What is labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects the size and shape of the labia minora and, if needed, their relationship with the labia majora. The procedure has both an aesthetic and a functional role — excess tissue that can cause discomfort is removed, and a more balanced, harmonious appearance is restored to the intimate area.
Enlarged or asymmetrical labia minora are a common and entirely normal anatomical variation, not a flaw. In some women, however, they cause genuine complaints — irritation, a feeling of discomfort during movement, exercise, or intercourse, as well as difficulty wearing tighter clothing. In these cases labiaplasty brings relief and greater comfort.
At Medical Time we approach the procedure with dignity and in a medical manner, with full discretion and confidentiality. At the consultation the doctor listens to the reasons — whether they are aesthetic, functional, or both — and explains what can realistically be achieved, so that the decision is yours, calm, and well informed.
Who is labiaplasty for?
Labiaplasty is intended for adult women in good general health in whom the shape or size of the labia minora causes aesthetic or functional discomfort. The decision is made after a consultation, at which the doctor assesses the anatomy and discusses the reasons and expectations.
The procedure is most often chosen by women who have one of the following reasons:
- enlarged labia minora that cause irritation or discomfort during movement and exercise
- difficulty wearing tighter clothing, a swimsuit, or during sports activities
- pronounced asymmetry or imbalance in the appearance of the intimate area
- discomfort during intercourse caused by excess tissue
- changes in shape following childbirth or with age
- a desire for a more balanced appearance and greater comfort in everyday life
How labiaplasty is performed
The procedure begins with careful planning and marking, so that exactly the excess tissue causing discomfort is removed while sensitivity and the natural appearance of the area are preserved. There are several techniques — most often the trim technique along the edge and the wedge technique that preserves the natural edge of the labia — and the doctor selects the one that best suits your anatomy.
Through the chosen technique the surgeon removes excess tissue and shapes the labia minora so that they are balanced, symmetrical, and free of complaints. The wound is closed with fine, absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed, as they dissolve on their own during healing.
The procedure is performed under sterile conditions, with appropriate anesthesia and a technique that preserves the function and sensitivity of the area. Precision and a natural result take priority, with full discretion throughout the entire procedure.
Preparing for the procedure
Preparation begins with a discreet consultation, at which the doctor assesses the anatomy and, if needed, orders basic tests. Confidentiality is guaranteed, and you can openly ask any question — aesthetic or functional.
For the procedure to proceed safely and recovery to be smooth, it is important to follow these tips:
- inform the doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners
- report chronic illnesses, previous surgeries, and allergies to medications and anesthetics
- the procedure is not planned during menstruation or during an active infection of the intimate area
- avoid alcohol and preparations that affect blood clotting before the procedure
- if it is performed under general anesthesia or sedation, follow the instruction to fast and arrange an escort
- bring comfortable, looser underwear for the period after the procedure
The procedure, anesthesia, and duration
Labiaplasty is most often performed under local anesthesia, with the option of mild sedation, and for more extensive corrections under general anesthesia. The type of anesthesia is decided by the doctor and, if needed, the anesthesiologist together with you, so that the procedure is completely painless.
The procedure itself most often lasts from about forty-five minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the technique and the extent of the correction. It is a precise procedure in which attention is paid to symmetry, preservation of sensitivity, and a natural appearance.
For most patients labiaplasty is an outpatient procedure after which you go home the same day, with clear written aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments. The entire stay takes place discreetly and in a pleasant atmosphere.
Recovery after labiaplasty
In the first few days, swelling, tenderness, and mild discomfort in the intimate area are common and gradually subside. Rest, hygiene as instructed by the doctor, and wearing looser, comfortable cotton underwear are recommended. Pain is most often mild and well controlled with prescribed therapy.
For healing to proceed smoothly and the result to be fine, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions:
- in the first days rest and avoid prolonged sitting and exertion
- maintain hygiene of the area gently and exactly as instructed by the doctor
- wear looser, cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing
- postpone intercourse, the sauna, the pool, and intense workouts until the doctor approves, usually several weeks
- come for follow-up appointments; the sutures are most often absorbable and dissolve on their own
- the final appearance is visible once the swelling has fully passed, over the following weeks
Possible risks and how we reduce them
Labiaplasty is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced team under sterile conditions, and serious complications are rare. As with any surgery, transient effects and, far more rarely, complications requiring additional monitoring or fine correction are possible.
The most common complaints are mild and transient, while more serious events are rare:
- swelling, tenderness, and transient discomfort in the intimate area
- mild bruising and tissue tightness while healing lasts
- rarely: infection, slower healing, or mild asymmetry that can be corrected
- a transient change in sensitivity that most often returns over time
- a careful technique, sterile conditions, and proper care reduce these risks to a minimum

Price — Labiaplasty
The price of labiaplasty is determined after a consultation, as it depends on the chosen technique, the extent of the correction, and the type of anesthesia. Since each case is individual, an exact estimate is given only after the doctor has assessed the anatomy at a discreet examination.

Frequently asked questions about labiaplasty
No. Labiaplasty has both an aesthetic and a functional role. In many women, enlarged labia minora cause irritation and discomfort during movement, exercise, or wearing tighter clothing, so the procedure also brings relief of complaints, not just a more balanced appearance.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so the area is numb and you feel no pain during surgery. After the procedure, mild tenderness and swelling are possible, which are well controlled with prescribed therapy.
Swelling and tenderness are most pronounced in the first days and gradually subside. Intercourse, the sauna, the pool, and intense workouts are postponed for several weeks, on the doctor's advice, and the final appearance is visible once the swelling has fully passed.
Most often not. Fine, absorbable sutures are used that dissolve on their own during healing, so no separate removal is needed.
The technique is chosen so as to preserve the sensitivity of the area. A transient change in sensitivity during healing is possible, which most often returns over time.
Yes. We approach the procedure with dignity and in a medical manner, with full confidentiality at every step — from the consultation, through the procedure, to the follow-ups.
