What is the procedure for labial reduction surgery?
Labial reduction surgery is performed under local anesthesia. First, the labia are cleaned. The surgeon then determines how much tissue will be removed and marks the area accordingly. Next, you will be anesthetized with two small injections into the labia, ensuring you will not feel anything during the procedure.
Once the anesthetic has taken full effect, the excess tissue is removed and the blood vessels are sealed. The final step of the procedure involves inserting dissolvable sutures. These sutures close the labia, so there is no need for a follow-up visit to have them removed.
Step-by-step plan for a labial reduction surgery
Before the consultation, you will have a call with a medical assistant to discuss the treatment. She will determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure and help you schedule an online consultation with your cosmetic surgeon. During this obligation-free consultation, you will learn about the procedure in detail. The surgeon will also discuss your expectations and assess whether they are realistic. The appointment will always be scheduled with one of our surgeons.

After the surgery, you may experience some pain due to swelling of the inner labia. In more extreme cases, there may be bruising. The area will be sensitive, but usually, a painkiller will suffice to manage the discomfort. For the first three days after surgery, the area should be kept cool. During the first week, rinse the area twice a day with water—do not use soap. Gently pat dry and avoid rubbing.

Results of labia surgery
The results of inner labia reduction surgery or labiaplasty are different for each person and depend on post-operative recovery and how well the aftercare has been followed. The main result is that the excess skin of the inner labia will have been removed, which means you will experience less pain and irritation. After six to ten weeks, all the swelling will have gone down and the final result will be visible.
It is possible that the labia are somewhat asymmetrical or show differences after treatment. This is normal. Ultimately the inner and outer labia will be more proportional. Most women experience the results of the treatment as a great relief. This surgery not only relieves the physical pain and irritation of the labia, women also feel more confident and can continue with their daily activities worry-free.
Follow-up care for labial reduction surgery
We recommend that you take it easy during the first week after the operation. After the first week you can resume light tasks. For jobs that involve more strenuous activities, we recommend waiting two weeks. You are not allowed to perform any heavy physical activity – such as biking, swimming or working out – for four weeks after treatment. You may experience some pain from swelling of the inner labia.
In the most extreme cases there may be bruising. The area will be sensitive, but usually a painkiller is enough to deal with the discomfort. The area must be kept cool for the first three days after surgery. During the first week you have to rinse the area twice a day with water – but do not use soap. Pat dry, but do not rub!

Frequently Asked Questions about labia reduction surgery
Our surgery treatments are only available for clients from the United Kingdom.
During a labia correction of the inner labia, excess labia tissue is removed to reduce the size of the labia. The outer labia are not reduced in a labia correction. The inner labia (labia minora) are removed in such a way that their function is fully preserved. Reducing the labia is done under local anaesthetic. A referral from the general practitioner or gynaecologist is not necessary, you can simply contact Faceland to be helped.
Labial reduction surgery reduces the inner labia by removing excess tissue.
Our experienced surgeons noted that our female clients were sometimes thinking about labia reduction surgery. We heard you! Faceland carries out this outpatient procedure under local anaesthetic. Pain and discomfort during cycling or exercise or as a result of friction can easily be remedied with a simple operation. You no longer need a referral from your GP to a gynaecologist or hospital. One of our female surgeons can help you immediately.
Complications can occur after any treatment or operation. The practitioner will discuss these with you during the consultation. In this case, possible complications are infection, post-operative bleeding, swelling (resulting from fluid from the wound, which disappears on its own in time) and bruises (which clear up on their own in time).
Immediately after the procedure, the region may be swollen and blue. This will subside over the weeks. The end result is different for everyone. What you can expect from the operation will be made clear by the doctor. Full recovery takes 6 weeks. Scars will not completely disappear, but will be less visible and feel smoother.
