Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty (also commonly known as vaginal rejuvenation) is a plastic reconstructive procedure that realigns and/or reshapes the labia in women. Labiaplasty can be performed on both the labia majora (outer lip) as well as the labia minora (inner lip), sculpting them according to the patient’s preferences. The most common concern is the excess/enlargement of labia minora (inner lip). Since the procedure is performed on a particularly sensitive region, thorough consultations are conducted before moving on to the actual treatment itself.

A number of patient’s seeking labiaplasty in Birmingham, bring valid and realistic concerns with them regarding the potential long-term repercussions of the procedure, and we are here to address those questions from start to finish, putting your wellbeing at the forefront.

Why Labiaplasty Is Important

In the majority of cases, patients request labiaplasty for purely cosmetic reasons. Most patient’s opt for a labiaplasty procedure to get a more ideal body frame through contouring the labia minora. However, in some unique cases, labiaplasty is a medical necessity, especially when the shape of the labia is significantly impairing daily activities. Poorly shaped or overly elongated labia could cause irritation and discomfort in the vulva even during simple activities such as walking or exercises.

No matter your reason for seeking out labiaplasty, we at Mr. Jag Jagadeesan’s Clinic are here to ensure you get the best possible labiaplasty in Birmingham. We take a holistic approach to guarantee your complete satisfaction and safety throughout the procedure, with no compromise on either count.

Labiaplasty Procedure

The core approach taken by your surgeon will depend on your exact concern and expectations. In either case, the procedure is performed under either a local or general anaesthesia for patient safety and comfort.

  • In case of labia minora (inner lip) excess – Edge resection (Trim labiaplasty) of the labia entails removing the excess labia minora along the edges of the labia through surgical methods to create a more ideal shape.
  • In some cases – Wedge resections, on the other hand, involve making an incision in the labia minora region to remove excess skin and make the region more taut with dissolvable sutures. The technique will depend on the exact amount and extent of excess that needs to be addressed.
  • In labia majora surgery, liposuction is often carried out to either transfer fat from the labia majora, or to lend them a fuller shape with better contouring.
  • All labiaplasty procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, so you will be discharged the very same day.
