LABIA REDUCTION SURGERY
LABIAPLASTY
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and reduces the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) or labia majora (outer vaginal lips) to address asymmetry, excess tissue, or discomfort caused by elongated or uneven labial anatomy. Whether the concern is physical — discomfort during exercise, sexual activity, or in tight clothing — or aesthetic, labiaplasty offers a precise, effective, and permanent solution. Turkey provides this procedure within a discreet, professional, and internationally accredited environment, with surgeons experienced in female intimate surgery.
Labiaplasty in Turkey is performed by surgeons with specific training in female intimate procedures, using techniques that prioritise both functional improvement and aesthetic sensitivity. Istanbul's clinics manage these cases with complete discretion and comprehensive aftercare, making Turkey a trusted destination for international patients seeking this procedure in a professional and supportive environment.
WHAT IS LABIAPLASTY? Labiaplasty surgically reshapes the labia to reduce excess tissue, correct asymmetry, and create a more comfortable and aesthetically balanced labial anatomy. The most common procedure is labia minora reduction, performed using either the trim technique (excising the outer edge) or the wedge technique (removing a V-shaped section to preserve the natural labial edge). Both techniques produce natural-looking results with well-concealed scars. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1 hour. A period of sexual abstinence of 4–6 weeks is required, and most patients return to daily activities within 5–7 days. Labiaplasty can be performed alongside vaginoplasty or clitoral hood reduction as part of a comprehensive vulvar rejuvenation.
