Labiaplasty (Labia Reconstruction) in Gurgaon

Labiaplasty surgery is a quick procedure that takes around 30 minutes to complete.

It will take about four days to recover post-procedure, and it is advised to avoid any friction on the pubic region from intimacy or sports for at least 4-6 weeks post-operation. However, there would be minimal discomfort with this procedure.

With some surgical procedures, there can be some initial numbing in the area where the incisions are done. But this will fade over time, and you will restore your sensitivity within a couple of days.

The surgery will not leave any external scarring. After the stitches dissolve, the scar tissue can take months to soften. It’s advised to visit a certified plastic surgeon who will ensure that there is no more issue.

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 most ideal choice.

No. Labiaplasty is a surgery focussed 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.

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 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 suregry. 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.
