Labiaplasty

About Labiaplasty

The vulva includes the labia majora, mons pubis, labia minora, and clitoris. The labia minora are the inner folds, and they vary widely in size and shape from one woman to another. When they are enlarged or asymmetric, they can cause pulling during exercise, discomfort in fitted clothing, hygiene difficulty, urinary tract infections, and self-consciousness during intimacy.

Labia reduction surgery removes excess labia minora tissue while preserving the natural pink edge and the clitoral hood. Two main techniques exist: trim labiaplasty, which removes the projecting edge directly, and wedge labiaplasty, which removes a V-shaped piece and reattaches the natural edge. Dr. Agarwal selects the technique that best suits your anatomy and goals.

Female cosmetic surgery here is planned with a private examination, photographs taken with consent and stored securely, and a clear conversation about goals. Some patients want a small refinement, others want both labia made symmetric, and many combine labiaplasty with clitoral hood reduction for a balanced result. We are honest about what intimate surgery can and cannot achieve.

The procedure is daycare under local anaesthesia with sedation, although general or spinal anaesthesia is available. Surgery takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on technique and whether other procedures are combined. Absorbable sutures are used so removal is not needed. Patients walk soon after and most return home the same day with written aftercare instructions.

Recovery is comfortable for most patients in Lucknow. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected for one to two weeks. Cold packs and elevation help in the first 48 hours. Loose clothing and gentle hygiene are advised. Most patients return to desk work in three to six days. Intercourse and tampons wait six weeks. Patient satisfaction is consistently above 90 percent.
