People are uncomfortable talking about intimate parts of the body and even more so about problems related to them. However, this is precisely why some problems become even greater and interfere with a harmonious life. Most people do not even know that genital surgery is currently rapidly gaining popularity and plastic surgery is able to perform various corrections, which are especially relevant for both men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women usually need such operations after childbirth, after the aging process, or simply because they want more beautiful genitals. They complain of excessively large or asymmetrical labia minora, which not only causes a lack of aesthetics, but also lowers self-esteem and causes inconvenience: pain or irritation when wearing certain clothes, performing certain movements, and having sex. The operation is most suitable if a woman is not satisfied with her labia, she is physically healthy, and does not plan to have children, because pregnancy and childbirth can cause the labia minora to stretch down again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the operation, the doctor removes excess tissue from the labia minora. At the same time, the labia majora can be reduced by liposuction. Local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia can be used for this procedure. The surgeon will advise you on which anesthesia option is best for you. Labiaplasty can be performed in two ways. The first is when a strip-shaped part is cut from the labia minora. The second is when a V-shaped part is removed. The incisions are sutured with dissolvable sutures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result is long-lasting and visible immediately after the operation. You may experience swelling, minor discomfort, and pain, which can be easily controlled with painkillers. It is recommended to wear special underwear for several weeks to support and strengthen the operated area. After the operation, you should not use tampons for a while and refrain from sexual intercourse for about a month. You can return to work after a few days, and start exercising after 2-3 weeks. The results of the operation are long-lasting, but if a woman becomes pregnant again after the operation, the labia may stretch again during pregnancy or childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n
