Question 1

Who is a candidate for intimate surgery?

Accepted Answer

Intimate surgery is recommended for patients who experience discomfort or distress related to the size of their labia minora.
Labial hypertrophy often causes irritation during certain physical activities, such as sports, or during sexual intercourse. In some cases, patients may simply feel self-conscious or unhappy with the appearance of their vulva.

If you identify with any of these concerns, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. We will assess your case and guide you toward the most appropriate treatment based on your needs and personal preferences.

Question 2

What does a nymphoplasty consist of?

Accepted Answer

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 1 hour. In a nymphoplasty, or labia minora reduction, the size is decreased by removing redundant tissue. Similarly, if it is necessary to reduce the clitoral hood or prepuce, part of it is also removed. In cases where correction of the labia majora is needed, lipofilling or fat grafting is usually performed to increase their volume.

Question 3

And what about after intimate surgery?

Accepted Answer

After surgery, the labia minora will be covered with a dressing and ointment, and it is recommended to apply local cold therapy during the first hours and days to reduce swelling.

It is also important to keep the wounds clean and avoid contact with urine.

Sexual activity should be avoided for the first 2–3 weeks, as well as intense physical activity.

Don’t hesitate—if you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your labia majora and wish to improve them, our plastic surgery team in Barcelona and Maresme will guide you to achieve the desired result.

Question 4

Can it be associated with another aesthetic procedure?

Accepted Answer

Intimate surgery can be combined with other body procedures such as liposuction, breast augmentation, or even facial procedures.
