Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora, the inner vaginal lips and/or the labia majora, the outer vaginal lips. Many people choose this treatment for a combination of functional and aesthetic reasons, whether to improve comfort during daily activities, enhance confidence, to correct asymmetry or excess tissue, changes following childbirth, ageing or hormonal shifts or to achieve a more balanced appearance.
Confidential Support, Personalised Care
At Body Curve, we understand that concerns relating to intimate areas can feel sensitive and deeply personal. Making the decision to consider labiaplasty can take time and many patients feel nervous or unsure about discussing their concerns. Our team provides a respectful, confidential and supportive environment where patients can feel comfortable speaking openly and receiving clear, compassionate guidance. We recognise that choosing to undergo labiaplasty is not simply a cosmetic decision but one that can have a meaningful impact on physical comfort and emotional wellbeing.
Trim Technique
This technique removes excess tissue along the edge of the labia to create a smoother, neater contour.
Wedge Technique
This technique removes a small, V-shaped section from the central area of the labia, preserving the natural edge while reducing bulk.
Labia Majora Reduction
This option reduces excess skin or fullness in the outer labia, helping to create a firmer, more streamlined appearance.
Clitoral Hood Reduction
Sometimes performed alongside labiaplasty, this technique reduces excess skin around the clitoral hood to improve balance in the area and enhance the overall aesthetic result.
