Goed en kundig team!

Al jaren zat ik met het idee om deze operatie te ondergaan. Uiteindelijk in een spontaan moment een consult geboekt en ik had me geen betere ervaring kunnen wensen. Drs. Amra is onzettend kundig, geduldig en vriendelijk. Tijdens de operatie heeft zij samen met de assistente Marije mij gerust gesteld, liefdes advies gegeven en geweldig geholpen. Bij het zien van het eindresultaat moest ik huilen: wat een verademing and was ontzettend goed gedaan. Nu in mijn herstel periode ervaar in nauwelijks last- de nazorg instructies waren duidelijk. Doc. Amra bedankt! Door u zal mijn leven nooit meer hetzelfde zijn en kan ik mijzelf eindelijk in een nieuw beeld zien.

Fine clinic

I wanted to have a labia correction and ended up at SkinSurgery Clinics because I had the best feeling about it after the consultation. This was mainly due to the friendliness of the staff and honest medical advice. The end result is yet to be seen but so far my experience has been very positive and everything is healing fine. My thanks to everyone from the team in Bergschenhoek.

How does this treatment work?

1.

Consultation with doctor

1.

Consultation with doctor

A labia correction against long inner labia is always preceded by a consultation in a relaxed and discreet setting with our female surgeon. In this consultation, you can discuss all your wishes and complaints. All your questions will be answered, all your doubts and uncertainties cleared up. Our doctor will assess your eligibility for treatment. You must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, your labia are not yet mature. Our female surgeon will tell you that no vagina is the same. Every vagina is unique and looks different. Just as you are a unique person.

During the initial consultation, your labia will be examined. Based on the targeted examination, treatment options are outlined, your anatomy, complaints and wishes are taken into account. You will receive clear explanations about what the treatment entails and what result you can expect from a labia correction against long inner labia. Aftercare, possible risks and costs are also discussed. If you decide to undergo a labia correction against long inner labia, photos are taken beforehand. These photos are later compared with the photos after the treatment. This gives you a good and honest picture of the natural result.

Treatment

2.

Treatment

A labia correction against long inner labia is an outpatient treatment. You do not need to be admitted to our clinic for this. In consultation with one of our plastic surgeons, it is determined how much bulging skin will be removed. The relatively simple surgical procedure takes place under anaesthesia. A labia correction against long inner labia can be performed either under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia (narcosis). The excess skin is removed. After this, the blood vessels are burned shut, after which the wound is carefully sutured. No visible scars are left behind. The day surgery takes about 1 hour and is performed by a female surgeon affiliated with the NVPC, the Dutch Society for Plastic Surgery. You will be allowed to go home after treatment and a short rest period. You are not yet allowed to drive. Take someone with you or have someone pick you up.

The size and shape of the labia varies from woman to woman. Whereas the inner labia or labia minora still protrude several centimetres outside the labia majora before the treatment, the labia are nicely balanced after the surgical correction. The relationship between the inner and outer labia is restored. The labia minora may retain a somewhat irregular, asymmetrical appearance due to the skin structure and the healing process. This is normal. The wound heals quickly. The labia minora are well supplied with blood. They retain their natural sensitivity after the labia correction against long inner labia. The final result can be seen after six weeks to nine weeks.

Aftercare

3.

Aftercare

The labia may be somewhat swollen and painful after surgery. You can take a painkiller against this. The slight swelling and pain can be counteracted by cooling the first days after treatment with a bag of frozen peas or a cold compress. Do not wear underwear that is too tight. Light bleeding may occur. It is wise to wear a sanitary pad or panty liner. The wound will not be bandaged. Keep the wound clean by rinsing it twice a day while showering. This promotes the healing process. You may apply cream to the wound and the surrounding skin area.

You may resume light daily activities soon after the labia correction against long inner labia, but take it easy for the first few weeks. Most women experience little pain and discomfort from the procedure, but the body needs some time to recover properly. In the first four to six weeks, avoid physical efforts that put pressure on the labia, such as heavy lifting, heavy labour, cycling and intense sports. It is not recommended to have sex during this recovery period. After about six weeks, you can resume all your activities.

Risks

Risks

The risks during a labia correction against long inner labia are low. The risk of complications after the surgery is equally small. In occasional cases, an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic fluid, plasters or disinfectants may occur. Bleeding, infection, impaired wound healing or thrombosis may occasionally occur. Our experienced specialists work with the best instruments and state-of-the-art treatment techniques to minimise the risks. And guarantee safe treatment with natural results.

You can also take measures yourself to eliminate any risks. For example, by quitting smoking. At least three weeks before the inner labia surgery and at least three weeks after the treatment. This reduces the risk of inflammation. Very occasionally there is a change in sensation in the labia, but this is rare. Our female surgeon works towards the most optimal result. Complete symmetry of the labia cannot be guaranteed. You will get the natural labia that suit you as a unique woman.

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 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.

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.
