A labiaplasty is an ideal approach for women to take if they wish to reduce the size of the labia after they have given birth. Those women who are struggling with pain and discomfort that excess tissue can bring, or have concerns about aesthetics, can benefit.

Usually, patients must wait a minimum of six months following childbirth before they can undergo a labiaplasty procedure. This period gives the body enough time to heal and dispel any inflammation.

Once this time period is over, you will also have a better idea of whether or not a procedure is right for you. At this point, if you wish to go ahead, you should book a consultation with a specialist surgeon at our Baker Street clinic in London.

What does labia reduction involve?

A labiaplasty is a very individualised procedure, and, as such, the surgical techniques used can be tailored to the patient’s needs. Usually, the procedure is under local anaesthesia. When the anaesthetic has been given, the surgeon will then use a scalpel to remove the excess skin of the labia minora. Our surgeons are trained in both trim labiaplasty and wedge labiaplasty.

After labia reduction, the patient may experience some soreness, swelling, and possibly bruising around the vagina.

After about 6 to 12 weeks, any swelling following the labiaplasty procedure should have subsided entirely, and the patient will be able to see the full results of the procedure.
