LABIAPLASTY SURGERY IN A MELBOURNE CLINIC

The Labiaplasty procedure, also known as labioplasty, this procedure is more recently classified as part of female genital cosmetic surgery.

Each woman is different anatomically. As access to images of women’s genitalia becomes easier, many women wonder if they are normal. Unfortunately, because many of the images these normal women see have been altered using imaging software, this can create an unrealistic expectation of what normal anatomy looks like. 

In Australia, the number of labiaplasty operations has recently decreased to about 1200 operations a year (these are just the operations that attract a Medicare rebate, meaning they have been classified as ‘medically necessary’).

Although there has been a lot of controversy surrounding this kind of surgery, there are women out there suffering from real problems, many of them have not felt comfortable enough to seek help. 

For some women, their labia can be a problem with sports such as bike riding or horse riding. For others, they can be uncomfortable wearing tight-fitted clothing. More often than not, women feel self-conscious about their large labia and find this can interfere with intimate relationships or with intercourse.

More than simply speaking to you about the labiaplasty procedure and offering possible solutions, Dr David aims to offer an embarrassment-free experience that will encourage women to openly talk about their concerns. From discussing the labiaplasty surgery itself, to related procedures for our most private of areas, including vaginal tightening, with the latest laser technologies, the aim at this clinic is to ensure you are comfortable at all times. 

Labiaplasty is a medical procedure that reduces unwanted tissue around the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips). In all these cases, the labia minora or labia majora cause symptoms that can include pain, discomfort or embarrassment. 

It can be performed in clinic, under local anaesthetic, or under a general anaesthetic in a licensed operating theatre. 

Most women can return to work within a week. Sexual activity can usually resume after 3-4 weeks if healing is as expected.
