What is Labiaplasty?

It is a procedure performed to reduce the inner lips (labia minora) that appear larger than normal, drooping, wrinkled, wide, irregular and thick, providing many benefits both aesthetically and functionally. As a symmetrical and more beautiful appearance is obtained after the operation, the patient feels happier and more confident. For this reason, it is among the most preferred revision processes.

How Labiaplasty Is Performed?

In inner lip (labia minora) aesthetics, irregular areas are removed and a more tense appearance is obtained. At the same time, brown or black color changes can be corrected with a single operation. Usually, local anesthesia or sedation is used. Since aesthetic stitches are used, the scars are not obvious. The surgery takes an average of 40-45 minutes and is a very simple, painless procedure. If necessary, external lip aesthetics (vulvoplasty) is also performed. If the outer lip (labia major)s are weak and drooping, regional fats are transferred to provide a fuller, aesthetically younger, lively and pink appearance.

If a thick outer lip (labia major) is complained about, it is brought into a smaller and tighter form with the liposuction method.

Why is Labiaplasty Performed?

There may be deformities in the inner and outer lips after genetic predisposition, old age, smoking, excessive weight gain or frequent births. There are many different reasons for applying the procedure. These reasons include:

• When wearing a bikini or tights, the apparent puffy appearance from the outside can cause discomfort. This situation can negatively affect social life.

• Occurrence of bad odor, discharge and fungal infections due to the constant moistness of the genital area.

• Negative effects on sexual life, orgasm problems

• Feeling pain during sexual intercourse

• Frequent urinary tract infection

• Difficulty urinating

• Change of urine direction

• Frequent sweating and humidity of the area

• Loss of self-confidence

Things to Consider Before Labiaplasty Surgery?

Before the labiaplasty surgery, as a result of the genital area examination of the patient, it is determined whether the procedure is suitable or not and a treatment plan is made according to this examination. Before the operation, the patient is asked to quit smoking for a while.

Points to Consider After Labiaplasty Surgery?

Since it is a very simple and painless procedure, the patient is discharged on the same day after being kept under control in the clinic for 5-6 hours after the operation.

The area should not come into contact with water for the first 3 days. It is important to keep the area dry and pay attention to its hygiene. You should not enter the sea or pool for at least 2-3 weeks.

After a few days of rest, you can return to routine life. During the recovery period, tight trousers should not be worn, heavy and difficult work should be avoided.

It is recommended to stay away from sexual life for 1 month, to give importance to nutrition, to come to the controls regularly and to apply dressings regularly.

This procedure does not prevent birth.

Cost of Labiaplasty Surgery?

Labiaplasty surgery prices may vary depending on the patient's condition, age, other health problems and whether another procedure will be performed.
