Labiaplasty in Guernsey & Jersey
There are many reasons why surgery is considered, including developmental asymmetry or oversized labia, or occur after pregnancy, with variation in shape, colour and size. Discomfort in the labia can be caused by a number of factors, whether certain clothes or underwear rub, certain sports and activities, especially cycling and horse riding. The labia can also undergo changes during and after childbirth, as they tend to become larger. The further the labia protrude, the more inclined it is to darken and becoming coarse. This can create problems and pain during intercourse.
A labiaplasty is most commonly performed under local anaesthetic (whilst you are awake). By combining numbing anaesthetic cream, followed by carefully placed injections, the whole area is frozen, to allow the surgery to be performed in a pain-free way. You are able to go home after the procedure and we would always advise you to be accompanied so you can be taken home by a relative or friend, as you should not walk too much straight after the procedure.
The benefits of labiaplasty surgery are both functional and aesthetic. Patients report reduced discomfort and chaffing, and also report a much higher body image score, with improved self-esteem and body confidence.
