Overview
Sensitive, discreet labiaplasty surgery with experienced consultant surgeons
Intimate surgery, including labiaplasty, is a sensitive area for many patients. The reasons for seeking treatment are personal — discomfort during exercise or intercourse, irritation, self-consciousness, or simply a preference to feel more comfortable in your own body.
Labiaplasty is the most common intimate procedure we perform. It refines the shape and size of the labia minora (and where appropriate the labia majora) to relieve physical discomfort and address aesthetic concerns. The procedure is performed by an experienced consultant surgeon under local or general anaesthetic, with refined techniques that preserve sensation and produce a discreet, natural result.
Our consultations are unrushed, private and never judgmental. Every patient receives a clear explanation of the realistic outcome, the recovery, and the alternatives if surgery is not the right choice for them.
