What is labia reduction surgery?

Labia reduction surgery involves reducing and reshaping the labia minora (inner lips) and labia majora (outer lips) to achieve a more comfortable, proportionate, and symmetrical appearance. It is often performed to address discomfort during activities such as cycling, exercise, or intercourse, or to improve the appearance of the area. The surgery involves removing excess tissue to create a more proportionate shape, helping women who experience discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness due to the size or shape of their labia.

Dr. Stefano Cotrufo performs labia reductions in London using refined surgical methods designed to minimise discomfort and maximise natural-looking results.

Benefits of Labia Reduction Surgery

Labia reduction surgery can provide fantastic functional and cosmetic benefits. It can help to eliminate chafing and irritation, offering relief from physical discomfort and improving hygiene by reducing moisture retention and irritation. Many women experience enhanced confidence and improved self-image, along with increased comfort in intimate settings. Patients often appreciate the minimal downtime, with most returning to normal activities within a week, and discreet scarring, as incisions are carefully placed for invisible scars. The procedure can also improve emotional well-being and increase sexual satisfaction, allowing women to feel more comfortable and confident in their everyday lives.

Recovery & Aftercare

Expect some pain and swelling for a few days; gentle ice packs in the first 24 hours help. Arrange about a week off work and avoid vigorous activity for 4‑6 weeks. Your consultant will see you for a follow‑up and provide any medication needed for up to 14 days.

Dr Cotrufo’s team provides comprehensive aftercare and support, ensuring every patient feels confident and informed throughout their recovery.
