Labiaplasty is a specialized genital cosmetic surgery that focuses on reducing or altering the form of the labia minora, the delicate lips on the exterior of the vagina.
Labiaplasty is a transformative procedure that can address these concerns. The procedure is tailored to meet each patient's needs and desires, ensuring optimal results aligning with their unique anatomy and goals.
Dr. Anup Dhir, a renowned cosmetic and plastic surgeon and the best European qualified sexual medicine specialist and sexologist in India, understands the importance of feeling comfortable and confident in your skin.
Many women are born with naturally large or uneven labia, while others may develop this condition after childbirth or as they age. Regardless of the cause, having large or asymmetrical labia can lead to feelings of self-consciousness and even physical discomfort.
Women who frequently wear tight pants or engage in activities such as intercourse or athletics may experience persistent discomfort due to their labia size. This can significantly impact their quality of life and overall well-being.
Dr. Anup Dhir takes a personalized and patient-centered approach to labiaplasty. During the initial consultation, he will listen attentively to your concerns and answer any questions you may have. He will conduct a thorough examination and discuss the various surgical techniques available to achieve the desired outcome.
The procedure is performed in a fully accredited surgical facility, ensuring the highest standards of care and comfort. Dr. Anup Dhir and his dedicated team of professionals will guide you through every step, from the initial consultation to the post-operative care, ensuring a smooth and successful experience.
It can be done under local or general anaesthesia. The main complications include bleeding and infection. Over resection can cause scarring, leading to pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse. You may need to take about a week off to allow the swelling to settle. Sexual intercourse and use of a tampon may be resumed in 4 to 6 weeks.
If you are considering labiaplasty, take the first step towards enhancing your confidence and comfort by booking a consultation with Dr. Anup Dhir.
Labiaplasty surgery is available at Image Medical Centre.
Labiaplasty is suitable for adult ladies whose labia minora make them uncomfortable or cause constant aggravation. Common complaints involve pain with cycling and running, labia that fold up during sex, an inability to keep it clean, and chafing in tight clothing. Some women just want to make an appearance change. This is a good motivation, so long as the expectations are reasonable.
Labia vary greatly in size, shape and color and may be asymmetric. Surgery is not required and if your body does not require correction, Dr. Anup Dhir will let you know. This is typically deferred until the body is fully grown, and during any genital infection.
During the consultation, Dr. Dhir will review the labia, determine which tissue is causing the issue and discuss the available treatment options. There are two common procedures. Edge trimming is a process in cutting the outer border and stitching the edge. Wedge resection - a V-shaped section is removed from the thickest section, leaving the natural edge intact. If necessary, a large clitoral hood can be made smaller during the same procedure.
The procedure is done at Image Medical Centre under local or general anaesthesia and usually takes one to two hours. The technique you use is determined by your anatomy, and is decided after examination.
Labiaplasty is sometimes looked for as a tightening surgery for the vagina, but these are two distinct surgeries. Labiaplasty is a procedure to restructure the outer labia minora. Does not affect the vagina in any way or the vagina's inner lining. For women who are worried about vaginal laxity, they should inquire about another procedure called vaginoplasty. The answer will be determined through examination to see if an operation is appropriate for you and if it is, what one.
All operations involve risks. Bleeding, infection, separation of the labia, irregular healing, loss of sensation and scarring are potential complications of Labiaplasty. If too much tissue is removed, it can result in tightness and discomfort during sexual intercourse, and this is hard to fix. That's why it's important to go conservative.
Most women will be absent from work for 1 week. Over the next few weeks swelling and bruising will reduce. After 4-6 weeks, there will be a return to normal use of sex and tampons once Dr. Dhir has determined the area has healed. Until then, exercise and tight clothing should be avoided.
There is no pain during the surgery as the patient will be put under anaesthetic. Post-surgery pain and swelling is normal and can usually be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Vaginal delivery is not contraindicated with labiaplasty. If you are thinking about getting pregnant in the near future, please discuss this with your healthcare provider at your consultation so we can schedule around your upcoming pregnancy.
It will vary according to the technique, anaesthetic used (general or local) and if other procedures are carried out at the same time. A fixed number is only given once it has been examined. The consultation fee will be Rs. 2,000, online or in person.
