Vaginal Surgery

Labial reduction is a popular procedure with women who are dissatisfied with their long protrusive labia to the point that they find them uncomfortable or is highly selfconscious about their genitals because of the length of their inner vaginal lips.

Labia reduction is a relatively simple procedure. A surgeon will trim the labia so its sides no longer protrude. They will do this by simply cutting and re-stitching the inner lips. Alternatively, a v-shape cut can be made in the tissue and the sides sewn together so reducing the overall length of the labia.

Vaginal Surgery takes approximately 1 –2 hours to complete. The patient is required to be under a local anaesthetic. No overnight hospital stay is required.

Recovery is swift taking no more than 1 – 2 weeks, although sexual intercourse should be avoided for a minimum period of 4 weeks.

Labial reduction produces permanent results.

Initial soreness, swelling and discomfort are likely to be experienced in the days immediately following the operation. Urinating might also be uncomfortable at first, but this unwanted sensation will soon pass. Overall, there are no permanent side effects to be concerned about.
