Nymphoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the size of the labia minora (genital area). It is also known as labiaplasty or minor labiaplasty. This surgery is performed on women who experience physical or emotional discomfort due to the size and shape of their labia minora.
The procedure involves removing a varying amount of tissue from the labia minora to reduce their size.

How is nyphoplasty done?‍

The surgeon must evaluate the labia minora before surgery to make a surgical plan. The amount of tissue that is removed will depend on the patient's preference and the desired outcome.

After surgery, the patient may experience mild pain, discomfort, and swelling in the genital area. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions for post-operative care, such as avoiding strenuous physical activity for several weeks and keeping the area clean and dry.

The duration of the procedure is approximately one hour, it can be performed under local or general anesthesia and the patient can go home the same day.

In which patients is nyphoplasty indicated?

Nymphoplasty is usually performed for two reasons:

1. Physical discomfort due to the size of the labia minora.

In some cases, the labia minora can be so large that they cause discomfort during physical activity, or difficulty wearing certain types of clothing. In other cases, the size of the labia minora may cause irritation or pain during sexual intercourse.

2. Emotional discomfort due to the size of the labia minora

Some women may feel embarrassed or insecure about their genital appearance, which can affect their sex life and self-esteem. Nyphoplasty can help alleviate these concerns and improve the patient's quality of life.

Recovery from nyphoplasty is generally quick and most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. However, it's important to note that sexual activity should be avoided for about a month after surgery to allow for complete healing.

This surgical procedure is a safe and effective option for women who want to reduce the size of their labia minora and/or improve their physical and emotional comfort.

If you're considering nyphoplasty, it's important talk to a professional surgeon and make an evaluation consultation to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure and determine if it's the right option for you.
