Labiaplasty in Guernsey & Jersey

Due to the sensitivity of the area, this is not a procedure that should be taken lightly.

The skill required to perform this procedure is demanding, and it is paramount that all patients seek professional medical advice before pursuing labiaplasty surgery and tightening.

Labial reduction is requested for both functional and aesthetic reasons, as many women encounter pain and discomfort from the excessive size of the labia, but also feel incredibly self-conscious when participating in sexual intercourse.

There are many reasons why surgery is considered, including inherent differences and asymmetry, excessive size, changes that come with age, protrusion and darkening, but also a desire to rejuvenate the area.

Discomfort in the labia can be caused by a number of factors, whether certain clothes or underwear rub, or you partake in activities and sports regularly, especially cycling and horse riding. The labia can also undergo changes during and after childbirth, as they tend to become larger. The further the labia protrudes, the more inclined it is to darkening and becoming coarse. Perhaps the most distressing of all, is that this issue can create problems and pain during intercourse.

Traditional techniques of amputation are no longer employed, as more refined techniques avoid visible marks, stiff suture lines and distorted contour and pigmentation.

The Aesthetic Skin Clinic adopts the most advanced and beneficial method for labiaplasty, which involves inferior wedge nymphectomy and superior pedicle flap reconstruction. This elegant and sophisticated method means virtually undetectable scars, preservation of the natural skin edge, and sensation of the labia.

Performed as a day case under brief general anaesthesic, patients are free to leave the same day as the procedure and will heal completely by 10 days, with dissolving stitches.
