Female genital surgery
The groin is one area a lot of women are unaware can be effectively treated with surgery. Childbirth can, in particular, change the shape and tone of vaginal tissue which sometimes results in embarrassment and occasionally loss of sexual satisfaction. Surgery can be carried out on a number of areas and recovery times are generally very quick.
Labial reduction (labiaplasty)
Female genitalia are usually more or less hidden, but larger than average labia minora or ‘inner lips’ may protrude well beyond the ‘outer lips’ of the vagina. The most common reason that women generally request this procedure is because the labia are perceived to be too large and aesthetically un-pleasing as well as the fact that they can cause discomfort with rubbing on tight clothing, and cause friction during sport such as cycling or even during sex. Women with exceptionally long or unequal lengths of the inner lips (labia minora) can have them reshaped under local anaesthetic.

Frequently asked questions
Labia Reduction (Labiaplasty)
Who will labia reduction surgery benefit?
Labiaplasty is the operation of reducing the size of the inner labia (lips) of the vulva. Some women experience sexual discomfort as a result of enlarged or asymmetrical labia (one side usually more prominent than the other), others experience chafing in the groin area when wearing certain clothing and some simply feel embarrassment when in intimate situations.
How is labia reduction surgery done?
Under a general anaesthetic the labia minora is carefully reduced in size by trimming away a suitably sized piece of tissue with the aim of achieving the most symmetrical result as possible. The surgeon will remove the excess skin from your labia minora, making the labia appear less large.
How long will labia reduction surgery take?
Labia reduction surgery usually takes around 1 hour, so patients are generally only required to stay on a day case basis.
What results can I expect from labia reduction surgery?
Patients who undergo labiaplasty can expect a more symmetrical appearance and smaller labia minora after surgery. They will feel more confident in intimate situations and happier with the way they look.
Q: How long is the recovery period from labia reduction surgery?
Patients are advised not to have penetrative sex for 4-6 weeks after surgery.
