Labiaplasty @ Blackrock Aesthetics
At A Glance - Labiaplasty
Symptoms & Suitability
This cosmetic procedure was brought into the limelight when the term "designer vagina" was coined. Labiaplasty is a procedure that is designed to reshape the lips and clitoral hood of the vulva and does not actually operate on or alter the appearance or function of the vagina itself.
Often the inner lips (Labia Minora) are too excessive, uneven, too thick or asymmetrical which can interfere with self- confidence and sexual activity and make some women very self-conscious even in clothing. Excessive tissue on one or both of the inner labia can cause discomfort even day to day in tight clothing/ using feminine hygiene products or tampons or during sexual intercourse.
Surgery
Stay
The procedure is performed on the day ward under General Anaesthetic or in my office under local anaesthetic if you are suitable both psychologically and physically for this. I will guide you on the best approach for your procedure.
The decision to perform it under local or general is sometimes my decision, but if I am happy with either based on you and your anatomy, then the choice is yours.
Scars
I use dissolvable stitches and keep the scars towards the inside away from the edges of the labia to ensure sensation is preserved. I will advise you on postoperative care and hygiene. You can be assured of our sensitivity and discretion.
