Labiaplasty

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the size and/or shape of the labia.

Why is this procedure is done?

• Large labia due to anatomical variation or after significant weight loss
• Irregularly shaped or asymmetrical labia
• Disfiguration/scarring due to injury/tearing during delivery of the baby
• Discomfort in the labia associated with enlarged skin
• Cosmetic reasons

How is the procedure done?

It is usually done under general anaesthetic in a hospital theatre.  Part of the labium/labia is removed and the skin sutured with dissolvable sutures. Post-operative pain is usually minimal and women usually leave hospital the same day.
