Why is this procedure performed?

This type of issue is not uncommon at all. One of the most common causes of changes in the size and length of the labia minora is pregnancy or childbirth. During this period, significant changes in the shape of this part of the vagina can occur. Additionally, a congenital anomaly and the result of the aging process can be cited as reasons.

At first glance, everything seems to point to a purely aesthetic problem. Feelings of shame, loss of confidence, and deep dissatisfaction are just a small part of a much broader picture. Women may face numerous functional disturbances in such situations. The problem may be visible through clothing, frequent irritations, chronic inflammation, difficulties in maintaining hygiene, the inability to perform various physical activities, and uncomfortable and painful sexual intercourse with a partner.

Studies show that the patient satisfaction rate is among the highest compared to other, much more popular and well-known procedures. However, this result is not surprising when considering that the procedure addresses both aesthetic and numerous functional problems simultaneously.

What does the surgical procedure look like?

Despite dealing with very delicate parts of the body, the procedure itself is straightforward and brief, performed in agreement with the patient under either local or general anesthesia. Although there are different techniques for performing this procedure, an experienced surgeon will assess at any given moment which is most suitable for the patient and will achieve the best results. Only 30 minutes to an hour is needed for the correction, and the procedure can be combined with other methods of rejuvenating intimate areas, such as addressing problems with the relaxation of the vaginal wall muscles.

What is the recovery like after surgery?

Since this is a routine operation, patients are usually discharged from the hospital after a few hours and can go home. Strict rest and relaxation are recommended for the first 3 to 5 days. The occurrence of swelling, mild pain, and discomfort is a normal phenomenon after the procedure, and cold compresses, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding activities are used to accelerate recovery. After the first week, returning to regular daily activities is possible. After the second week, all symptoms subside. However, for complete recovery, returning to physical activities, more strenuous tasks, and sexual activities is possible only between 4 to 6 weeks after the intervention. Like any surgical procedure, there are certain risks, but in this case, they are very rare and mild. Also, with regular check-ups during recovery and the experience of our team, the chances of such risks are minimized.
