Labia reduction

Following a medical history and clinical examination, the operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anaesthesia, or under local anaesthesia if desired. The most commonly used surgical technique, which is associated with the fewest complications, is longitudinal resection (lazy S resection), in which the protruding part of the labia minora is removed.

The possible side effects and complications of this relatively minor procedure are manageable. However, in rare cases, aesthetically unpleasant scars, prolonged weeping wounds, soft tissue damage and discomfort may occur.

The older a woman gets, the smaller and more atrophic the labia minora can become. To compensate for the loss of volume, they can be rebuilt with an autologous fat graft or with hyaluronic acid. Volume augmentation with hyaluronic acid alone can be performed under local anaesthetic. Autologous fat grafting is performed under general anaesthetic. This operation is often combined with an additional tightening of the labia minora.

If the labia minora lose volume, the skin may no longer retract sufficiently. The labia minora look empty and wrinkled. The excess skin can be removed in a short operation so that the labia minora appear smooth again. If desired, these can be filled with additional volume (autologous fat or hyaluronic acid).

Too much skin around and above the clitoris can be sexually and aesthetically disturbing. The excess skin can be carefully removed in a short operation so that the clitoral hood looks beautifully taut. This operation is often combined with a reduction of the labia minora.

After several pregnancies and births, the entrance to the vagina can become enlarged and no longer recede on its own. Many women have the feeling that something "down there" is no longer right. Affected patients describe that "you feel open". Sexual intercourse is no longer perceived as intense. An operation can be performed to reduce the size of the vaginal entrance.

If this is perceived as disturbing, a scar correction can be performed.

Massive weight fluctuations can lead to a significantly enlarged and unsightly mound of Venus. If necessary, this can be reduced again by liposuction. If there is also excess skin, this must also be removed.
