Labiaplasty (female intimate surgery)

Purpose of the procedure

Female intimate surgery improves both the appearance of the intimate area and physical comfort. This is a rapidly developing field of aesthetic surgery that supports women’s wellbeing and confidence in a sensitive, professional manner. Labiaplasty, or female genital surgery, corrects the shape and size of the labia majora or minora, removes excess skin around the clitoris and reduces friction, pain or discomfort during movement, exercise or intimate activity. After the procedure, many women feel more confident, relaxed and comfortable. “Intimate surgery is not merely an aesthetic decision – it is a step towards greater comfort and awareness of one’s body.” – Dr Simmo

Course of the procedure

During the operation, the tissues are reshaped and excess skin is removed where necessary. The extent of the surgery depends on the patient’s anatomy and treatment goals, whether these involve restoring symmetry, relieving discomfort or making an aesthetic correction. The procedure takes approximately 30–90 minutes and is performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s preferences. In most cases, you can go home on the same day. The area can remain sensitive and sore for up to one week, but you can return to work after five to seven days.

Consultation

The consultation can take place in person at the clinic or confidentially by email using photographs. Dr Simmo is licensed to perform intimate surgery. He has completed further training in Vienna and has extensive experience in this field. During the consultation, you will discuss your concerns and whether they primarily relate to appearance or physical discomfort. Together, you will determine the most suitable solution.  How to prepare for your consultation

Anaesthesia

The procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery. You can go home after a few hours.

Recovery and aftercare

Mild to moderate soreness can occur after the operation and subsides within a few days. Exercise, sauna use and sexual intercourse should be avoided for approximately four to six weeks, until the tissues have fully healed. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities within one week.

Possible side effects and risks

Possible side effects include minor bruising, temporary swelling, changes in sensation and infection. In rare cases, scarring or slight asymmetry can occur. These can be corrected where necessary. All risks and the measures used to reduce them will be discussed thoroughly during the consultation.

Good to know!

  • The scars are positioned within natural skin folds and become barely noticeable once healed.
  • The procedure does not affect sexual function, and normal sensation returns as healing progresses.
  • The best time for surgery is outside the menstrual period, when the tissues are less sensitive.
  • The results are permanent.
