical setting, labiaplasty is a safe and effective procedure. Risks are rare and may include minor infection, light bleeding, or delayed healing, all minimized with careful post-operative follow-up. Sensitivity is preserved, and scarring remains discreet within the natural folds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is labiaplasty painful?
Discomfort is usually mild and easily managed with simple pain relief. Most patients describe the experience as more of an inconvenience than true pain.
Will there be visible scars?
No. The incision is placed within the natural folds of the mucosa, leaving the area with a discreet and natural finish.
Will sensitivity be preserved?
Yes. Nerve endings are protected during the procedure, ensuring intimate sensitivity is maintained.
How long before I can resume intimacy?
On average, 4 weeks. Your surgeon will confirm during your follow-up visit that healing is complete before resuming sexual activity.
Can I give birth naturally after labiaplasty?
Yes. The procedure does not interfere with future natural childbirth.
When can I return to sports?
Generally between 4 and 6 weeks, depending on healing progress.
