Labiaplasty Antalya

Labiaplasty Antalya

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed on the inner labia (labia minora) and is part of the Barbie vagina procedures.

It can be done for functional or aesthetic reasons. In some cases, sagging, dark-colored, and enlarged inner labia may cause discomfort or pain when wearing underwear or clothing, or they may be a source of dissatisfaction for the patient. For this reason, patients may seek labiaplasty to reduce the size of the inner labia.

In some cases, patients may opt for labiaplasty due to congenital asymmetry of the inner labia.

Labiaplasty in Antalya

Labiaplasty is a genital aesthetic procedure that involves reshaping or reducing the size of the inner labia (labia minora). At our Antalya labiaplasty clinic, this surgical procedure is chosen for aesthetic concerns, functional discomforts, or psychological reasons, aiming to enhance women's quality of life.

What is the Purpose of Labiaplasty Surgery?

The main goal of labiaplasty is to reduce and symmetrically reshape sagging, dark-colored, and enlarged inner labia so that they do not protrude between the outer labia.

Who is a Candidate for Labiaplasty Surgery?

Patients from different age groups can be candidates for labiaplasty. Some young patients seek the procedure due to congenital sagging, enlargement, or asymmetry of the inner labia. In other cases, sagging and discoloration may occur after childbirth.

In general, candidates for labiaplasty surgery can be summarized as follows:

  • Women over the age of 18
  • Those in generally good health
  • Women with tears in the inner labia after childbirth
  • Those who experience discomfort due to labial tension during exercise, sexual intercourse, or even while sitting
  • Women who are dissatisfied with the shape or size of their inner labia

How is Labiaplasty Performed?

There are various surgical techniques for labiaplasty, which can generally be categorized into two main methods:

  • Trimming: Depending on the need, an incision is made along the outer edge of one or both inner labia, and excess tissue is removed.
  • Wedge Resection: A wedge-shaped section of tissue is removed from the broadest part of the inner labia, completing the procedure.

Can Other Procedures Be Performed Along with Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty can be combined with all Barbie vagina aesthetic procedures in the same session. The most commonly performed procedure alongside labiaplasty is clitoral hood reduction, which involves removing excess tissue over the clitoris. Additionally, other aesthetic procedures such as breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, liposuction, and rhinoplasty can also be performed in the same session.

Is Anesthesia Required for Labiaplasty Surgery?

Labiaplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia. To enhance comfort during local anesthesia, sedation can also be administered simultaneously.

How Long Does Labiaplasty Take at Our Antalya Clinic?

At our Antalya clinic, labiaplasty surgery typically takes 30 to 50 minutes. If additional Barbie vagina aesthetic procedures are performed alongside, the duration may be longer.

Is It Necessary to Remove Stitches After Labiaplasty?

No, stitches do not need to be removed after labiaplasty because dissolvable sutures are used.

How Long Should I Rest and Stay in Turkey After Labiaplasty?

The recovery period varies from person to person. However, 5 to 7 days is generally sufficient for most patients. If patients dedicate this period to full rest, healing tends to be better, and the likelihood of experiencing pain and other complications decreases.

Is Hospitalization Necessary for Labiaplasty Surgery?

Labiaplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure in a clinical setting. However, for international patients traveling alone, the surgery can be scheduled in a hospital, allowing them to stay overnight before transitioning to their hotel for increased comfort.

Post-Operative Care After Labiaplasty

  • During the first few days, absolute bed rest helps reduce bleeding, bruising, and swelling.
  • Applying ice packs to the surgical site immediately after the procedure and continuing for the first week can minimize pain, bleeding, bruising, and swelling.
  • To keep the wound clean and dry, it is recommended to wash the area with a front-to-back motion using a handheld shower after using the toilet.
  • If prescribed by the doctor, painkillers and antibiotics should be taken regularly.

For the first 6 weeks, patients should avoid:

  • Swimming or bathing in a tub
  • Exercising or lifting heavy objects
  • Squatting
  • Sexual intercourse
  • Waxing or hair removal treatments

How Many Days After Labiaplasty Can I Fly?

Patients traveling from other cities or countries can usually take a flight back within 5 to 7 days after labiaplasty, provided there are no complications.

How Many Days After Labiaplasty Can I Return to Work?

Depending on the nature of the job, most patients can return to work approximately 5 to 7 days after labiaplasty.

How Are Post-Operative Check-Ups Conducted After Labiaplasty?

  • The first post-operative check-up is performed at our clinic within 5 to 7 days after surgery.
  • A second check-up is scheduled at 6 weeks.
  • For out-of-town or international patients, follow-up consultations can be arranged online.

How Long Does It Take to Fully Heal After Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty typically heals within 6 weeks. By the end of this period, the sutures dissolve naturally, although some swelling and sensitivity may persist.

How Do We Organize Labiaplasty for International or Out-of-Town Patients?

  • We usually conduct the initial consultation online, allowing patients to ask all their questions directly to the surgeon.
  • Once patients decide to proceed with the surgery, they plan their travel, and we confirm their appointment schedule.
  • Upon request, we provide VIP transfer services upon arrival in Antalya, ensuring a smooth transfer to their hotel.
  • We also offer transportation between the clinic, hospital, and hotel throughout their stay, if desired.
  • Before leaving Antalya, patients undergo their final check-up at our clinic. If everything is in order, they are cleared for departure.
  • After leaving Antalya, we continue online follow-ups and offer 24/7 support via WhatsApp if needed.
