Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Many women seek labiaplasty to address discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness caused by enlarged or asymmetrical labia. At London Harley Street Clinics, we provide discreet, personalized care to help patients achieve comfort and confidence with a natural-looking result.

Who is Labiaplasty For?

Labiaplasty is an ideal procedure for individuals who: Experience discomfort or chafing during activities like exercise, cycling, or sexual intercourse. Have enlarged or asymmetrical labia that cause self-consciousness or irritation. Experience discomfort in tight clothing due to excess labial tissue. Wish to improve the aesthetic appearance of the genital area for personal confidence.

Types of Labiaplasty Procedures

We offer different labiaplasty techniques, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals:

  • Trim Labiaplasty – The most common technique, where excess labial tissue is removed along the edges for a smoother, more symmetrical appearance.
  • Wedge Labiaplasty – A V-shaped wedge is removed from the central portion of the labia, preserving the natural edges and texture of the labial tissue.
  • Clitoral Hood Reduction – Sometimes performed alongside labiaplasty to reduce excess tissue around the clitoral hood, enhancing comfort and aesthetics.

Labiaplasty Procedure Steps

Your surgeon will discuss your concerns, assess the labial structure, and determine the best technique for your needs.

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. Excess tissue is carefully removed, and dissolvable sutures are used for closure.

Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for the first few days. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks, with patients advised to avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse during healing.
