Procedure Process Explanation

What is Labia Minora Surgery?

The labia minora are a pair of wing-shaped structures at the entrance to the vagina that help prevent bacteria from entering the vagina or urethra.

The labia minora can become deformed due to sexual intercourse, childbirth, congenital defects, and other causes. In such cases, not only can it cause discomfort in daily life, it also makes one susceptible to various gynecological diseases and can cause low self-confidence.

Labiaplasty (Labia Minora Surgery) corrects enlarged labia minora to help maintain hygiene, relieve discomfort and pain, and at the same time, improve self-confidence by eliminating complexes about appearance.

Labia Minora surgery process

Labiaplasty (Labia Minora Surgery) is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 to 40 minutes, removing unnecessary sections of the labia minora on both sides. Patients can be discharged one hour after the surgery and resume their daily lives immediately. Because it is sutured with dissolving microfibers, there is no need for a separate stitch removal, and healthy recovery takes around one week, with minimal to zero scarring.

  • People whose labia minora are enlarged due to varied causes
  • People whose labia minora are asymmetrical
  • People who experience discomfort and problems with sexual sensation
  • People who are reluctant to undergo surgery because of pain and scars

Revision Labiaplasty is Also Possible

When Labia Minora revision surgery is needed

This surgery is to correct the incision scars and asymmetry of the labia minora caused by previous surgery, and to restore functionality as well as aesthetics. If too many sutures are used, the threads may start to dissolve, causing a foreign body sensation or discomfort, so appropriate and delicate suturing skills are required.

Removing the scars from surgery and correcting the shape is a more difficult process than the first surgery, so you need the help of a medical team with a lot of experience in revision surgery. With skilled know-how, not only the length of the enlarged labia minora, but also the thickness, color, and wrinkle shape can be improved, leaving them thin and smooth with almost no scarring.

  • If the skin elasticity is lost and it becomes stretched again
  • If asymmetry occurs due to incorrect design
  • If you have experienced paresthesia (tingling, numbness) or vaginal dryness after previous surgery
  • If there are uneven stitch marks left after a previous surgery

This may be necessary if the labia minora are excessively large or asymmetrical, which may cause discomfort during intercourse or hygiene problems.

Since large labia minora can interfere with sexual stimulation, surgically reducing their size can help transmit stimulation more effectively. However, sexual satisfaction varies from person to person, so changes after surgery can vary from person to person.
