Intimate plastic surgery ( labiaplasty ) is one of the most popular areas in intimate surgery. The purpose of labiaplasty is to eliminate aesthetic and functional deficiencies associated with individual characteristics or age-related changes. Intimate plastic surgery can significantly improve the quality of a patient’s intimate life. For many patients, this topic is sensitive, so this article contains the most pressing questions and answers about the features of the operation.
What type of anesthesia is labiaplasty performed under?
Labiaplasty is a minimally invasive operation that does not take much time.
It is not rational to influence the body with general anesthesia, so labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. In preparation for the operation, the surgeon discusses this issue with the patient, and the final decision on the type of anesthesia is made jointly. However, choosing local anesthesia makes it possible to perform intimate plastic surgery on an outpatient basis and can significantly reduce the list of tests required for the operation.
Features of the event
Intimate contour plastic surgery of the external genitalia is performed under local application anesthesia. This involves applying a special cream or spray with an anesthetic to the affected area. As a rule, such products contain lidocaine, so you need to make sure that you are not allergic to this compound. The analgesic effect occurs after 10-20 minutes, after which the gynecologist treats the skin with an antiseptic solution and proceeds directly to the injection of filler.
The procedure is performed on a gynecological chair.
If G-spot augmentation or vaginal rejuvenation is performed, anesthesia is not used. This is due to the fact that the vaginal walls are characterized by low sensitivity to damage, including injections.
Injections are performed using a special cannula, the design of which ensures minimal tissue trauma even with deep insertion. Its features are its small length and diameter, and the fact that it does not have sharp cutting edges. In most cases, 1 ml of hyaluronic acid filler is sufficient to eliminate existing deficiencies. But if it is necessary to significantly increase the volume of the labia or eliminate severe deformation, its amount can increase to 2-4 ml.
After completion of the manipulation, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic, and the doctor explains in detail to the patient the features of caring for the affected area and the required restrictions. In general, the entire procedure takes about 1 hour, and after its completion the woman can return to her daily duties.
Intimate contouring goes well with other restorative procedures, in particular plasma lifting and laser vaginal rejuvenation.
Drugs used
For intimate filling, hyaluronic acid preparations of medium and high viscosity are used. The most popular are the following:
- Bellcontour GVISC (Switzerland, HYAL Intertrade) – the drug was created specifically for working with the genital area;
- ReneallSecretlife (Russia, “SLS”) - a domestic analogue of Bellcontour GVISC;
- JuvedermVoluma, Volift, Volbella, Juvedermultra 3, Juvedermultra 4 (USA, ALLERGAN) - fillers that have a fairly dense consistency and are considered one of the best products today for working with the intimate area, both in terms of effectiveness and safety;
- Teosyal RHA II, III, IV (Switzerland, TEOXANE) – preparations with increased viscosity, which ensures the most lasting result, but are used mainly to create the missing volume;
- Princess Filler, Princess Filler lidocaine, Princess Voluma, Volumalidocaine (Austria, ROMA) - high-quality, affordable, but no less safe and effective filler for correction of tissues of the intimate area.
What types of labiaplasty are there?
Labiaplasty is a whole section of plastic surgery and a set of techniques that are used to restore and create the functional purpose and aesthetic appeal of the intimate organs. The concept of “labiaplasty” combines many operations: plastic surgery of the labia minora and majora, plastic surgery of the clitoris, plastic surgery of the commissure, liposuction of the pubis, lipofilling of the pubis and vulva, lipofilling of the vagina and combined plastic surgery – parallel correction of several zones at once.
Preparation for intimate contouring
The procedure does not require complex and lengthy preparation. However, before undergoing it, it is necessary to undergo a gynecological examination and undergo a series of tests in order to exclude the presence of a number of diseases that may become a contraindication for plastic surgery, and thereby protect the patient from the development of negative consequences. Therefore, before the procedure it is worth passing:
- microflora smear and oncocytological examination;
- general blood analysis;
- testing for the presence of STDs;
- blood test for hepatitis, HIV and syphilis.
Immediately before the procedure, the woman will need to undergo deep bikini depilation in any way suitable for her. But if she prefers sugaring or another type of hair removal, it is worth planning the introduction of fillers only a few days after this, so that the irritation of the delicate skin of the intimate area has time to subside.
Women of reproductive age should undergo the procedure between menstruation.
What problems does labiaplasty solve?
Labiaplasty is performed for medical and aesthetic reasons. At the request of the patient, defects such as excess fat deposits/tissue deficiency, decreased sexual sensitivity, sprains, asymmetry, uneven skin texture, and congenital anomalies are corrected. In addition, intimate plastic surgery is indicated if there are medical indications: partial/complete loss of functions of the organs of the intimate zone, ruptures and other injuries, congenital fusion of the labia, elongation and severe hypertrophy.
Indications for use
The procedure is primarily indicated for middle-aged and mature women with:
- asymmetry, underdevelopment of the external genitalia or their deformation as a result of injury;
- decreased tone, sagging skin due to age-related changes, sudden weight loss;
- vaginal ptosis;
- tissue stretching as a result of childbirth, especially multiple births;
- the presence of a feeling of dryness and itching in the area of the external genitalia, which may be a consequence of hormonal imbalance, the consequences of pregnancy and childbirth, the onset of menopause, involution of the mucous membrane;
- decreased sensitivity of the walls of the vagina, clitoris, G-spot, lack of orgasm;
- stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage during coughing, laughter, physical activity) caused by childbirth, decreased tone of the pelvic muscles and other factors.
Since dissatisfaction with anatomical features negatively affects the psychological state and quality of intimate life, the procedure can also be performed if the shape of the vagina and the appearance of the external genitalia do not correspond to the desires and ideas of a woman of any age.
You need to understand that there are no strict aesthetic standards in the intimate sphere. Therefore, when performing it to improve the appearance of the external genitalia, the doctor will primarily be guided by the wishes of the patient.
Intimate contouring after menopause or menopause
Menopause is a transitional period in the life of every representative of the fair half of humanity, during which a gradual decrease in ovarian function occurs until the complete cessation of their activity. This leads to the occurrence of estrogen deficiency, which inevitably causes the development of vegetative-vascular, metabolic-trophic and other disorders. This affects the well-being and condition of the genital organs. Therefore, it is during this period that complaints of vaginal dryness, decreased skin turgor, etc. most often appear.
According to statistical data, 2-5 years after the onset of menopause, the development of urogenital disorders is observed, manifested by:
- urinary incontinence;
- discomfort during intimacy;
- burning, dryness and itching in the vagina;
- decrease in volume (hypotrophy) of the labia;
- an increase in the frequency of urogenital infections;
- prolapse of the genital organs.
But menopause is not a reason to endure discomfort in the genital area and refuse a full sex life. After all, women today live much longer than just a few decades ago. Therefore, almost a third of life is spent in a state of estrogen deficiency. Therefore, the importance of medical and social problems for patients in this age category increases.
Therefore, at this age, especially with the development of urogenital disorders, intimate contour plastic surgery can be the best solution. It will allow you to quickly and permanently eliminate disturbing symptoms and significantly improve your overall quality of life.
Possible complications
Intimate contour plastic surgery is highly safe, but, like any other injection cosmetic procedure, if the technique is violated, as well as subsequent care, it may be accompanied by the development of undesirable effects. In such cases, infection and the formation of granulomas are possible.
At the Institute of Human Restoration clinic, intimate contour plastic surgery is performed by experienced gynecologists using modern hypoallergenic fillers based on hyaluronic acid, which have been certified and approved for use in the Russian Federation.
Thus, intimate contouring is an effective and safe way to improve the appearance of the female genital organs, improve the quality of intimate life, and also completely get rid of complexes and feelings of dissatisfaction. And although the passing of years, childbirth and other factors can lead to changes in the condition of the genital organs, today they can be easily corrected using a simple, affordable and virtually painless procedure - intimate contouring.

Recovery period
The procedure does not require a complex and lengthy rehabilitation period. Recovery is easy and painless. Immediately after intimate contouring, swelling of the soft tissues of the external genitalia is observed. This is considered a normal reaction of the body to the intervention and goes away on its own. Sometimes small hematomas, nodules or lumps form at the sites where the cannula is inserted, but they also disappear without treatment within 2-3 days. Some women may experience minor discomfort and itching for several days.
To obtain the desired effect and ensure its stability, it is necessary to refrain from:
- sexual life;
- visits to the solarium, bathhouse, swimming pool;
- increased physical activity, especially cycling and working in the gym;
- thermal procedures, including taking a hot bath;
- taking blood thinning medications, in particular aspirin;
- other effects on the groin and perineum.
2-3 days after the procedure, a follow-up examination by a gynecologist is scheduled.
