Labiaplasty is a medical procedure that reduces unwanted tissue around the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips). In these cases, the labia minora or labia majora cause symptoms including pain, discomfort or embarrassment.

Labiaplasty surgery is usually performed under local anaesthetic as a walk-in walk-out procedure. This can be arranged if the patient prefers it to a general anaesthetic (being put to sleep). The excess skin is removed under light sedation, and local anaesthetic and sutures are used to close the incisions made.

The procedure usually takes around an hour, and patients can go home soon afterwards. Book a consultation to meet one of our labiaplasty doctors.

There is a very wide variation in normal anatomy, and this is particularly true for the external female genitalia.

For some women their labia are large and can be a problem when doing sports like bike riding or horse riding; for others it can be uncomfortable to wear certain clothing or even precludes the wearing of swim wear; some women feel very self conscious about their large labia and this can interfere in their intimate relationships and with intercourse.

For some women only one side is too large and this side is simply reduced to match the smaller side.

Most patients feel a little sore for two or three days after Labiaplasty surgery and can usually return to work after that time, provided they don’t do a lot of walking.

Pain is usually minimal and controlled with simple analgesics; salt baths help soothe the area and keep it clean.

A pad is worn to absorb any exudate. The sutures are dissolving and, for most women, don’t need to be taken out.

Sexual activity can usually resume after three to four weeks if healing is expected.

Patients who wish to get Labiaplasty Surgery done may wonder whether they can claim the procedure on Medicare or not. Unfortunately, there isn’t a straight Yes or No answer to this question. Medicare may offer you a rebate on Labiaplasty surgery, but only if you meet the specific criteria to qualify i.e 

• You experience irritation and discomfort while wearing certain clothing items
• You suffer from chronic infections
• You experience pain and discomfort while exercising 
• You experience discomfort during sexual intercourse

Please discuss directly with Medicare if you can obtain a rebate and get coverage for Labiaplasty through Item Numbers 35533 and 35534. The procedure must be seen as a Medical necessity by your doctor and Medicare. If your surgery is for purely cosmetic reasons only, Medicare will not pay for it. Medicare or your private health insurance may offer a partial subsidy however there will still be direct payments required to be made to your doctor.

Making the decision to have cosmetic surgery is a serious one, and patients considering a procedure should also keep in mind that they need time to recover, they will need support, and possibly time off work. They may also need other therapies such as massage and compression garments.

During your consultation we will discuss the range of options available to you and recommend treatments that have the best chance of achieving your desired goals. Part of this conversation will cover, in more detail, the types of complications and risks that apply to your specific circumstances. In general, the risks and complications of surgery are:

• disappointing aesthetic outcome
• infection
• bleeding
• scarring
• significant asymmetry (a large difference between sides)
• pain
• change in skin sensation (eg. numbness)
• allergic reaction
• anaesthetic complications
• prolonged recover and wound healing
• collections of fluid

All of these may result in the need for further treatment or surgery.
