Pendulous labia

You don't have to live with drooping labia if you don't want to. Skin + Surgery will be happy to help you.

How does this treatment work?

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

A labia correction is a common treatment at Skin + Surgery 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

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

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 Skin + Surgery work using state-of-the-art treatment techniques and the best instruments to ensure safe and result-oriented treatment.

Who is a labia correction not suitable for?

Every body is authentic. No two vaginas are the same. Do you feel that your vagina deviates from the norm, without suffering from psychological or physical symptoms as a result? If so, it is important to realise that there is no such thing as the standard vagina or the average vagina. In that case, it is wise to check with yourself whether the result of such an operation really contributes to your sense of well-being.

When the labia are not yet mature, a labia correction is not possible (yet). The operation can be performed at our premises if you are over 18 years old.

Aftercare after a labia correction

Virtually no bruising occurs after the labia correction. However, considerable swelling may occur. It is important to start cooling immediately after treatment. An ice pack is recommended for this. We recommend cooling the treated area regularly for several days. Counter pressure is also recommended. You can think of a hard chair or rolled up towel. It is also important to keep the wound clean. It should therefore be rinsed at least twice a day and after every visit to the toilet.

After treatment, the wound is not bandaged. However, it is wise to use sanitary pads to ensure that any blood loss is collected.

In the first four to six weeks after the labia correction, we advise against any additional exertion. You can think of heavy physical work, heavy lifting, cycling and sports. Sex is also not recommended during the recovery period. The advice is to wait six weeks for this.

What is the recovery like after a labia correction?

Swelling may occur after the labia correction, which is why it is important to start cooling immediately after the procedure. An ice pack is used for this purpose. 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. If necessary, the wound and the surrounding area may be rubbed with a cream.

After the procedure, the wound is not bandaged. However, it is wise to use sanitary pads to ensure that any blood loss is collected.

In the first four to six weeks after the labia correction, we advise against any additional exertion. You can think of heavy physical work, heavy lifting, etching and sports. During the recovery period, sex is not recommended. The advice is to wait at least six weeks for this.

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 labia correction is a relatively simple procedure, there are risks with any surgery. Possible risks after surgery may include post-operative bleeding or the wound may become infected and/or inflamed. In some cases, scars may be or remain numb after healing.

Labia are naturally asymmetrical. Although efforts are made to achieve as symmetrical a result as possible, a completely symmetrical result cannot be guaranteed after surgery. However, the inner and outer labia are balanced 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.
