What is Labiaplasty? Genital Aesthetic Surgery with Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical intervention performed to aesthetically or functionally reshape the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips) on the outside of the vagina. Performed on the labia minora (inner labia) or labia majora (outer labia), this procedure aims to improve both the physical and psychological health of women. Labiaplasty is preferred to correct deformities in the genital area, eliminate uncomfortable structures and increase women's self-confidence.
Who is Labiaplasty Suitable for?
Labiaplasty is suitable for women in the following situations
- Physical Discomforts: Abnormally large or asymmetrical inner or outer genital lips can cause discomfort when walking, cycling or during sexual intercourse. Labiaplasty aims to eliminate such discomfort.
- Aesthetic Concerns: Women who have aesthetic concerns about the appearance of the genital area can achieve a more symmetrical and aesthetic appearance with labiaplasty.
- Postpartum Changes: Changes in the genital area can occur after pregnancy and childbirth. In this case, the labia can be reshaped with labiaplasty.
- Changes with Aging: With age, the tissues in the genital area may loosen. Labiaplasty is suitable for correcting these tissues and giving a youthful appearance.
Labiaplasty Procedure: How Is It Performed?
Labiaplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases general anesthesia may be preferred. The duration of the procedure usually varies between 1-2 hours.
Reduction of the labia minora (Labia Minora Labiaplasty): If the inner lips are too large or asymmetrical, the surgeon removes excess tissue to make the lips symmetrical. This procedure improves women's physical comfort and provides a more aesthetically balanced appearance.
Tightening the Outer Lips (Labia Majora Labioplasty): Loosening or sagging of the external genital lips can lead to aesthetic concerns and discomfort. With labiaplasty, the labia minora are reshaped, excess tissue is removed and a firmer structure is achieved.
Stitching and Healing Process: The incisions made during the labiaplasty procedure are very thin and carefully made so that the healing process is faster and smoother. Stitches are usually invisible after the procedure and the risk of complications is low.
Recovery after Labiaplasty
Recovery after labiaplasty is usually quick, but individual differences must be taken into account. The healing process can be as follows:
- First 1-2 Weeks: Mild pain, swelling and bruising may occur after surgery. This is normal and will disappear in a few days.
- First 4-6 Weeks: It is recommended not to have sexual intercourse and to avoid heavy physical activity. Any activity that may irritate the genital area should be limited during this period.
- Full Recovery: Full recovery may take 4-6 weeks. During this period, patients should carefully follow their doctor's recommendations.
