Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty: Restoring Comfort and Confidence
Introduction
Labiaplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic plastic surgery procedures, focused on the reshaping of the female genital area. Despite still being considered a taboo topic, more and more women are choosing to address irregularities that affect both the aesthetics and the functionality of this sensitive area.
Labiaplasty, also known as vulvoplasty, is the umbrella term for a range of surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance and functionality of the external female genitalia. It is not a single operation, but rather a collection of techniques applied according to the individual needs of each patient.
Candidate Suitability
The procedure is suitable for women experiencing:
- Labial hypertrophy (enlarged labia minora): the most common case, affecting 80–90% of women who choose labiaplasty
- Excess skin around the clitoral hood, causing aesthetic or functional concerns
- Atrophy or hypertrophy of the labia majora whether due to hereditary factors, significant weight loss, or ageing
- Asymmetry in the appearance of the genitalia
- A combination of the above, addressed through combined procedures performed in a single session
Contributing factors include genetics, childbirth, ageing, and the natural hormonal changes that occur throughout a woman’s life.
Procedure Options and Techniques
The Plastic Surgeon selects the most appropriate technique based on each patient’s anatomy and goals:
- Labia minora reduction: Removal of excess tissue with great care to achieve a natural and symmetrical result
- Labia majora reduction: Removal of excess skin and fat for a more harmonious appearance
- Labia majora augmentation with fat (autologous fat transfer): Fat is harvested from another part of the body and injected into the labia majora to restore volume and firmness
- Labia majora augmentation with hyaluronic acid: A non-surgical option for immediate results with minimal downtime
- Clitoral hood correction: Removal of excess skin to improve both aesthetics and functionality
Labiaplasty is a relatively quick procedure, typically completed in approximately one hour. It can be performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and the agreement reached with the surgeon.
Recovery and Aftercare
Labiaplasty is associated with minimal downtime compared to other aesthetic surgical procedures:
- Sutures are absorbable and do not require removal
- Avoiding physical exercise and swimming is recommended for a few weeks following the procedure
- The final result becomes apparent once swelling subsides, typically within 4–6 weeks
- Results are permanent, provided no significant changes occur (e.g. a subsequent childbirth)
Labiaplasty is today considered a routine procedure in the hands of a skilled Plastic Surgeon. Results are excellent both aesthetically and functionally, and patient satisfaction rates are notably high. Every procedure is individually tailored, with the goal of achieving the most natural and harmonious outcome for each woman.

A Journey from Germany to Greece Worth Every Mile
I traveled all the way from Germany to Greece because I wasn’t looking for just another plastic surgeon—I was looking for someone who truly understands beauty. In Dr. Askouni, I found not only a highly skilled aesthetic surgeon but a true artist.
From the very first consultation, she listened carefully to my wishes and understood exactly what I wanted: natural results that preserve my individuality and enhance my own features rather than change who I am.
I underwent a breast lift with implants and a blepharoplasty, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The results are elegant, harmonious, and incredibly natural. Dr. Askouni has an exceptional eye for aesthetics and a rare ability to combine surgical excellence with artistic sensitivity.
What impressed me just as much was the outstanding aftercare. Even after returning to Germany, I felt completely supported and cared for. The follow-up was professional, responsive, and reassuring, making me feel that I was never alone during my recovery.
If you are looking for a surgeon who respects your uniqueness and creates beautiful, natural results while providing exceptional care every step of the way, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Askouni. Traveling from Germany was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you, Dr. Askouni, for your talent, dedication, and for helping me become the best version of myself. ❤️

Dr. Evita is the most unbelievably caring surgeon. She takes time to discuss your needs and is so approachable. When I had a breast lift, she held my hand every step of the way. I highly recommend her and would not entertain anyone else. She always returns your messages directly, not through a third party.. Which, to me is everything.. 5 star 💫

Very good surgeon! You come out of the surgery, they take off your gauze and you see your incisions so thin you can’t believe it. The pain is really minimal. The creams she advises you to take and the way you should put them on the incisions help a lot so that after a year they are not noticeable. As far as Botox, she was the only doctor I went to that told me right away about the stuff she uses. I have never seen a more natural result!

I have only good words for Ms. Askouni. We performed brachioplasty and everything went extremely well. She was always supportive, both before the operation, during it, and after it. The results are already very good and visible, flawless sutures and incisions. Always kind, smiling and always by my side on a daily basis after the first days of the operation! Congratulations also to her assistant Dimitra, very good, very kind and patient.

I have only good things to say about Ms. Askouni!!! She approached my problem in detail, explained to me in detail the procedure that follows, which made me feel safe and confident. She was talkative and willing to solve any question or hesitation I had. Also, the most important thing is that after the surgery she called me to find out how I was and every week we had contact either by phone or in her office. She is an excellent, kind and friendly doctor. Ms. Magda is also very kind. Always with a smile!!!
