Nymphoplasty or labiaplasty: volume reduction of the labia minora

Nymphoplasty, also known as labiaplasty, is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the labia minora when they are too large or asymmetrical. The labia minora can sometimes protrude beyond the labia majora, causing physical or psychological discomfort.

This hypertrophy of the labia minora can be due to several causes:

• Genetic factors: Some women are born with naturally larger labia minora
• Aging: With age, skin loses its elasticity
• Hormonal changes: especially after pregnancy or menopause

Protruding labia minora are not just an aesthetic problem. It can also cause physical discomfort. Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider nymphoplasty:

• Discomfort during physical activity: Walking, cycling or wearing tight clothing can be uncomfortable.
• Pain during intercourse: Excess skin can cause painful friction
• Hygiene problems: Perspiration and friction can cause irritation.
• Aesthetic complexes: You may feel uneasy about the appearance of your private area.

The intervention takes place in three main stages:

1. Preliminary consultation: During this first meeting, I listen to your expectations and answer all your questions. This step is essential to reassure you and make you feel confident.
2. The procedure: Nymphoplasty is performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on your preferences. It takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. I make an incision to remove excess skin, then resculpt the labia minora to give them a more harmonious shape.
3. Recovery: After the operation, a period of rest is necessary. You can resume normal activity after a few days, taking care to follow the recommendations for optimal healing.

The results of nymphoplasty are both aesthetic and functional. You'll notice an immediate improvement in comfort in your daily activities. Here are the main benefits:

• Greater comfort: no more discomfort during sports activities or when wearing tight clothing
• Improved appearance: The labia minora will be more proportionate, which may also improve your self-confidence.
• Improved well-being: You'll feel more at ease in your body, especially during intercourse.

Results are usually visible quickly, and you can expect complete healing within a few weeks.

Before undergoing nymphoplasty, it's important to have all the information you need to feel confident. Here are a few points to consider:

• The consultation is essential: it is during this appointment that we will determine together whether this procedure is the best solution for you.
• Expectations must be realistic: It's important to understand that nymphoplasty is a corrective procedure, not a sexual treatment. The goal is to provide you with physical and aesthetic comfort.
• After the operation, you should avoid strenuous physical exertion and sexual intercourse for about 4 to 6 weeks.

Like all surgical procedures, nymphoplasty carries certain risks. However, if you follow the recommendations carefully, these risks remain limited. Possible risks include:

• Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection. However, infections are rare when you follow post-operative care.
• Bleeding: Bleeding may occur after the procedure, but is generally minimal.
• Visible scars: Scars are usually very discreet and hidden in the natural folds of the skin.

Some women wonder whether it's possible to tighten the labia minora without surgery. Unfortunately, when it comes to excess skin, there is no non-surgical treatment that can effectively resolve this problem. Creams or body-building exercises have no effect on the labia minora. Nymphoplasty remains the only effective option for correcting labia minora hypertrophy.

This procedure is indicated if you experience physical discomfort or aesthetic discomfort related to the shape or size of your labia minora. During our consultation, we'll assess your situation together to determine whether this surgery is right for you.

• Do you suffer from physical discomfort when exercising, wearing tight clothing or having sex?
• Do you have a complex about the appearance of your labia minora that affects your well-being?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, nymphoplasty may be a solution.

The price of a nymphoplasty operation starts at €3,000.

It depends on a number of factors, including the nature and complexity of the operation to be performed, and the length of hospital stay.

The price of nymphoplasty will be determined during the initial consultation with Dr. Christelle Santini. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment with me for more information on labia minora reduction by nymphoplasty.
