Intimate surgery
Intimate surgery requires a discrete and personal approach, with attention to comfort, functionality, and aesthetics.
What is a labiaplasty?
A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure in which the size or shape of the labia minora is adjusted.
In some women, the labia are significantly large, asymmetrical, or cause discomfort during daily activities. This can lead to irritation, friction during sports, or discomfort when wearing tight clothing.
In other cases, the concern is primarily aesthetic.
The goal of the procedure is to achieve a harmonious and natural shape of the vulva, while maintaining sensitivity and function.

Treatments within intimate surgery
Intimate surgery includes treatments in the intimate zone, where both functional and aesthetic concerns can play a role.
Patients often present with complaints such as irritation, discomfort during sports or intimacy, or a sense of aesthetic dissatisfaction.
Common treatments include:
- labia reduction (labiaplasty)
- correction of asymmetry
- excess skin after weight loss or pregnancy
Discretion, safety, and a personal approach are central. During the consultation, the treatment that best suits your situation will be discussed in a calm environment.
INDICATIONS
When is a labiaplasty indicated?
procedure
How is a labiaplasty performed?
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, possibly with light sedation. The technique is tailored to the anatomy, the symptoms, and the patient’s expectations.
Safety
The choice of technique is always based on the individual anatomy, the shape of the labia, and the patient’s expectations.
With the trim technique, excess tissue along the edge of the labia is removed. With the wedge resection, a triangular piece of tissue is removed, preserving the natural edge of the labia as much as possible.
If necessary, a limited correction of surrounding structures, such as the clitoral hood, can also be performed to achieve a harmonious result.
Results
The result of a labiaplasty is a more harmonious shape of the labia.
Many patients experience less irritation, more comfort during daily activities, and increased self-confidence.
The goal always remains a natural result with preservation of function and sensitivity.
Aftercare
During the first few days, swelling, sensitivity, and slight bruising may occur.
These symptoms usually gradually subside within one to two weeks.
Sports and sexual activity are temporarily discouraged for several weeks to allow for optimal healing.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions about labiaplasty answered
Will the scars remain visible?
The scars are located in the natural folds of the vulva and are usually hardly noticeable after healing. Due to the good blood supply to the intimate region, scars generally heal favorably.
How is the recovery after a labia reduction?
During the first few days, swelling, sensitivity, and slight bruising may occur. These symptoms usually gradually subside within one to two weeks. Most patients can go home the same day.
When can I resume sports or sexual intercourse?
Sports and sexual activity are usually discouraged for several weeks. This will be discussed personally during the consultation and follow-up appointment.
Does the procedure affect sensitivity?
When the procedure is performed carefully and with respect for the anatomy, the sensitivity of the intimate zone is generally preserved.
Which technique is used for a labia reduction?
The technique is tailored to the anatomy and the expectations of the patient. Sometimes excess tissue along the edge is removed. In other cases, a wedge-shaped correction is performed, whereby the natural edge of the labia is preserved as much as possible.
Can a labiaplasty be combined with other corrections?
Yes. In some cases, a limited correction of the clitoral hood or the mons pubis can be considered to obtain a more harmonious result.
Is a labiaplasty normal?
There is a wide natural variation in the shape, size, and asymmetry of the labia. Treatment is primarily considered when there is physical discomfort, irritation, or clear aesthetic concern.
