Labia reduction surgery (also known as Labiaplasty) are becoming increasingly popular and less of a taboo for women to address. We treat women who are concerned about the shape and size of their labia, whether it is a result of natural childbirth, age, or even weight loss. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure carried out to correct and define the appearance of the inner labia, creating a neater and more symmetrical appearance. It is a surgical procedure which should be thought about very carefully. All of our specialist surgeons here at The Private Clinic are available to offer honest advice to suit your individual requirements.
Consultations for labiaplasty surgery are available at our London Harley Street, Manchester and Leeds clinics.

The Consultation
The first stage of your labiaplasty treatment journey will be a consultation with one of our expert labiaplasty surgeons.
At your consultation, your surgeon will go through the procedure in detail and examine you to assess your suitability for surgery.
Your surgeon will then discuss:
- Your medical history
- Your expectations from surgery
- Risks and Complications of labiaplasty surgery
- Aftercare
Following your consultation, you will be introduced to your dedicated patient coordinator who will be your point of contact should you wish to proceed with surgery.
Pre-Operative Appointment
The Labiaplasty Procedure
The labiaplasty procedure is a surgical procedure, which can be performed either under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic – your surgeon will recommend the most suitable procedure for you – and takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour to perform.
The inner and outer labia can be altered and reduced in appearance to fit a more standard labia shape and appearance. The labia are not removed, as they are needed to protect the delicate inner areas.
It is important to choose an experienced surgeon to avoid some of the common problems associated with inexperienced surgeons. There is minimal scarring involved as any incisions will be carefully made to be hidden by the natural folds around the labia.
It can be a very sensitive topic for patients and we assure you that you will be treated with the utmost discretion and professionalism.
The Labiaplasty Results
The results of a labiaplasty are a defined, neatly shaped labia. You can get back to your normal routine swiftly, making sure to follow the advice given by our medical team. You can then go about your daily life with the right kind of confidence and comfort.
After your labiaplasty procedure
Patients can experience some slight swelling and discomfort for the first week after the labiaplasty procedure. During the second week, the swelling will subside entirely and you will hardly be able to notice the incision marks. Most of our patients are advised that they may need between 1 and 3 weeks off work, depending on their own healing process.
You will be advised to take it easy for a couple of weeks – avoid strenuous exercise for 2 weeks and vaginal intercourse for approximately four weeks.
Full advice and support will be given and available for you post-surgery as part of our aftercare promise.
