Consultation with doctor

In a consultation with our female surgeon, you will get answers to whether your vagina deviates from the norm and whether you are suitable for a labia correction. You must be at least 18 years old, as your labia are then mature. There is no such thing as a standard vagina. You are eligible for labia correction if you inner labia protrude too far and/or if you experience symptoms of bulging labia.

During the no-obligation consultation, our specialist will ask about your symptoms and wishes. Your labia will be examined, after which the treatment options will be discussed. You will receive clear information and explanations about the treatment, aftercare, risks, costs and the expected end result. Photographs will be taken beforehand, which can later be compared with the final result.

Treatment

labia correction illustration

A labia correction is a common treatment at SkinSurgery Clinics, where excess skin tissue is cut away under local anaesthetic. The pendulous part of the drooping labia are thus removed. Should you be very nervous, we can prescribe a sedative tablet. It is a minor procedure with permanent natural results. The outpatient treatment takes about 1 hour and is always performed by an experienced and highly qualified female surgeon. You may return home after the treatment and after a short recovery time.

No obvious scars remain after the labia correction. The inner and outer labia are balanced after the procedure and they form a natural whole. The inner labia no longer bulge. They may, however, retain a slightly irregular, asymmetrical appearance. This is normal. You will recover from the surgery within 2 weeks and be able to resume your daily activities. The labia almost always retain their natural sensitivity. The final result can be seen after 6 to 9 weeks.

Aftercare

Aftercare

Vagina progression

The surgery may be accompanied by some post-operative pain and swelling in the pubic area. You can take a painkiller against the pain. Swelling should be controlled immediately after the procedure and for several days with a bag of frozen peas or cold compress. Keep the wound clean by rinsing it at least twice a day while showering. You may rub the wound and surrounding area with a cream after this.

The wound is stitched with soluble sutures after the labia correction and is not bandaged. It is therefore wise to wear a panty liner or sanitary towel against any loss of blood. In the first four to six weeks after the procedure, do not engage in heavy physical activity, such as physical work, intense sports or heavy lifting. During the recovery period, wait 4-6 weeks before having sex.

Below you will see pictures of how recovery may go in the first 2 weeks. Know that everyone is unique and it may be slightly different for you. Therefore, be well informed during a personal consultation.

Risks

Risks

The risk of complications after a labia correction for drooping labia is virtually nil. Slight post-operative bleeding can sometimes occur or the wound can become infected and inflamed. Smoking results in poorer wound healing and increases the risk of inflammation. The experienced specialists at SkinSurgery work using state-of-the-art treatment techniques and the best instruments to ensure safe and result-oriented treatment.

Good and knowledgeable team!

For years I had been thinking about having this surgery. Finally, in a spontaneous moment, I booked a consultation and I could not have wished for a better experience. Dr. Amra is incredibly skilled, patient and friendly. During the surgery, together with the assistant Marije, she reassured me, gave me love advice and helped me tremendously. When I saw the end result, I had to cry: what a relief and it was done incredibly well. Now in my recovery period, I hardly experience any discomfort - the aftercare instructions were clear. Doc. Amra, thank you! Because of you, my life will never be the same again and I can finally see myself in a new light.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question that is not answered? Feel free to contact us Monday to Sunday, between 08:00 and 22:00, at the following number or email.

Who is a labia correction not suitable for?

Every body is authentic. No vagina is the same. Do you have the idea that your vagina deviates from the norm, without suffering from psychological or physical complaints as a result? Then it is important to realize that there is no such thing as a standard vagina or the average vagina. In that case, it is wise to ask yourself whether the result of such an operation really contributes to your sense of well-being. If the labia are not yet fully developed, a labia correction is not (yet) possible. The operation can be performed by us if you are over 18 years old.

Aftercare after a labia correction

After the labiaplasty, there is virtually no bruising. However, considerable swelling can occur. It is important to start cooling immediately after the treatment. An ice pack is recommended for this. We recommend that you continue to cool the treated area regularly for several days. Counter pressure is also recommended. This can be a hard chair or rolled up towel. It is also important to keep the wound clean. Therefore, it should be rinsed at least twice a day and after every visit to the toilet. The wound is not bandaged after the treatment. However, it is advisable to use sanitary towels to ensure that any blood loss is absorbed. We advise against extra efforts in the first four to six weeks after the labiaplasty. This can include heavy physical labor, heavy lifting, cycling and sports. It is also not recommended to have sex during the recovery period. It is recommended to wait six weeks before doing this.

What is the recovery like after a labia correction?

Na de schaamlipcorrectie kan een aanzienlijke zwelling optreden, hierdoor is het belangrijk om direct na de ingreep te beginnen met koelen. Hiervoor wordt meestal een zakje diepvrieserwten of een cold-pack gebruikt. Wij adviseren de zwelling enkele dagen regelmatig te blijven koelen. Daarnaast is het belangrijk om de wond goed schoon te houden. Minstens twee keer per dag moet daarom worden gespoeld, bijvoorbeeld tijdens het douchen. De wond en het gebied eromheen mogen eventueel worden ingesmeerd met een crème. Na de ingreep wordt de wond niet verbonden. Wel is het verstandig om maandverband te gebruiken om ervoor te zorgen dat eventueel bloedverlies wordt opgevangen. In de eerste vier tot zes weken na de schaamlipcorrectie raden wij het af om extra inspanningen te verrichten. U kunt hierbij denken aan zware lichamelijke arbeid, zwaar tillen, etsen en sporten. Ook vrijen is tijdens de herstelperiode af te raden. Wilt u meer weten over het herstel na een schaamlipcorrectie? Irene heeft deze ingreep laten doen bij SkinSurgery, en deelt in dit blog haar ervaring.

Who is a labia correction suitable for?

When your inner labia are so large that they protrude further than the outer labia, you may experience discomfort. The symptoms you experience as a result can be both physical and psychological. Physical complaints may manifest themselves in the form of pain during activities such as etching, horse riding and other sports. Wearing tight clothes can also be annoying or even painful. Sometimes, large labia also cause pain during intercourse. Psychological complaints can manifest in the form of embarrassment, for instance. If you suffer from one or more of these complaints, a labia correction may be a solution.

What is the recovery like after a labia correction?

Swelling may occur after the labiaplasty, so it is important to start cooling immediately after the procedure. An ice pack is used for this. We recommend cooling the swelling and the treated area for the first few days. It is also important to keep the wound clean. It should therefore be rinsed at least twice a day, for example while showering. The wound and the surrounding area may be smeared with a cream if necessary. The wound is not bandaged after the procedure. It is advisable to use sanitary towels to ensure that any blood loss is absorbed. We advise against making extra efforts in the first four to six weeks after the labiaplasty. This includes heavy physical labor, heavy lifting, etching and sports. During the recovery period, sex is not recommended. It is advisable to wait at least 6 weeks before doing this. Would you like to know more about recovery after a labiaplasty? Irene had this procedure done at SkinSurgery Clinics, and shares her experience in this blog.

Will a labia correction be reimbursed?

A labia correction is a procedure that is generally not covered by insured care. Only if the operation is medically necessary, some health insurers reimburse the treatment in rare cases. If you are considering a labia correction, it is wise to check beforehand whether your (supplementary) health insurance covers this procedure and, if so, under what conditions.

Is a labia correction safe?

Although a labiaplasty is a relatively simple procedure, there are risks with every operation. Possible risks after the procedure can include post-operative bleeding or the wound can become infected and/or inflamed. In some cases, the scars can be or remain numb after healing. Labia are naturally asymmetrical. Although the aim is to achieve the most symmetrical result possible, a completely symmetrical result after the procedure cannot be guaranteed. However, the inner and outer labia are brought into balance as much as possible.

What exactly is a labia correction?

During a labia correction, or labia correction, the inner labia are reduced in size. This can be chosen for cosmetic or medical reasons. The inner labia (labia minora) are surgically reduced in such a way that they fall within the outer labia (labia majora) and are thus better protected.
