What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is an aesthetic and functional surgical procedure performed to shape and reduce the inner lips (labia minora) or outer lips (labia majora) in the female bikini area. This operation, which is usually performed because the inner lips are large, asymmetrical or sagging, provides both aesthetic and physical comfort.

When is Labiaplasty Necessary?

Although Labiaplasty can be performed for cosmetic reasons, it can also be a medical necessity in some cases.

Physical Discomfort: Tight clothing, irritation, friction and pain during sports or sexual intercourse

Aesthetic Concerns: Discomfort due to the inner lips being large and sagging

Hygiene Problems: Urine retention and increased risk of infection due to excess tissue

Postpartum Changes: Deformations in the genital area after birth

Psychological and Self-Confidence Problems

Healing Process

First 3-5 Days: There may be slight swelling, bruising and tenderness.

First 2 Weeks: Hygiene should be taken care of, tight clothing should not be worn.

1 Month: Sexual intercourse and heavy exercises should be avoided.

6 Weeks – 3 Months: The full healing process is completed, the stitches are completely dissolved.

Labiaplasty is an operation that increases the quality of life both aesthetically and functionally. If you are considering it, it would be best to have a detailed consultation with a specialist plastic surgeon.
