Labiaplasty surgery Perth

What are some of the reasons women undergo labiaplasty surgery?

Women may dislike the large protuberant appearance of their labia minora. This may be a cause of embarrassment with a sexual partner. Surgery on the labia can be as a reduction and can improve the appearance of abnormal labia. Some women may be born with large labia and others may develop it with childbirth or age. The surgery is relatively minor and not known to be painful.  Most patients having this procedure can return to work within days. Sexual activity may resume in about 4-6 weeks.

There are many reasons why women choose to go through this type of surgery, from physical pain to sexual dissatisfaction and aesthetic beauty. It is important for you to understand how your body affects you and to see how to better explain to your surgeon what you would like to achieve with the surgery.

Labia reduction surgery is elective.  The actual procedure usually requires you to receive general anaesthesia.  The surgery usually takes about one hour. You will need a pre-op examination, to check for basic background health issues.

It may be helpful for you to speak with a gynaecologist about this procedure, to get a better understanding of how it may affect your life.

What Does Labiaplasty Surgery Involve?

Reduction of the labia minora is performed under general anaesthesia with care taken to obtain as natural a result as possible. Care is taken to avoid over-resection of the labia, to avoid interference with the clitoris or urethral opening.

The reduction of the labia minora may serve to improve physical comfort and sexuality of the patient. Scars are minimal and normally only visible to the trained eye.

​Sensitivity is usually not an issue: psychological and relational components of dysfunctional vaginal experience can neither be caused, nor treated by surgery.
