Labiaplasty Surgery Turkey

Navigating Labiaplasty: Empowerment Through Personal Choice at formedi clinic, Antalya

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips) and/or the labia majora (the outer vaginal lips). Many women choose this procedure to alleviate discomfort caused by enlarged labia, which can interfere with daily activities, exercise, or sexual intercourse. Others may seek labiaplasty for aesthetic reasons, desiring a certain appearance or symmetry.

How Does the Labiaplasty Surgery Work?

Labiaplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the complexity of the surgery. The procedure involves the careful removal of excess tissue from the labia to achieve the desired shape and size. The goal is to maintain the natural contour and sensitivity of the labia while addressing the patient's concerns.
