What is Labioplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) to address functional discomfort or aesthetic concerns. Many patients seek labiaplasty to relieve irritation during exercise, discomfort with tight clothing, or self-consciousness. MedProper performs this procedure in a JCI and TEMOS-accredited Istanbul hospital with specialist gynaecological plastic surgeons who prioritise natural, symmetrical results.
How Does Labioplasty Work?
- 1A confidential consultation allows you to discuss your concerns and goals. Your surgeon examines the labial anatomy and recommends the best technique.
- 2Under general or local anaesthesia with sedation, the surgeon carefully trims or reshapes the excess labial tissue using either the trim or wedge technique.
- 3The trim technique removes tissue along the outer edge, while the wedge technique removes a V-shaped section to preserve the natural border.
- 4Fine dissolvable sutures are used to close the incision lines, minimising scarring and preserving sensation.
- 5A cold compress is applied and post-operative care instructions are provided for optimal healing.
Who is a Good Candidate for Labioplasty?
- Women experiencing physical discomfort from enlarged or asymmetrical labia during exercise, cycling, or daily activities
- Those who feel self-conscious about labial appearance in tight clothing or intimate situations
- Patients with labial irritation, chafing, or recurrent infections related to excess tissue
- Adults who have experienced changes after childbirth, hormonal fluctuation, or ageing
- Women in good general health with realistic expectations about the outcome

Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure itself is painless under anaesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and well managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses for the first few days.
No. Modern surgical techniques are designed to preserve nerve pathways. Sensation returns fully as the tissue heals, and many patients report improved comfort.
Most surgeons advise waiting at least six weeks after surgery to allow complete tissue healing before resuming sexual activity.
Both techniques produce excellent results. The trim method is more common and straightforward; the wedge method preserves the natural labial edge. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your anatomy.
Once fully healed, the results look completely natural. Scars from labiaplasty are virtually invisible along the natural tissue folds.
