Intimate surgery - labia reduction
Enlargement of the labia after significant weight changes, pregnancies or simply your own aesthetic sensibilities can make you want to have your labia corrected or reduced in size.
Description
However, labia that are too large or too long can also interfere with sports (e.g. cycling, horse riding) or wearing tight pants.
Another reason for wanting surgery in the genital area is the functional impairment during sexual intercourse.
The invagination of labia that are too large can cause severe pain.
The intervention
In a labia minora reduction, excess skin or mucous membrane is removed from the labia minora and the incision edges are closed with fine, self-dissolving sutures.
It is important to have precise knowledge of the incision, which must be chosen individually in each case in order to achieve a perfect result.
Ideally, the operation is performed in a short twilight sleep.
Treatment under local anesthesia is possible, but rather unpleasant and not recommended by us.
Generally speaking, labiaplasty is uncomplicated and relatively low-risk for an experienced surgeon.
The aftercare
After the operation, you will stay with us for about an hour for monitoring and can then be collected by a trusted person.
Initially, the tissue will swell and the scar sutures will feel hardened.
There may also be slight bloody discharge in the first few days, which will stop on its own.
The secretions are mainly the local anesthetic.
You will feel pain especially in the first 3 days, during which time you should also take the painkillers regularly.
Expect to take a week off from business and private activities.
In the first three weeks after the operation, you should refrain from swimming, cycling and sexual intercourse.
You can shower the day after the operation.
The first check-up will take place one week after the operation, and you will be able to slowly increase your range of movement once the healing process is complete.
