Labiaplasty Surgery
Labiaplasty in Altrincham – Bollin Clinic
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces or reshapes the inner lips (labia minora) of the vulva. Some women choose labiaplasty for functional reasons — such as discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or wearing certain clothing — while others are motivated by aesthetic concerns. The goal is to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance while improving comfort and confidence.
Who Is It For?
- You experience physical discomfort due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia
- You feel self-conscious about the appearance of your labia
- Tight clothing, exercise, or sexual activity causes irritation or pain
- Your labial shape changed due to childbirth, ageing, or genetics
The Labiaplasty Procedure
Consultation
Your surgeon will discuss your concerns, goals, and assess the labial area to determine the most suitable technique.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is commonly used. You may also choose to have sedation for added comfort.
Trimming or Reshaping
Excess labial tissue is carefully trimmed or reshaped to reduce size and improve symmetry. The clitoral hood may also be reduced if needed.
Closing the Incisions
Dissolvable stitches are used to close the area with precision to minimise scarring and promote healing.
Recovery
Most patients return to work and light activities within 3–7 days. Swelling and sensitivity are normal and typically subside within a few weeks.

Labiaplasty
Frequently asked questions
Will it affect sensitivity or sexual function?
When performed correctly, labiaplasty does not affect sexual sensation. Many women report increased comfort during intimacy.
Is it painful?
Mild to moderate discomfort is expected for a few days, but most patients manage well with over-the-counter or prescribed medication.
How long is recovery?
Most women return to work within a week. Full healing usually takes around 4–6 weeks, and we advise avoiding sexual activity during this time.
Will I have visible scars?
Scars are minimal and well-hidden within the natural folds of the skin. They fade significantly over time.
What are the risks?
As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, or changes in sensation, all of which will be discussed at your consultation.
Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, it is sometimes combined with vaginal tightening, clitoral hood reduction, or cosmetic treatments as part of a personalised plan.
