Labiaplasty Surgery in Delhi

Yes. It is a safe and effective procedure that is performed for both functional as well as aesthetic benefits.

No, throughout the procedure, the patient is given an anesthetic, either local or general, depending on the type of technique and severity of the labia. As a result, there will be no pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Labiaplasty surgery is a simple treatment that lasts about 45 minutes. After 2-4 days, you should be able to resume your normal routine. However, for the first 4-5 days after surgery, the female should avoid strenuous physical activity, workouts, or sexual activity.

Swelling, post-surgery pain, and itching should all be significantly reduced within one week. Swelling can last for two to three days following surgery. After one week, the swelling, the initial pain due to surgery, and itching should be significantly reduced. Itching is normal following labiaplasty for the first week while everything heals. If itching persists, it could be an indication of a yeast or bacterial infection, or an allergic reaction to the medication, so consult your surgeon if that’s the case.

For labiaplasty, plastic surgeons usually employ dissolvable stitches, which take 3-4 weeks to dissolve. The scar often mixes in well with the labia minora tissue, which has many wrinkles and folds by nature. The scar tissue will grow stiff when the stitches disintegrate, before softening over time.

In Delhi, labiaplasty can be performed at any hospital with a dedicated gynecology department and experienced surgeons. Pristyn Care has its own clinics and also associated with a few of the best clinics in Delhi. All the clinics are well equipped and help you access the most advanced, specialized, and safe labiaplasty treatment.

No labia is abnormal. Just as we are all different, so are our genitals, their shape, size, and structure. However, at times, inner or outer labia can enlarge unusually because of stress during pregnancy, childbirth, age, or hormonal fluctuations.

If you feel chafing, rashes, pain, and itching very regularly around your labia lips, or frequently experience swelling around your vulva, chances are that your labia has enlarged over time. In such a case, we suggest you consult a gynecologist immediately and discuss the best possible treatment after proper diagnosis.

There is no definite reason for the growth of labia. It could either be shaped a certain way right from birth (congenital reasons), happen because of genetics, or enlarge over time because of hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, or menopause. This is entirely normal, common, and treatable.

Unfortunately, no medicine, creams, ointment, or home remedy can help reduce the size of an enlarged labia. Labiaplasty surgery is the only proven way to reduce or reshape the enlarged labia lips.

Both gynecologists and plastic surgeons perform labiaplasty. However, an Ob -Gynecologist specifically trained and experienced in cosmetic gynecology is the ideal choice.

The certifications of a labiaplasty surgeon must include one/ more of the following qualifications:

• MBBS
• DGO
• DNB/MS- General Surgery
• MS-Gynecology
• MS- Obstetrics
• MS-Plastic Surgery
• Masters Course in Cosmetic Gynecology (MCCG)
• Diploma course in Cosmetic Gynecology (DCCG)
• Fellowship in Cosmetic Gynecology (FCG)

An average consultation fee for a gynecologist/ plastic surgeon who can perform labiaplasty runs between INR 500-INR and 1500 in Delhi.

No. Labiaplasty is a surgery focused only on the reshaping of the labial lips (labia minora or labia majora), while vaginoplasty is the surgery to reconstruct the entire vaginal site. Both are done for different reasons. While labiaplasty is done to ease the constant chafing, rashes, itching, and swelling on the enlarged labia, vaginoplasty helps tighten and rejuvenate the loosened vaginal walls and pelvic muscles.

Yes, if need be, labiaplasty and clitoris reconstruction surgery can be performed simultaneously.

The best time to schedule labiaplasty surgery is 2-3 days after your current menstrual cycle.

Labiaplasty is typically a less than 30-minute surgery. However, including your preparation, some basic tests, and anesthesia time, it may extend to 45-50 minutes.

No. Cosmetic gynecologists ensure that the procedure doesn’t leave any visible scars on the labia lips. The incisions are made only in the natural folds of the vulva and are self-dissolvable.

No. Labiaplasty does not alter your ability for childbirth. Labiaplasty is performed only on the outer vulvar region, while the reproductive organs such as the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes lie way above it. Since none of either is invaded during the procedure, labiaplasty does not alter your reproductive abilities.

Itching is a very natural part of healing. You might also feel a little swelling and itching in the initial two-three days after surgery. You are advised to use your ointment during this time and keep the area clean and dry. With time, medicines should mellow the discomfort, and recovery shall be complete.

However, if the itching persists, even after a week, please consult your gynecologist immediately. It could be a sign of a yeast or bacterial infection. It could also be an allergic reaction to a medication. In such a case, you would need added medications.

Doctors advise you to wait for at least 5-6 weeks before resuming your sex life after labiaplasty surgery. Then, as you slowly heal and feel well-rested, please see your gynecologist for one final clearance. Thereafter, you are free to resume as you like.

No. No surgery, whether cosmetic or otherwise, is permanent in nature. Our bodies change with age and that’s only natural.

However, yes, the labiaplasty results are generally long-term and, depending on the type and method of surgery used, may sustain for more than 10-15 years.

No, labiaplasty is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, that is, a surgery you undergo out of ‘choice’ and not ‘medical necessity. Therefore, it is not covered under insurance.

However, Pristyn Care provides you with multiple payment options to ease your medical expenses, including low-cost EMI. To know more, you can call us directly, and our experts will help guide you through the process.
