Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty: Restoring Comfort and Confidence
Labiaplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora (the inner folds of the external female genitalia). Many women choose to undergo this procedure for aesthetic refinement, functional comfort, or both. Whether due to natural variation, childbirth, or ageing, labial tissue can sometimes cause discomfort or self-consciousness, and labiaplasty offers an effective and safe way to address these concerns.
Candidate Suitability
Labiaplasty may be appropriate for women who:
- Experience physical discomfort from enlarged or uneven labia during daily activities or exercise.
- Notice irritation or skin chafing when wearing snug clothing or during physical movement.
- Wish to achieve a more balanced or symmetrical appearance of the labia.
- Have concerns following childbirth or age-related changes in the genital area.
Each patient’s anatomy and goals are unique, so the procedure is always customised after a detailed consultation.
Procedure Options and Techniques
Several surgical approaches may be used, depending on the individual’s anatomy and expectations:
- Trim technique: The excess tissue along the edge of the labia is carefully excised to achieve a more refined contour and symmetry.
- Wedge technique: A small wedge of tissue is removed from the thickest central portion, preserving the natural border of the labia while reducing volume.
- Combined methods: In some cases, adjustments are made to the labia majora or clitoral hood for improved harmony in the overall area.
- Anaesthesia options: The surgery is typically performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthesia, depending on comfort level and the extent of correction.
While the procedure is generally well tolerated, patients may experience mild swelling or temporary sensitivity during the initial stages of recovery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following labiaplasty, most patients recover quickly with minimal downtime. To promote optimal healing:
- Expect mild swelling and bruising in the first few days, which gradually improves.
- Maintain good hygiene and gentle care of the surgical area during recovery.
- Light activities can typically be resumed within a week, while strenuous exercise should wait for 4 weeks.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing to avoid friction and support comfort.
- Individual aftercare plans are discussed in detail during the postoperative review.
Labiaplasty offers long-lasting results when performed with precision and care, leading to improved comfort and confidence in daily life.

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 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!!!
