Labiaplasty in Manchester

There is no standard shape, size or colour for any genitalia, including labia. Despite this, some people may still feel unhappy with the overall appearance of their labia. This could be due to childbirth, significant weight loss or just genetics. People may feel emotional discomfort or shyness about their genitals due to enlarged, stretched, asymmetrical or discoloured features. It could be that people feel physical discomfort because the labia is painful during sex or exercising. A labiaplasty can help to address these feelings and restore confidence and comfort.

A labiaplasty is a common and relatively straightforward procedure. It takes around 1 or 2 hours to complete. Patients can usually return home the same day. There are two labiaplasty techniques, the trim method and the wedge method, and the procedure can be performed on both the thinner inner labia minora and larger outer labia majora. However, it is more commonly done to reduce the size of the labia minora.

The results of the procedure should be visible straight after surgery. But there will usually be some swelling. The final surgery results will be visible within weeks once the swelling goes down and the incisions heal, but it will heal fully in about 6 months.

Should you choose Medbelle for your labiaplasty surgery in Manchester, you will first have a consultation with a specialist of your choosing. Only after the consultation will you receive a set price for your treatment. This price will depend on several factors, including:

• the choice of surgical techniques
• additional combined procedures
• whether the surgery is performed using general or local anaesthetics
• the complexity or time required for the procedure

Once the final offer has been made, there will be no hidden costs or additional fees. The price will then include:

• any overnight stays (if required)
• hospitals costs
• anaesthetist costs
• surgeon costs
• aftercare and follow-up appointments

The consultation is an important stage of the labiaplasty surgery process. It allows the surgeon and patient to meet in person and discuss what the patient hopes to get out of the procedure and what the surgeon believes can be realistically achieved through surgery. The surgeon will use the consultation to create a unique and personalised surgery plan for each patient. A personalised plan includes, for example, a plan for which surgical technique is most appropriate for the individual case. This decision will be based on a combination of the surgeon’s expertise and the patient’s personal wants and needs. 

It may be the case that during the consultation, the surgeon may suggest a course of action which differs slightly from what a patient has read online or perhaps what they have heard about from a friend or acquaintance. Just know, the surgeon will always have a patient's best interest at heart.

But the consultation is also important because it allows the patient to have their voice heard. And, it is worth noting that great results from surgery are not only contingent on a surgeons ability or experience. It also depends on how well the patient can convey what they want to achieve. They should always make efforts to communicate clearly at every stage of the process.

The consultation will include:

• A physical examination
• An initial discussion about what the patient hopes to achieve through surgery
• An overview of the risks and complications associated with surgery
• A verbal recommended treatment plan

If you are looking for a highly experienced surgical team to deliver your ear pinning procedure, then look no further than our surgeons. All of our surgeons are BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) or BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) accredited. This means we are able to offer you the highest level of quality and professionalism throughout, which is recognised by trusted and independent bodies. They are also all trained in the UK and have at least ten years of experience as a certified plastic surgeon. Simply put, you are in the best, most capable hands when you book with Medbelle.

BAAPS and BAPRAS surgeons emphasise that there is no “normal” and “abnormal” when it comes to the shape and size of female genitals. Every individual is unique and has their own shape. Thus, there is a great deal of difference in the appearance of normal female genitalia. There are many variations in the size and shape of a labia. Therefore, it is important that you do not compare yourself to images of others.

Typically patients have their initial consultation with one of the surgeons without a referral from your GP. But if you plan to go ahead with surgery, your surgeon may ask for your permission to contact your GP. This will be for details of your medical history.

Furthermore, certain medical conditions may need a GP sign off before moving forward with the labiaplasty. Your Patient Care Adviser will let you know if this is required in your case.

Labiaplasty is not usually free on the NHS for cosmetic reasons. However, it is possible that it can be provided by the NHS if your labia are causing you problems in how you function day to day or significant discomfort and pain.

If this is the case, you may need to see your GP who can help you organise the surgery.

Smoking greatly increases the risk of complications occurring during and after your operation. It can result in slow wound healing and an increase in the rate of infections. Therefore, all surgeons request that all patients be smoke and nicotine-free for at least six weeks before and after surgery.

Furthermore, drinking alcohol, being overweight and taking drugs for medical or other reasons, also increase the risk of complications. Because of this, you should try and make sure you are as healthy as possible before opting for labiaplasty surgery.
