Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora or labia majora, improving both comfort and confidence. Whether you're experiencing physical discomfort during exercise, irritation from clothing or concerns about the appearance of the intimate area, labiaplasty offers a personalised solution tailored to your individual needs.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced consultant plastic surgeons provide discreet, compassionate care in a private and supportive environment, helping you achieve natural-looking results that enhance both comfort and wellbeing.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSLabiaplasty is a cosmetic and functional surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the labia, most commonly the labia minora (the inner lips of the vulva). In some cases, the procedure may also involve the labia majora (the outer lips), depending on your individual concerns and treatment goals.
Women choose labiaplasty for a variety of reasons. Some experience discomfort during exercise, cycling or sexual activity due to enlarged or uneven labial tissue. Others may feel self-conscious about the appearance of their intimate area or notice changes following childbirth, ageing or significant weight loss.
The procedure is carefully tailored to preserve the natural anatomy and function of the vulva while improving symmetry, reducing excess tissue and enhancing comfort. Our consultant surgeons focus on achieving subtle, natural-looking results that respect your individual anatomy.
Labiaplasty is a highly personal decision, and your consultation is conducted with complete discretion, allowing you to discuss your concerns openly and confidently.
