The vagina is one of the major female organs, consisting of several tissues, among which are labia or skin folds around a woman’s vagina. Labia can be distinguished by two types: the inner and outer lips of the female sexual organs. In the long run, due to things such as aging, child delivery, and genetic causes, these tissues have a tendency to droop, stretch, and eventually lose their natural shape. This poses a risk not only to the appearance but also to the function of the area.
Childbirth and age can eventually sag or make the labia asymmetrical, thus creating aesthetic and comfort concerns that dent confidence, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life. Estevitalya Clinic in Antalya offers labiaplasty-a specialized procedure intended to restore the labia to their more youthful, symmetrical, natural appearance that helps women feel more comfortable and confident.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to restore the shape, symmetry, and beauty of the labia according to the will of the patient. The outer genital area, or the vulva, contains two sets of fleshy folds called labia minora, or inner lips, and labia majora or outer lips. With time, these tissues eventually become extended or asymmetrical due to influences such as child delivery, genetics, and aging. Labiaplasty corrects such conditions by rendering the genital area proportional and beautiful again.
Why Labiaplasty?
This surgery is indicated for women with any type of labial laxity and redundancy or those with aesthetic complaints about their labia. Removing too much tissue will provide a firmer and more symmetrical labium, which will meet the patient’s aesthetic needs.
How is Labiaplasty Surgery Performed?
The process of Labiaplasty involves a consultation in detail about the patient’s goals and his aesthetic preference. The doctor inspects the labia for every degree of sagging, excess tissue, and asymmetry to formulate a treatment plan in particular.
Labioplasty can be done under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia, whichever the patient prefers and their medical condition supports. Extra tissue from either labia minora or majora is carefully excised, and particular dissolvable sutures are used to reshape and tighten that area. The stitches used are of a self-absorbing type, hence requiring no removal in follow-ups. For even more convenience, this outpatient procedure can be completed at our clinic using local anaesthesia.
How Long Does the Procedure Take and When?
Labiaplasty generally takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Of course, this is just an approximate guess, as the actual time will depend on the individual case at hand. During your consultation following your treatment plan, the doctor will give you an approximate number of hours regarding how long it will take.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Some patients who have labiaplasty in the hospital will remain for a few hours to have their vitals monitored, with the goal of being sure that they are recovering well. For the most part, the patients who have local anaesthesia can go home the same day and usually don’t feel too much discomfort. Most women return to normal activities within one or two days.
Post-operative care is required to prevent infection and promote healing. Patients must also avoid the use of public baths, pools, and hot tubs for some time. Strict personal hygiene must also be followed. Sexual intercourse is to be avoided for 4-6 weeks after surgery to allow ample time for the area to heal and the surgical benefits to be long-lasting.
Why Labiaplasty May Be Right for You
Childbirth, aging, and genetics can lead to tears and sagging or other abnormalities of the labia. Labiaplasty offers a simple answer for these conditions: a means for patients to get an appearance close to ideal in less than one hour. Labiaplasty with the Estevitalya Clinic in Antalya is available, effective, and permanent for the enhancement of comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
