In this article, we will explain the operation of labiaplasty.

What is labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery for women in which the surgeon changes and improves the appearance of the inner or outer edge of the vagina. According to statistics, most women who apply for labiaplasty want to reduce the size or length of the inner edge of their vagina. Although there is no theoretically defined size for the edge of the vagina, the best case scenario for most women is one in which the inner edge of the vagina does not protrude from the outer edge. Of course, in this surgery, the extra amount of clitoral cap can also be removed.

Types of labia

Labia majora: The labia majora or outer labia are two layers of skin that extend from Venus Hill on the pubic bone to the perineum. It is responsible for covering and protecting sensitive and internal structures such as the vaginal opening, labia minora and clitoris.
Minor labia or inner labia: Two layers of skin on each side of the vaginal opening that lie between the labia majora. The labia minora vary in color and size among women. The labia minora extend from the clitoris down to either side of the vaginal opening.

Why do women seek vaginal cosmetic surgery?

The anatomy of the labia in women and girls is significantly different and can change over time, especially after childbirth. Large or uneven vaginal lips can cause various problems for women.
Excessive or uneven muscle tissue and excessive wrinkles are a beauty issue for many women. Usually, women who are dissatisfied with the size and shape of their labia lose the ability to have a quality and enjoyable relationship due to decreased self-confidence or embarrassment in front of a sexual partner or even pain during sexual intercourse.

Large labia (lips of the vagina) appear when a woman wears a tight suit or bikini. This causes the person to constantly use loose clothing to get rid of this worry, which puts a lot of restrictions on the choice of his favorite clothes. For some people, the problem is a little more complicated, and large vaginal lips cause chronic irritation and discomfort while working, exercising, and even performing daily life tasks, all of which, of course, are common with labiaplasty, which is usually performed by a gynecologist. It can be done on an outpatient basis.

The main reasons why women undergo vaginal cosmetic surgery are:
Pain during sexual intercourse
Having a clean and beautiful appearance
Correction of apparent vaginal asymmetry
Lack of clitoral stimulation due to extra clitoral cap skin
Pain or discomfort during activities such as cycling
Discomfort when wearing tight clothing such as leggings and jeans
Feeling of stretch, wear and burning during exercise

Familiarity with vaginal cosmetic surgery procedures
There are different methods for performing labiaplasty surgery. But there are usually two methods that are preferred by surgeons:
Trim and wedge methods

1- Trim technique:

In this technique, the inner lips are clamped and incised and the edges are sutured. This type of surgery takes about 1 hour. The image below shows this method.

2- Wedge technique:

By making a V-shaped incision at the edges of the labia minora, most of the tissue that is removed will be the central tissues. This type of operation will take longer, but will have better results.

Surgical techniques and cutting of vaginal lips in labiaplasty

How long does vaginal cosmetic surgery (labiaplasty) take?
Prior to any labiaplasty, a consultation at the clinic is definitely needed. In this session, your doctor will explain the procedure to you and help you understand what to expect before, during and after surgery. Most labiaplasties are performed under local anesthesia without intravenous injection (IV therapy). The operation time is about one hour and you can easily return home after the operation (after a half hour break).

Labiaplasty is one of the safest and safest surgeries. This operation, if performed by an experienced surgeon, in a reputable clinic or office, will be completely safe and will create a sweet experience for you. That is why we offer you the Bluetooth clinic.

Complications of labiaplasty:

Labiaplasty, like most surgeries, has natural side effects that improve in the short term. One of these complications is swelling at the surgical site. Because the vagina has a lot of tissues and lymph nodes and nerves, surgery causes little damage to the arteries and tissues in this area, which eventually causes swelling in the vagina. Sometimes it takes up to a month for the vaginal swelling to heal, which is nothing to worry about and goes away.

Postoperative care for labiaplasty
Recovery after labiaplasty surgery is relatively quick. In short Here is what you should follow after the operation:

In the first three days after surgery, it is normal to feel pain and swelling that can be easily controlled with painkillers such as ibuprofen.
The first day after surgery, it is recommended to use ice packs and keep the genital area clean.
Avoid tight-fitting clothing until complete recovery.
Most patients return to work and normal activities in less than a week (3 to 5 days).
You can take a shower 24 hours after surgery, but you should avoid rubbing the surgical site.
Prolonged bathing, sitting in the bathtub or going to the pool are not allowed until complete recovery.
Swelling and pain are greatest for up to three days, and the swelling will subside over two or three weeks after surgery.
The use of fiber-rich foods such as figs is effective in reducing the swelling caused by labiaplasty surgery. Eating high-fat and high-salt foods will increase inflation.
Avoid exercise that directly puts pressure and wear on the genital area (cycling, horseback riding, etc.) until you are completely healed.
Sexual activity can be resumed 3 to 4 weeks after surgery, but most women prefer to wait 6 to 8 weeks to prevent the wound from opening. (It is best to allow the surgical site to heal completely, otherwise you may have to go through a new recovery period.) Note that all recommendations and recovery procedures vary from patient to patient. Therefore, these general recommendations may not be applicable to all patients. Be sure to contact your doctor and resume various activities at his discretion.

What age is suitable for cosmetic vaginal surgery (labiaplasty)?

Due to the fact that physical growth and sexual maturity, as well as the aging process is not the same in all women and is different and depends on many cases, it is not possible to determine an exact age range for all women. It can be done for girls over 20 up to 50 years old women without any problems. Over the age of 50, the body usually has difficulty repairing and suturing itself, so vaginal cosmetic surgery is not recommended at this age. In the case of girls under the age of 20, they may not have reached full sexual maturity. It is important to note that puberty is associated with the growth of the labia. For this reason, girls under this age are advised to refrain from labioplasty until they reach the age of 20.

How much does a labiaplasty cost?

Does vaginal cosmetic surgery hurt?

Undoubtedly, many women are afraid of having a labiaplasty and think it is a painful operation.

But it is necessary to explain that this operation is currently performed in the Bluetooth clinic with the latest anesthesia methods and in several stages of anesthesia. Labiaplasty is now performed under complete and completely painless anesthesia, and you will be completely relieved about this.

Does Labiaplasty Reduce Sexual Desire?

Some women worry that labiaplasty may reduce their libido. The answer is that women’s sexual nerves are located at two points in the vagina. The first part is at the G point, which is located inside the vagina and causes sexual arousal inside the vagina, and the second part is in the chitoris and causes external orgasm. Since there are no sexual nerves in the labia, the cosmetic operation of the labia does not harm the female sexual relations. On the other hand, as the vagina becomes more beautiful, your self-confidence in sex will increase much, and this will improve your sex life. This is one of the main reasons why women tend to have vaginal cosmetic procedures around the world.

Is this procedure also useful for lightening the vagina?

It depends on the type and degree of vaginal opacity. If vaginal opacity is in the labia majora area, it cannot be corrected using vaginal cosmetic surgery.

Pregnant women: Pregnancy is not a good time for labiaplasty surgery. Because labiaplasty is performed under general anesthesia and may have side effects on the health of the fetus, hormonal changes during pregnancy cause the labia to become large and swollen.

Does complete shortening of the labia eliminate sexual desire?

No. The sex nerves are not located in the labia minora and are mainly located in the clitoris and the G-spot inside the vagina, so cosmetic vaginal surgery does not destroy them.

Do the labia enlarge again after a normal birth?

The labia do not grow. The volume of the labia increases during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. When we make the labia short and well-shaped in the labiaplasty procedure, it is no longer possible for them to grow back. So do not worry about this.
