Many women are dissatisfied with the appearance of their intimate area. The labia minora are empty and flaccid, the labia minora hang outwards when standing and the clitoris is covered by excess skin. This can lead to functional impairments, resulting in irritating pain during cycling, sex and sport, among other things. Regardless of whether it is a case of congenital labia enlargement or asymmetry of the labia or whether unwanted changes have occurred due to childbirth and/or tissue sagging with age, intimate surgery is one of the most common requests from our patients.
The reduction and tightening of the labia minora (labiaplasty, labia reduction) is a technically simple procedure with almost invariably good results. Depending on the findings, we have various surgical techniques at our disposal, based on the techniques of Dr Ellsworth (Plastic Surgery Houston, Texa, USA) and the many years of personal experience of our medical team.
We offer you the platform to discuss your problem discreetly from woman to woman and to find a solution together.
For further information, please see the bottom of the page. This is where the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures are presented and the risks and side effects are explained. However, this cannot replace a personal consultation (also via video), in which these aspects are explained and adapted individually. We therefore look forward to a personal consultation with you!
