Labiaplasty in Kenya

Labia minora reduction surgery or labiaplasty is a surgical procedure meant to reduce the size or change the shape of a woman’s labia minora (the inner vaginal lips). It is often performed on women who feel that their labia minora are uneven or too large. Enlarged labia minora can be a medical condition known as labial hypertrophy, which cause discomfort while performing certain activities like riding horses, cycling, walking or wearing tight clothing as well as embarrassment with a sexual partner or pain during sexual intercourse.

Large labia can be caused by childbirth, age, and hormonal changes, or it may simply be present from birth.

Labia minora reduction or labiaplasty surgery does not mean that the enlarged labia is removed altogether. Instead, the labia minora are contoured, reshaped, and reduced in size with as little cutting as possible – to the desired shape. We will discuss with you beforehand the exact shape and size you will desire.

This day case procedure is carefully undertaken whilst the patient is under local anaesthetic, with almost no downtime. Sometimes it can be combined with a vaginal tightening procedure – a vaginoplasty.
