About The Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure
designed to reduce the size of the vaginal skin
flaps at the opening of the vagina. The
treatment is also referred to as vulval surgery,
labial reduction, a designer vagina and vaginal
rejuvenation, some of which are more common terms
used by members of the public. Women who are
suitable candidates for labiaplasty usually have
complaints regarding one or more areas of their
genitalia, such as impairments, discomfort or
aesthetic appearance. Surgery typically targets
two areas of the vagina inner and outer lips,
also known as labia minora the two small inner
folds and labia majora outer folds running from
above the clitoris to the perineum. Labiaplasty
is performed using either general anaesthetic or
local anaesthetic and sedation. Generally the
procedure takes one to two hours to perform.

Why Choose A Labiaplasty?
The lips of the vagina come in all shapes and
sizes and can often change throughout a
lifetime. It is common for females to be born
with naturally large vaginal flaps of skin as
they grow, however, lifestyle, ageing, hormones
and childbirth can also be factors in altering
the way the labia looks. If your vagina causes
discomfort and there are no current known medical
conditions, then it can sometimes cause distress
and feelings of sadness as the discomfort is a
constant reminder of an abnormally large
vagina. Discomfort can occur in particular when
wearing items of clothing, including yoga pants,
during sexual intercourse or exercising. Aside
from symptoms of discomfort, some women are
generally unhappy with the appearance of their
vagina because of excess skin, hanging lips or
sagging, causing them to be self conscious and
from time to time embarrassment.

Advantages Of Labiaplasty
For women who are considering labiaplasty, it is
important to understand the difference between
cosmetic labiaplasty and reconstructive surgery.
Cosmetic labiaplasty applies only to the
aesthetic appearance of the vagina, whereas
reconstructive refers to the function of the
vagina. The term designer vagina was coined by
the general public and mainstream media following
a surge in celebrities undergoing labiaplasty to
achieve the perfect looking vagina However,
almost all vaginas are as unique as the person
themselves and there is no set standard as to how
it should look. Instead, cosmetic surgery on your
vagina is personal preference and each female
usually has their own ideas of what they want
from surgery, including reduced lip size and a
vaginal facelift.

Advantages Of Labiaplasty
Advantages of labiaplasty include Reduce the
size of the labia minora (inner skin flaps)
Reduce the size of the labia majora (outer skin
flaps) Make the vagina look symmetrical (where
one side hangs lower than the other) Many women
who have undergone labiaplasty also found that it
boosted their self confidence and in some cases
improved their sex drive by eliminating body
conscious issues such as a baggy vagina.

Results
The results of labiaplasty can vary. However,
each woman usually has their own needs and goals
what they want to achieve from their cosmetic
procedure. Labiaplasty has a high success rate
and high patient satisfaction rate allowing
women to discuss with their surgeon how they want
their vagina to look. Results of cosmetic
labiaplasty can be viewed immediately. However,
there may be some swelling or bruising that will
subside after a few weeks as results continue to
show.

Aftercare / Recovery
When you discuss labiaplasty during your
consultation with your surgeon, you will be given
detailed instructions of your aftercare plan.
Often aftercare plans are tailored to your
individual needs depending on the type and extent
of your surgery. Having this in place before
your procedure gives you peace of mind and makes
you feel at ease when they day of your surgery
comes. Each labiaplasty clinic usually sets out
their own guidance on things all patients should
know, including downtime, driving information and
exercise. Below is an outline of the general
guidance you will need to follow

  based, active, strenuous) you will need between
