Labiaplasty Surgery London

A labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces or/and reshapes the size of the labia minora, these are the small inner lips of the vagina (vulva).

There are two standard reasons for why this treatment is sought.

The first is for comfort, an enlarged labia – whether this is through genetics, ageing, childbirth or other reason, can be uncomfortable, either on a near-permanent basis or when certain activities are undertaken.

Many forms of sport can be uncomfortable, or even rendered off-limits through discomfort, while sexual activity may also be negatively impacted.

In most instances, labia surgery could solve this problem, removing both the physical and emotional toll.

The second reason is aesthetic. There is no such thing as a perfect labia, but, as with so many aspects of appearance, any perceived issue can play greatly on our sense of self, self-confidence and self-esteem.

Labiaplasty surgery can tighten and reduce the size of the labia, creating the desired appearance.

Suitability can never be ascertained via a webpage, instead it would be discussed at a detailed consultation.

Any consultation with a leading surgeon should be obligation free with no pressure, nobody should feel forced into surgery.

Broadly speaking, those who have concerns about the appearance of their labia or have discomfort through an enlarged labia will be good candidates for surgery.

However, Mr Banwell would listen to you at the consultation, factor in your full medical history and recommend whatever is in your best interests.

A labiaplasty is typically performed under general anaesthetic – that is Mr Banwell’s preferred method though it can also be performed under local sedation.

The labia is then reshaped in line with the changes agreed at consultation.

It is impossible to describe the technique in detail when it would vary by patient. It is more important to note that Mr Banwell is a true specialist and so has a wide range of techniques and is perfectly equipped to both recommend the ideal change, and also then deliver this through surgery.

The patient can

• Return home the same day of the operation, although overnight stay is possible depending on the hospital location
• Have Little downtime as light activities can be undertaken after 48 hours
• Manage any minimal pain by mild painkillers
• Shower 72 hours post surgery
• See that Swelling peaks within 2-3 days and rapid recedes in following weeks
• Return to Sexual intercourse within 6 weeks

The patient satisfaction with labiaplasty surgery is extremely high. However, risks and complications apply to all forms of cosmetic surgery and labiaplasty is no different. Mr Banwell will discuss these in detail at the time of your consultations.

There are downloadable information sheets too on our website. However, the main (albeit minor) risks include bleeding, return to theatre, infection, dehiscence and delayed wound healing as well as an alteration in sensation.

Labiaplasty in London with Mr Banwell costs from £3680. The cost will includes surgical fees, hospital fees and specialist anaesthetist fee
