Understanding labiaplasty
Jan 23, 2024

Years of research and thought about labiaplasty?

Some women considering labioplasty or labiaplasty go through years of thought prior to considering a consultation.  This involves going through various issues involving psychological, emotional, cultural, religious, medical and social.  It can be very intense!  A rollercoaster journey perhaps?


Some patients attend the consultation feeling embarrassed or ashamed thinking they are the only ones considering labiaplasty.  This may be because of various historical, cultural or even religious pressures.


Why do some women consider labioplasty?  Some may experience symptoms pertaining to the excess skin of the labia presenting as discomfort whilst sitting or especially wearing clothing.  Others may experience a dissatisfaction of the appearance of the labia.



It must be understood that surgery does not fix everything and only some goals may be able to be achieved.  This is why a safe, proven and thorough consultation with Dr Nara is pertinent to address your goals and discuss the various options available to you.  This may involve surgery where the technique, risks, and potential complications are discussed.


A fraction of the concerns or worries of some patients considering labiaplasty are as follows:-

- I am not ready.

- Is the Doctor I am seeing trained and qualified specific to cosmetic surgery and more importantly specific to labiaplasty?

- Am I in safe hands?

- Does the surgeon have my best interest at heart.

- Will the surgeon do my surgery properly?

- Will they just rush through surgery?

- Do I even need surgery?

- Am I doing this for myself?

- What will my mother think?

- What will my sister think?

- What will my friends think?

- What will my boyfriend think?

- What will my husband think?

- How will I discuss this with my family and friends?

- I need to look into other ways to help the labia.

- Are there actually other ways to address the issues of the labia?

- How do I address the excess skin of my labia?

- How do I reduce the excess skin of my labia?

- Will surgery be painful?

- Do I need surgery?

- Do I not need surgery?

- Do I need a general practitioner referral for the consultation.

- I am exhausted thinking of my labia.

- I have no one to talk to about the issues I potentially have about the labia.

- Are they actually issues or should I just live with it?

- What is normal?

- What do I want for my labia?

- I do not know what I actually want for my labia.

- What are the best options for my labia?

- Does the best labiaplasty exist?

- Should I just leave it?

- Is labiaplasty or labioplasty also known as designer vagina surgery?  Are they the same?

- I am so nervous.

- Will I be in good hands?

- What are the risks of surgery?

- Is surgery without risks?



Many unanswered questions.  Many worries.  The above represent a fraction of what patients think when considering labiaplasty.  It is essential to understand that the most important element of this is the consultation for labioplasty.
