Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce or remodel the labia minora (labia minora). It can be performed for aesthetic or functional reasons – when enlarged or asymmetrical lips cause discomfort, soreness when moving, sports, sexual intercourse or wearing underwear.
It is important that you are at least 18 years old, have a stable weight, good general health, personal motivation for the operation and realistic expectations for the result.
Before the procedure, the plastic surgeon will talk to you about all your questions and expectations. The choice of a breast lift method is carried out individually, together with the specialist. Women who are planning pregnancy and breastfeeding are usually advised to postpone surgery.
Informed consent is a mandatory document that contains a detailed description of the procedure, possible risks and complications, anesthesia and financial conditions. It is signed after careful familiarization and the opportunity to ask questions to the plastic surgeon or anesthesiologist.

The duration of the operation is usually between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the scope of the correction. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, which are broken down by the body and do not require removal. After the procedure, it is necessary to remain under medical supervision.
Each patient recovers for a different period of time.
Revision surgery: It is performed after a complication or unsatisfactory aesthetic result.
The incisions are made along the old marks. Recovery is faster and easier.
If there is body hair in the area of surgical intervention, it should be shaved immediately before surgery.
Reception of a light dinner
A prerequisite is not to be on your period on the day of the operation and not to be pregnant!
Medication intake – only with water
You can drink a small cup of coffee, tea, water or juice
(if the operation is after 14:00)
No food
No nightgown, slippers or towel are needed – only personal toiletries.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, therefore, no pain is felt during the operation. In the postoperative period, moderate discomfort is possible, which is usually successfully controlled with medication.
Initial recovery takes about 7–15 days. Most patients can return to work during this period if they feel ready. Full recovery occurs gradually in the following weeks.
The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, and the scars are discreet. Over time, they fade significantly and usually become almost imperceptible.
