Labiaplasty (Labia Minora)
Labiaplasty, also known as nymphoplasty, is a procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora, providing greater everyday comfort, improved anatomical proportion and a natural result.
Labiaplasty is one of the most sought-after procedures in female intimate surgery. It is indicated when there is excess tissue, asymmetry or elongation of the labia minora, which can cause both physical discomfort — friction with clothing, discomfort during physical activity and intercourse — as well as aesthetic concerns and an impact on self-esteem.
The surgery is performed in an appropriate setting, under local anesthesia, on an outpatient basis. The technique is planned to preserve the sensitivity and vascularization of the area, with delicate sutures and absorbable stitches. Recovery is usually smooth, with a return to light activities within a few days and the gradual clearance of exercise and intercourse during follow-up visits.
