Labiaplasty

Your personal introduction to the plastic surgeon

The first consultation focuses on your personal introduction to the plastic surgeon. In an open and confidential atmosphere, you discuss your complaints, wishes and expectations regarding the labiaplasty. The surgeon listens carefully to your story and takes the time to thoroughly analyse your situation.

Tailored information

The surgeon will give you detailed information about the various options for a labiaplasty, tailored to your individual situation and wishes. It will be carefully determined how much tissue can safely be removed, taking into account the important function of the labia. You will receive a realistic picture of the expected result and the entire treatment trajectory will be discussed, including the preparation, the procedure itself, aftercare and the recovery process.

The goal of a labiaplasty

The goal of a labiaplasty is to reduce oversized labia, thereby improving both comfort and appearance. During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss which technique is most suitable for your situation and what you can realistically expect from the result. If you wish, you can be treated by our female plastic surgeon.

Advantages and disadvantages, risks and complications

During the consultation, the advantages and disadvantages of a labiaplasty will also be discussed, as well as the possible risks and complications. The surgeon will be open and honest about potential side effects and advise you on how to minimise them.

Your questions are central

Of course, there will be ample opportunity during the consultation to ask all your questions about the labiaplasty. The surgeon will answer these questions in detail and in clear language, so you get a good picture of what to expect.

A well-considered decision

We believe it is important that after the consultation you can make a well-considered decision about the labiaplasty. Therefore, we pay considerable attention to informing you about the possibilities, risks and expectations. Your wishes and satisfaction with the result are our priority.

Consultation fee

A consultation fee of €100 applies. This fee will be deducted from the final price of the treatment, should you decide to have the labiaplasty performed at Blooming Plastische Chirurgie.

Anaesthesia and duration

A labiaplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia and takes an average of 30 to 60 minutes. If desired, the procedure can also be performed under general anaesthesia. Prior to the procedure, the plastic surgeon will give you an accurate estimate of the expected duration.

Preparation and marking

Before the procedure begins, the plastic surgeon carefully marks which part of the labia will be removed. This is typically the part that protrudes when you are standing. This precise marking ensures accurate execution and as symmetrical an end result as possible.

The procedure

The excess skin tissue is removed with a small scalpel. The blood vessels are then cauterised to prevent bleeding and the wound is sutured with dissolvable stitches that will dissolve on their own over time. After the procedure, the wound is covered with a sanitary pad and a sterile gauze to promote the healing process.

After the procedure

After the labiaplasty, you can go home the same day. You are not permitted to drive yourself after the procedure. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions so that you go home well prepared.

Immediately after the procedure

After the labiaplasty, you can go home the same day. Arrange for assistance with transport, as you are not permitted to drive yourself. Immediately after the treatment, the labia may be red and swollen. This is normal and typically subsides within the first week.

Swelling and pain

After the procedure, sitting and walking may be temporarily uncomfortable due to the swelling. For pain, you may take paracetamol. Cool the treated area if necessary with a cold pack. To ease the pain when urinating, you can let lukewarm water run along the treated area.

Scars

The scars are located in as inconspicuous a position as possible and are barely visible after full recovery. For the first six weeks, the scars are still red and swollen, after which this gradually fades. The full healing process takes one to one and a half years. We advise you to protect the scars from the sun and to care for them with a good scar cream.

Smoking and alcohol

To promote wound healing and reduce the risk of complications, we advise you not to smoke for six weeks before and six weeks after the procedure. We also recommend not consuming alcohol from one week before to one week after the procedure.

Tailored aftercare

We advise you not to have sexual intercourse, cycle, exercise intensively or wear tight trousers for the first six weeks after the labiaplasty. Throughout the recovery process, we will guide you intensively and provide tailored aftercare to ensure that you can fully enjoy the results of your labiaplasty.

General risks

As with any surgical procedure, a labiaplasty also carries risks and possible complications. Although these risks are small, it is important to be aware of them. General risks associated with a labiaplasty include post-operative bleeding, infections, swelling and allergic reactions to the anaesthesia.

Specific complications

In addition to the general risks, there are also some specific complications that can occur in exceptional cases, such as a subcutaneous haematoma, temporary or permanent changes in sensation of the labia, visible or thickened scars and in very rare cases damage to underlying structures. The plastic surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during the consultation.

Detailed information during the consultation

During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss all risks and possible complications with you in detail. You will receive information about the likelihood of complications, how they can be prevented and how they can be treated should they occur.

Your safety comes first

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, your safety is our priority. Our experienced plastic surgeons take all possible precautions to minimise risks and prevent complications. Should a complication unexpectedly occur, you can count on professional and adequate care.

Transparency about costs

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, we understand that cost is an important factor in your decision to undergo a labiaplasty. We therefore strive for transparency and offer the treatment at a fair price, with quality and care always at the forefront.

Starting price and factors that influence the price

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, the cost of a labiaplasty starts from €2,000. This amount is a guideline and covers the basic costs of the treatment, including consultations, anaesthesia and aftercare procedures.

The final price of your labiaplasty may vary, depending on various factors, such as:

• The chosen anaesthesia: A labiaplasty under general anaesthesia incurs higher costs than a procedure under local anaesthesia.

• The complexity of the procedure: A correction of both the inner and outer labia differs in price from a correction of the inner labia only.

• Additional procedures: If you combine the labiaplasty with another treatment, the total costs will be adjusted accordingly.

Personal price estimate

During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss your wishes and expectations and draw up a personalised treatment plan. Based on this treatment plan, you will receive a detailed price estimate, so you know exactly what to expect.
