The SAP Technique Explained
SAP stands for Selective Anatomic Preservation — a tailored surgical approach developed by Dr Kishen Nara that carefully reshapes the labia while preserving the arterial and venous circulation and nerve endings that helps maintain natural form and sensitivity.
This selective anatomic and de-epithelialisation technique reduces unnecessary tissue removal and supports functional outcomes. Common areas treated include the labia minora (inner lips), labia majora (outer lips), and clitoral hood. Each case is assessed individually to ensure harmony with surrounding anatomy as well as functionality. At times, this can be combined with liposuction of the mons pubis or fat grafting of the labia majora with not just fat but the body's own natural stem cells.
Many patients consider labiaplasty for comfort, symmetry, or confidence. Suitability is assessed individually at consultation. The recovery process typically takes 4–6 weeks. Surgery is performed personally by Dr Kishen Nara, with the practice grounded in compassionate patient-centred care and rigorous safety standards. For a breakdown of what a labiaplasty melbourne price includes, see our dedicated pricing guide.
Trim versus wedge: how the standard techniques differ
Beyond the SAP approach Dr Nara bases his practice on, there are two traditional labiaplasty techniques you may read about. Understanding how they differ can help you ask more informed questions at your consultation.
The trim (edge) technique removes tissue directly along the free edge of the labia minora, shortening the length of the inner lip. Because the natural border is trimmed away, the darker or irregular edge some patients wish to reduce is removed with it. It is a widely used method and generally straightforward, though the resulting edge may look and feel different from the original border, and the scar sits along the length of the labia.
The wedge technique removes a V-shaped (wedge) section from the middle of the labia and rejoins the remaining tissue, which preserves the natural edge and its original colour and texture. It is technically more involved, and because it relies on the join healing well, careful case selection and closure matter. It may not suit every anatomy — for example where there is a large amount of tissue to reduce.
Which method is discussed for you depends on your anatomy, the amount and location of tissue involved, and your goals. Dr Nara's SAP (Selective Anatomic Preservation) technique focuses on preserving the deeper blood supply and nerve endings rather than removing a large full-thickness segment. There is no single method that suits everyone, and the only way to know what may be appropriate for you is a confidential consultation where your anatomy and goals are reviewed properly. You can also read about the potential risks of surgery before you decide.
What is labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces or reshapes the labia minora (inner lips of the vulva) or labia majora (outer lips). At RevAesthetic it is usually performed under local (tumescent) anaesthetic with light oral sedation — general anaesthesia is an option for patients who prefer it, where an anaesthetist is involved. Dr Kishen Nara (MBBS, FACCSM(Surg), AHPRA MED0001201549) performs labiaplasty using the SAP (Selective Anatomic Preservation) technique, which aims to preserve the blood supply and nerve endings beneath the skin. A GP referral is required before the initial consultation, and a separate consent appointment is held before any treatment proceeds.
Why choose RevAesthetic
Why choose us for labiaplasty
Five things our patients tell us made the difference when they were choosing where to have labiaplasty in Melbourne, Tasmania or Adelaide.
- 01
Training and qualification transparency
Our team is specifically trained and qualified in cosmetic surgery. Surgical training attained by any respective doctor does not imply that they have training specific to cosmetic surgery. Dr Kishen Nara MBBS(Monash) FACCSM(Surg) General Registration MED0001201549, surgical fellow of Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine, not only trained and qualified specific to aesthetic surgery in Australian private accredited health service establishments but also specific to labiaplasty surgery. This involved learning the psychology of patients who seek labiaplasty in Australia from diverse cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
- 02
Results from trust and experience
Having the skill, training, qualifications and expertise in cosmetic labiaplasty does not necessarily equate to obtaining the results displayed on our labiaplasty before and after gallery. Individual outcomes vary depending on genetic composition, medical conditions and recovery. The description on each before-and-after labiaplasty result clearly displays who the operating doctor was — that transparency is how we build confidence with patients we see for labia reduction or intimate surgery in Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania.
- 03
Personalised care and respect
We provide personalised care for our patients who seek labiaplasty in Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania. Patients travel to our Cooee rooms from across the north-west, and from Hobart and the south when Dr Nara consults at alternate dates. Each patient embarks on their own cosmetic labiaplasty journey. We take time to understand their backgrounds and respective medical conditions in order to tailor labiaplasty treatment for individualised care — not just after surgery but before. The personalised care that occurs at the time of surgery reminds our team that each patient has unique anatomy and diversity, which strengthens our focus on a patient-centred approach.
- 04
Dedication to technique, care and research
Our goal is to minimise the risks of labiaplasty surgery so that patients can make an informed decision with realistic expectations. We follow current research on surgical and non-surgical options for the clitoral hood, labia minora, labia majora and associated structures of the vagina. We generally use the selective anatomic preservation (SAP) labiaplasty technique, though other surgical techniques may be used depending on each patient's anatomy.
- 05
A wider network of labiaplasty expertise
Our consultations, surgery and aftercare draw on a wider network of local and international doctors experienced in labiaplasty. This combined experience generally helps the team manage each patient within realistic expectations. Some patients require additional consultations for their respective labiaplasty presentation; others are seen for revision labiaplasty. Dr Nara trained under Dr Hodgkinson, who was the first author for cosmetic labioplasty internationally — that training informs how we approach each case.
-
01 What is a labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty or labioplasty in Melbourne and Tasmania is a surgical procedure to reshape the female genitalia with a specific focus on the smaller inner lip or the labia minora. Specifically, the area and size of the labia minora are reduced. Complications and risks of surgery are discussed at your consult as you must understand the implications of any surgery. Please risks of surgery. Labiaplasty may also involve changes to the mons pubis or labia majora (the outer lip) depending on your request. Labiaplasty does not involve direct surgical alteration to the mons pubis region as this is regarded as an independent or separate area. Some may also refer labiaplasty to vagina surgery or labia reduction surgery. -
02 How does it occur?
Thickening and excess skin of the labia is not uncommon. It may occur simply from a young age or congenital. During puberty, hormonal changes occur and affect the thickness of tissues of the labia. Childbirth at times may cause immense pressure on the perineal region and this also puts ongoing pressure on the labia causing it to thicken over time. Excess tissue on the labia may occur with any individual regardless of activity, age, race, occupation, childbearing status or general health. There are many other causes not listed here but generally, they are benign causes and treatable with surgery. Non-surgical and surgical treatment options are available and these can be discussed with you in detail during your consultation. -
03 Why labiaplasty?
Dr Nara performs intimate vaginal surgery or labiaplasty (mainly inner lip vagina surgery) in patients who have realistic expectations and feel that their excessive labia tissue is affecting their lifestyle. The aspects of lifestyle involve:- Wearing fitting clothing
- Sporting activities — running, cycling, or simply unable to go to group activities because of the inability to wear fitted sporting clothing
- Sexual experiences
- General confidence
-
04 How is labiaplasty surgery performed?
Labiaplasty is usually performed under local (tumescent) anaesthetic with light oral sedation. A general anaesthetic is also an option for patients who prefer it, where an anaesthetist is involved. Dr Nara discusses which approach suits you at consultation, depending on the SAP technique planned and what you are comfortable with. Only when you are comfortable, the operation begins with antiseptic solution applied gently on the surface of the skin. You will be given antibiotics through the drip in your arm in order to reduce the risk of infection. A very thin layer of skin is carefully removed with advanced surgical technique and instruments and any risk of bleeding is therefore reduced. The majority of the important structures beneath the skin such as the deep tissue layers, blood vessels and especially nerves are aimed to be preserved. Sometimes smaller nerves that escape to the level of the skin cannot be seen are released since the excess skin would need to be removed. This is different from the traditional wedge resection techniques where a big segment of tissue is removed including skin, underlying soft tissue structure, vessels and nerves. Modern techniques, which Dr Nara bases his surgical practice on, aim to respectfully preserve these deeper structures as much as possible. This, in turn, helps to reduce but not eliminate the risks of surgery. Please risks of surgery. When the tailored amount of tissue is removed then specialised stitches are carefully used so that the wound heals. The technique not only assists with reducing discomfort but also supports a considered cosmetic result. Sterile ointments are applied followed by thin dressings. Dr Nara will explain the technique used in further detail during your consult. -
05 Is it painful?
All surgery has some degree of discomfort. It also depends on how much tissue is removed as well as the design that is involved in your labiaplasty. But do not worry as this will be discussed in detail at your consultation with Dr Nara. To understand about the risks of surgery. We want to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible by using various techniques to maximise comfort. -
06 How about after surgery?
After surgery we will ensure that you are stable to return home by making a clinical assessment and to ensure you are comfortable. Supervision by a responsible person for the first 24 hours is mandatory. You should not drive for the first 24 hours. Light exercises can be resumed 3–4 weeks after surgery (this varies depending on individual circumstances such as medical conditions, genetics and capacity to heal). Usual exercises can be resumed at 6 weeks (this varies depending on individual circumstances such as medical conditions, genetics and capacity to heal). Depending on the work you do, Dr Nara would prefer you to take time off work for at least 1 week and to resume light duties for the week after (some patients may require more time off work depending on the outcome of surgery and individual circumstances). -
07 When can I return to intimacy?
Usually, this will take about 4–6 weeks depending on the healing process and your recovery. -
08 Does it help with confidence?
Confidence after cosmetic surgery is always subjective. Choosing a surgical team that you trust, operating in accredited and licensed facilities, is one of the more important decisions. Dr Nara leads the team to respect patients, ensure their privacy and comfort, and provide considered care during labia or vagina surgery. -
09 Should I wash with water or soap?
Some of Dr Nara's patients ask whether they should maintain hygiene after surgery by washing with either soap water or plain water. It is best to listen to the specific instructions provided and refrain from soap water as this may cause irritation and potentially increased pain following labiaplasty or hymenoplasty. -
10 What if I am on my period?
It is not uncommon for patients who have their period at the time of labiaplasty. However, if you are uncomfortable you must inform the treating team at RevAesthetic. The details will be discussed during your preparation before surgery. -
11 Can I use a tampon after labiaplasty?
Once the surgical wounds have completely healed with an assessment from the team at RevAesthetic then you may resume using tampons. Until then it is advised to refrain from using tampons. The details will be explained to you at your consultation with Dr Nara. -
12 What is the cost of labiaplasty?
For a detailed breakdown of the labiaplasty cost in Melbourne and what it covers, see our pricing guide. All patients seeking cosmetic labiaplasty or labioplasty surgery must have a specialist general practitioner referral. Some patients who seek labiaplasty or vagina surgery may have symptoms that may or may not improve with surgery. There are significant variations of anatomy or the structure of the labia minora, labia majora and clitoral hood from person to person. Therefore, all labiaplasty or labioplasty surgery performed by Dr Nara at RevAesthetic is individualised. No patient is the same. As such, without having a thorough confidential and respectful consultation with Dr Nara, it would be difficult to predict how much it is for your labiaplasty or labioplasty surgery. Please note, the cost of this will vary depending on the complexity of the labiaplasty surgery as well as any additional cosmetic treatments required such as fat grafting to the labia. This will incur additional fees that will involve additional surgical fees, theatre fees, anaesthetic fees and follow-ups. Dr Nara is a cosmetic doctor — private health insurance and Medicare rebates do not apply. -
13 Why would someone get a labiaplasty?
All women are entitled to the decisions that make for their body. Some may feel that they have discomfort of the labia while wearing clothes, during sport or intimacy. Some may consider other options prior to surgery. This may or may not improve their symptoms. No labia is the same as there are significant variations of anatomy from one person to another. -
14 What training does Dr Nara and the team have to perform labiaplasty?
Dr Nara received formal surgical training from the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine with an emphasis in cosmetic surgery. Some rotations were specific to labiaplasty which covers surgery involving different areas of the female genitalia. All patients are assessed based on the principles of patient safety, psychology and care surrounding the recovery following labiaplasty. Dr Nara received formal training from Dr Darryl Hodgkinson who published the first article of cosmetic labiaplasty. He also furthered his studies and training in labiaplasty under Dr Georgina Konrat who has a focus in primary labiaplasty and revision labiaplasty. His formal training in labiaplasty has helped him to understand each patient better whilst informing them carefully about the potential risks of surgery. As labiaplasty surgery is not without risks and requires careful attention to detail, this led him to have training specific to labiaplasty. This helps patients understand the risks of surgery whilst taking the appropriate steps to minimise them at best possible. Our medical team understands that labiaplasty is important and personal surgery. Patients are counselled thoroughly prior to any surgery. Some patients feel they may not be suitable and there is always time to consider what is right for you. Our team respects all patients regardless of whether they choose to have surgery or not. -
15 How will the skin feel after labiaplasty?
All patients have varying degrees of experiences and sensation of the skin following labiaplasty. Hypersensitivity following labiaplasty is not uncommon and may last for some weeks. In rare instances, this may last for several months. In the majority of cases this is self limiting. Our team is here to provide good after care treatment to assist with hypersensitivity of the skin. -
16 Can I wear normal clothing after labiaplasty?
After labia reduction skin surgery when performed by Dr Nara, depending on the type of surgery you decided on, the recovery after surgery instructions may differ. Some patients may find it easier to resume their usual clothing whilst some others may take longer to resume their usual clothing due to any reason. Some of these reasons may include, but not limited to, hypersensitivity of the skin, discomfort or numbness. Please learn more about the risks of surgery. -
17 Is the labiaplasty procedure straightforward?
It is a myth of labiaplasty procedure being straightforward. No labiaplasty surgery is the same. We appreciate the significant diversity of anatomy and symptoms that each patient has. Dr Nara will discuss this with you at your consultation to help you understand your options better. You always have time to consider what is right for you. -
18 What are the common types of labiaplasty or labia reduction surgery?
Through his formal training in labia operation surgery, Dr Nara understands there are various methods to perform labiaplasty. Historically, there were various skilled surgical methods to reduce the amount of skin of the labia minora (more commonly in the "inner lips" of the vagina). Labia majora reduction surgery was also performed. This primarily constituted labia trimming surgery and some may also refer this to labia wedge resection method surgery. This reduced the overall soft tissue area and depth. Some patients prefer this and others prefer other methods. There are other surgical methods for minor labia surgery or labia minora surgery. This represents selective removal of the superficial skin whilst preserving the deeper soft tissue structures. If the amount of labia tissue is regarded by the patient as "long labia" or "large labia" then this method may not be suitable. There are many different surgical techniques for labiaplasty surgery and this is why we recommend having a consultation about labiaplasty. -
19 Are there different stages of recovery following surgery?
Yes, after labiaplasty surgery, our team has a focus on the specific stages of recovery following tailored labiaplasty surgery. This depends on the surgery itself as there are variability of the expected stages of recovery and the work-life balance has to be taken into consideration. Slow and steady steps helps with any recovery. -
20 What is the recovery time after labiaplasty?
At RevAesthetic Melbourne and Tasmania including Hobart, the recovery phase is tailored to the individual. Typically, all patients are required to rest for 2 weeks following surgery. It may be less or more for some patients depending on what was planned for at the time of surgery. If there are combined procedures such as with liposuction of the inner thighs or platelet rich plasma placed into the tissues of the intimate labia you could expect the recovery to take longer. Returning to work usually depends on the quality of the immediate recovery phase following surgery. -
21 Does Medicare cover the cost of labiaplasty in Australia?
In accordance with Medical Board of Australia guidelines, elective cosmetic surgery including labiaplasty is not covered by Medicare. The cost of labiaplasty is an out of pocket expense covered by the patient. Patients should do their due diligence with regards to financial options available. -
22 Is intimate surgery and labiaplasty the same?
Yes, intimate female surgery more commonly relates to labiaplasty which involves the alteration of the shape and form of the outer soft tissue components of the vagina usually the labia minora. At times, intimate surgery may also relate to other areas such as with the clitoral hood and labia majora. In other instances, this may also relate to hymen reconstruction, hymenoplasty or hymen repair. -

28 What is the cost of labiaplasty in Australia?
Although cost is an important consideration for intimate labiaplasty surgery, there are many other essential factors to take into focus. Is your doctor trained in cosmetic surgery? Does the consultation put your priorities first? Are they experienced and have the right team to manage you? What are their before and after images like and did the doctor perform the surgery specific to those images displayed? Is surgery performed locally such as in Melbourne for labiaplasty or is this performed overseas? If performed overseas how do you ensure they are trusted, experienced and accredited in labiaplasty surgery? Are they performing surgery in accredited facilities experienced in cosmetic surgery? Does patient care for labiaplasty align with the standards and guidelines of Australia? The cost of labiaplasty or labia reduction surgery in Melbourne, Australia ranges from $3,800 to $18,000. This is an estimate which includes the theatre, anaesthetic and surgical fees.
