Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that is considered medically necessary when hypertrophy (excessive enlargement) of the labia minora (inner lips) in the genital area causes recurrent vaginal and urinary infections, irritation, painful sexual intercourse (dyspareunia), and movement restriction despite treatment. Excess skin can be twisted and pinched during exercise, physical activities, and intercourse, creating pain. This procedure can also be performed if one lip part is longer or has a different structure than the other, a condition known as “labial asymmetry.” Moreover, labiaplasty is also performed for aesthetic and gender-affirming purposes. The drooping, wrinkled, dark-colored, and asymmetrical look of the labia minora can create a variety of cosmetic and practical issues. As a result, labiaplasty surgery has psychological, aesthetic, sanitary, sexual, and functional advantages.Labiaplasty surgery can be conducted in the hospital or in a proper clinical environment under local anesthetic, general anesthesia, or spinal anesthesia. It is more convenient for patients, especially if it can be done in a clinical environment under a local anesthetic.

Vaginoplasty is a genital construction or repair treatment. It tackles various medical concerns, including vaginal damage after delivery and consequences from pelvic floor disorders. It is also used to create a transgender vagina, which assists individuals in achieving their desired gender identification. Factors such as birth, advanced age, menopause, intense sports workouts, chronic constipation, chronic lung illnesses, rapid weight loss, malnutrition, hormonal causes, connective tissue diseases, hereditary abnormalities cause sagging in vaginal tissues, relaxation, slack, stretching, and enlargement. Since vaginoplasty is an operation performed in a very short time or without pain, the patient can return to her everyday life in a short time. The recovery time post vaginoplasty surgery is between one and two weeks. The patient may endure swelling and discomfort following the procedure. The discomfort and swelling that arise over time disappear after the interventions.
