Is it recommended for me?

This is suitable for women who complaints about the decrease of sexual pleasure due to excessive weight loss and other genetic conditions because it aims to restore the malformation of the labia minora.

For the labia majora plasty, it aims to reduce the look and size of the exterior lips of the vagina. This is done through the removal of the excess fat to tighten the skin. Some possible causes of the excessive size of the labia majora are the genetic predisposition, aging, multiple births, and large-scale loss of weight.

Labiaplasty is just performed if the woman wants to enhance the look of her labia, and not to enhance the sexual pleasure she feels during intercourse.

There are cases where a patient also feels a discomfort or minimal pain during sexual intercourse after the surgery. The patient needs to wear a panty girdle during the first 10 days after the surgery to prevent the vaginal swelling.
