Your concerns

A private conversation, shaped around you.

Individualized assessment and hospital-based surgery for selected labial comfort, function, or appearance concerns. Your consultation may include:

  • Chafing, pulling, or irritation with clothing or activity
  • Discomfort during exercise or intercourse
  • Changes after childbirth or injury
  • Questions about labial size, shape, symmetry, or appearance

Before treatment

Assessment comes first.

Dr. Tessa will review whether this option is appropriate, what alternatives are available, and what a realistic outcome may look like.

  • Whether symptoms have a treatable skin, infection, or pain-related cause
  • Your goals and understanding of normal anatomical variation
  • Medical history, medications, smoking, and healing factors
  • Scarring, sensation, asymmetry, recovery, and future childbirth

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is asymmetry normal?

Yes. Differences in labial size, shape, color, and symmetry are common. Surgery is a personal decision made after alternatives and risks are reviewed.

Can labiaplasty affect sensation?

Temporary or lasting sensation changes are possible, along with pain, scarring, asymmetry, or pain with intercourse.

Can I have the procedure before a future pregnancy?

Possibly, but pregnancy and birth may change the tissues or result. Your plans should be part of the consultation.

When symptoms are urgent

Severe or rapidly worsening pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, fever with worsening swelling, difficulty breathing, or a possible pregnancy emergency requires prompt assessment. Contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.
