Labiaplasty
A labiaplasty can be performed if you are suffering from discomfort due to excess labial tissue. The procedure involves shortening or reshaping the vaginal lips to make physical activity or sitting more comfortable.
What to expect
Duration
A labiaplasty procedure can be performed under general or local anaesthetic and usually takes two hours. You may be able to go home on the same day as your operation or you may require an overnight stay in hospital.
Recovery
Before going home from hospital, you will be given a date to return to see the nursing team who will check your wound and/or your dressings.
You should avoid sexual intercourse for at least four weeks post surgery and sporting activities for three months. It is advisable to not return to physical work for at least two weeks.
Follow-up
Mr Kalu will see you in his clinic six to eight weeks following surgery.
FAQs
As with all surgical procedures it is usually safe and effective, but complications can occur. Mr Kalu will discuss the complications of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with you at your consultation so you can make an informed decision about the procedure and allow you to detect and treat problems early.
Absolute symmetry of your labia is not possible and it is not possible to guarantee any particular labial size following the procedure.
The exact surgery cost will be provided after the consultation as Mr Kalu will need to meet you first to assess your own individual needs.
A breakdown of the costs (hospital, surgical and anaesthetic fees) will be included in your clinic letter. The cost of the procedure also includes your dressings appointment post surgery and your follow up appointment with Mr Kalu six to eight weeks later.
