Women with long or unequal lengths of the labia minora (inner lips of the vagina) can have them aesthetically reshaped with a labiaplasty procedure. Ageing and childbirth can change the shape, size and tone of the labia and surrounding vaginal tissue, both internally and externally. In other cases it’s simple biology as to why a patient may wish to undergo a labiaplasty procedure. Women choose to undergo the procedure for various reasons, some women can suffer discomfort during intercourse because of large labia, while others suffer embarrassment of visibility through some clothing and/or discomfort due to friction with some clothing. Labiaplasty can correct these issues relatively easily and discretely.-

    A key aspect of preparing for any surgery is that your Surgeon understands your desires and expectations. At your initial consultation, your Consultant will explain the procedure in great detail, discuss your expectations and what he/she can achieve for you, ensuring you have realistic expectations of the results.
    Your Surgeon will also want to evaluate your current physical health and health history, ensuring you are a suitable candidate for surgery. Because this is an elective procedure, you and your Surgeon will naturally carefully discuss the benefits and risks involved, as is the case with any surgical procedure.-

    The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1 hour. All River Medical surgical procedures involve an overnight hospital stay to allow us to closely monitor your recovery and ensure optimum safety. After all, a hospital environment is the safest and only adequate place to deal with any potential eventualities.-

    You will need someone to take you home when you are discharged by the Surgeon as you will not be able to drive. You may have bruising or swelling around the areas that were treated. Your Surgeon will tell you more about the typical recovery process and may make recommendations based on your individual case but by and large expect to take between 5-10 days off work. If your job is physical you may require more time. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.-

  • Will there be scarring?+-

    Scarring is generally not an issue in this area due to the make up of the tissue. The area has an excellent blood supply and therefore healing is incredibly fast.

  • Why do you not have before and after pictures on your website?+-

    Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be carrying out your surgery. As every person has completely different expectations and different treatment requirements, it is a much more valuable tool for your Consultant to show pictures of not only surgeries that he/she has carried out but also show you results you will be likely to achieve.

Testimonials

The team at River Medical really helped put me at ease. My surgeon, Dr Chatzis was really down to earth and approachable, as were the team of nurses. Of course I was pretty nervous on the day of my surgery but after my morning visit from Dr. Chatzis and my pre surgery nurse, I felt fine, even relaxed. I felt safe and cared for throughout. Two months on and I’m delighted, I would definitely recommend River Medical and the procedure.
