Some women face functional problems such as discomfort during exercise, walking, or sexual contact. Others wish to improve the aesthetic appearance of the area for reasons of self-confidence and psychological well-being. The main reasons include reduction of the labia minora, changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth, natural aging, weight loss, and trauma.

Labia Minora Reduction (Labioplasty)
This is the most common form of labiaplasty. It involves reducing the size of the labia minora when they protrude beyond the labia majora, causing aesthetic or functional problems.
Labia Majora Reconstruction
Aims to restore the volume and firmness of the labia majora, often using autologous fat or hyaluronic acid.
Clitoroplasty
Procedures in the clitoral area for a better aesthetic or functional outcome.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. The surgeon uses special techniques to maintain the natural appearance and sensitivity of the area.
Recovery after labiaplasty requires patience and careful care. Patients usually return to their daily activities immediately, while complete healing is completed in 4-6 weeks. It is important to avoid heavy physical activities, swimming, and sexual contact for the specific period recommended by the surgeon.
Like any surgical procedure, labiaplasty carries certain risks. Potential complications include inadequate healing, changes in sensitivity, and inadequate aesthetic results.
The selection of an experienced urogynecologist who specializes in labiaplasty is critical for reducing risks.
Labiaplasty can offer significant benefits to women facing functional or aesthetic problems in the vulvar area.
Labiaplasty can positively change women's psychological state. Many women report increased self-confidence, improvement in sexual life, and reduction of anxiety related to their appearance.
A scientific approach by a specialized urogynecologist offers proper selection of the appropriate surgical technique, which is the key to successful outcome of the procedure with the desired aesthetic and functional result, without complications.
