It addresses aesthetic or functional concerns (such as discomfort during physical or sexual activity), or may be performed for reconstructive purposes after childbirth, trauma, or simply for personal reasons.
Nymphoplasty, or labiaplasty, is an intimate surgical procedure that primarily reduces or reshapes the inner labia. It can be combined with procedures on the outer labia (reduction or augmentation via lipofilling) to harmonize the appearance of the vulva and improve comfort.
Motivations vary from patient to patient. Some seek to correct a natural asymmetry or reduce excess tissue that causes discomfort. Others consider the procedure for reconstructive purposes following childbirth, trauma, or medical treatment.
A preliminary consultation is scheduled to discuss your goals, assess medical needs, and answer your questions. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on your preference and your surgeon’s recommendation. During the surgery, the targeted structures are reshaped for a natural and harmonious result. Incisions are discreet, and sutures are absorbable.
Thanks to anesthesia, discomfort is minimal during the procedure. Afterward, patients may experience mild tension or discomfort, which can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication.
Temporary swelling, redness, or increased sensitivity in the treated area are common. These symptoms usually resolve within one to two weeks. Your surgeon remains available to support you throughout the recovery process.
Initial recovery typically lasts 3 to 5 days, after which you may resume light activities. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, tight clothing, and sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.
Maintain strict hygiene in the treated area using gentle products recommended by your surgeon. Wear loose, breathable underwear to prevent irritation, and apply prescribed healing creams to support tissue regeneration.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort, pulling sensations, or tingling. These symptoms are temporary and can be relieved with prescribed painkillers.
Initial results become visible as swelling subsides, typically 2 to 4 weeks after surgery. Final results, natural and harmonious, generally appear within 3 to 6 months, once full healing is achieved.
Incisions are made in strategic, discreet areas and closed with absorbable sutures, making scars virtually invisible over time.
Yes, follow-up consultations are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure satisfaction with the results. Your surgeon is available to answer questions or adjust care as needed.
Nymphoplasty is contraindicated in cases of active infections in the genital area, bleeding disorders, or pregnancy. A thorough preoperative medical assessment is essential to ensure your safety.
It is strongly advised to stop smoking before and after surgery, as tobacco can slow the healing process. Carefully follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions to ensure optimal results.
Like any surgery, nymphoplasty carries risks, although they are rare. These include infection, bleeding, or abnormal scarring. These risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified surgeon and adhering to postoperative guidelines.
